Deadline reported that Charli XCX and Yung Lean are joining the cast of the new movie Sacrifice, the forthcoming Romain Gavras-directed thriller loosely inspired by the Joan Of Arc Story.
Per an official description, the story follows Joan (Taylor-Joy), who embarks on a mission to save the world from an evil volcanic spirit alongside her mystical squad. The radical group raids a star-studded charity gala and takes three hostages: fallen movie star Mike Tyler (Evans), the world’s richest man Bracken (Cassel) and an unlucky girl named Katie (Mod). The trio is then tied to Joan’s quest to defend humanity, one that requires sacrifice."
The film also stars Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek, Sam Richardson, Vincent Cassel, John Malkovich, Ambika Mod, Jade Croot, Jeremy O. Harris, and Miriam Silverman. Filming is underway in Greece and Bulgaria.
After her successful stint doing double-duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live earlier this month, Charli XCX has added several film and television roles to her plate in the months with upcoming features in projects titled 100 Nights of Hero, Overcompensating, Faces of Death, I Want Your Sex, Erupcja, and 100 Nights of Hero.
Yung Lean, who was the subject of the 2020 documentary Yung Lean: In My Head, will be making his feature-film debut in Sacrifice. He released his latest album, the Bladee collaboration Psykos, in March.
