Charli XCX discussed her upcoming movie project, The Moment<\/a>, in a new Vanity Fair<\/a> cover story, calling the film a \u201c2024 period piece\u201d and \u201cthe realest depiction of the music industry that I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n Details about the mysterious project have trickled out over the past year or so, with Charli working on the project in the midst of last year\u2019s Brat explosion<\/a>. Earlier this month, a synopsis and cast finally arrived<\/a>, with Charli set to star alongside Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, Rachel Sennott, Kylie Jenner, Rosanna Arquette, and more.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n The Moment has been described as \u201cbased on an original idea\u201d by Charli, and the synopsis reads: \u201cA rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.\u201d While there are obvious parallels with Charli doing her first arena tours<\/a> in support of Brat<\/a>, she stressed that the film is fictional, and \u201cnot a tour documentary or a concert film in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n But Charli did say that the idea for the project came about after she was pressured to make a documentary while on the road in support of Brat. \u201cI feel like my problem with a lot of musician documentaries is it often shows the musician coming up against some kind of opposition and eventually overcoming it to be the hero. And that\u2019s just not been my experience, you know? Maybe it has been a lot of other people\u2019s, and that\u2019s awesome,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n Instead, the film\u2019s director and co-writer, Aidan Zamiri, said the film offers a kind of alternate history of the Brat era, showing what would\u2019ve happened if Charli had made \u201centirely different choices\u201d around the album.<\/p>\n Skarsg\u00e5rd, for instance, is set to play a documentary filmmaker in The Moment. The actor described his character as the person the record label \u201cconvinces Charli is the hottest director out there\u2026 the right person to capture Charli XCX and get the most out of this phenomenon that Brat was.\u201d<\/p>\n Because The Moment is such a hyper-meta house of mirrors, Charli suggested that making it offered her the rare opportunity to actually reflect on this pivotal moment in her career. \u201cI always find it hard to sit down and look at things with distance, because I am always moving on to the next thing,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that I process myself through my work. I\u2019m writing about myself and my thoughts all the time, and my thoughts about what people think about me.\u201d<\/p>\n The Moment doesn\u2019t have a release date yet, but it is set to arrive in 2026. The stacked cast is also set to feature Jamie Demetriou, Kate Berlant, Shygirl, Isaac Powell, and Rish Shah. Charli\u2019s frequent collaborator A.G. Cook will appear in the film, too, and he\u2019s also handling the music.<\/p>\n (Also, for those who are wondering: Charli declined to comment on Taylor Swift\u2019s <\/a>\u201cActually Romantic\u201d<\/a> in the cover story.)<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
