Fresh from her Oscar-winning triumph in "Anora," Mikey Madison appears ready to embark on her next cinematic odyssey with renewed vigor and exuberance. The accomplished actress, who captivated audiences in "Scream" and has become notoriously discerning in her role selections, is currently the talk of Hollywood, her prestigious accolade shining brightly. However, she has gracefully declined an untitled "Star Wars" project helmed by acclaimed director Shawn Levy, whose credits include "Deadpool" and "Wolverine."
According to a well-placed source, Madison is now locked in negotiations to take the lead in a daring reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe's timeless tale, "Masque of the Red Death." The Hollywood Reporter has been privy to inside information revealing that she will step into the role vacated by Sydney Sweeney, who unfortunately had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts.
Our informed source delves deeper, uncovering that Madison will portray twin sisters in this enthralling film. The narrative weaves a tale of a crazy prince who invites the aristocracy to take refuge in his castle while a plague ravages the common folk. One of the twins, long concealed amidst the rabble, stealthily enters the fortress, only to find herself ensnared in a decadent world of orgiastic revelry, opium dens, intrigue, vengeance, and beheadings.
The tipster further reveals that production on "Masque of the Red Death" is poised to commence towards the close of this year or the dawn of the next, promising an immersive cinematic experience that will resonate deeply with fans of Poe's macabre masterpieces.
