Is this real life, or just fantasy? That\u2019s the blurry line Charli xcx navigates in the trailer for her new film The Moment, in which she portrays a thinly veiled version of her arena-filling, pop star self. The movie will be released in theaters Jan. 26 by A24 and is the first from the artist\u2019s Studio365 production company.<\/p>\n
To add to the confusion, Charli uses her own name in The Moment and references her actual music, including the smash hit 2024 album brat. \u201cWhen I felt like people started to care about me, nothing else mattered,\u201d she says in the trailer. \u201cNothing was more important than\u00a0brat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The artist recently confirmed to Vanity Fair<\/a> that The Moment is \u201cnot a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one.\u201d The film\u2019s synopsis describes it as a musician navigating \u201cthe complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.\u201d<\/p>\n The Moment co-stars Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Rachel Sennott, Kate Berlant, Arielle Dombasle and Hailey Benton Gates. It was directed by Aidan Zamiri, who is making his feature debut after previously working with Charli on such videos as \u201cGuess\u201d and \u201c360\u201d and helping steer the overall look of her\u00a0brat\u00a0campaign. He also wrote the screenplay in tandem with Bertie Brandes. The score was penned by A.G. Cook., who will act in the film with fellow artist Shygirl.<\/p>\n Charli is involved in a number of upcoming film projects, including the remake of Wuthering Heights, for which the soundtrack<\/a> will double as her next album. She\u2019ll also act in Dakota Johnson\u2019s directing debut, A Tree Is Blue, Cathy Yan\u2019s\u00a0The Gallerist, Gregg Araki\u2019s\u00a0I Want Your Sex\u00a0and a remake of the 1978 schlock horror classic\u00a0Faces of Death.<\/p>\n
