If there was one name on horror fans\u2019 lips in 2022, it was Mia Goth. After starring in Ti West’s sleazy slasher X<\/em> as aspiring actress Maxine Minx, Goth and West rocked the horror world with the announcement that not only was X<\/em> the first entry into a trilogy – but the sequel, Pearl<\/em>, was already written, shot and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since X<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and Pearl<\/strong><\/em><\/a> both debuted to rave reviews, we’ve been desperate to find out just how Maxine Minx\u2019s journey continues in the upcoming third film MaXXXine<\/em>. In a recent exclusive interview with Variety<\/strong><\/a>, Goth teased that MaXXXine<\/em> has ‘the best script of all three’<\/strong> and went into more exciting detail about the production of the film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s going be the best movie of the three. We\u2019re all so tight now. This is going to be our third movie we\u2019re working on together and everyone\u2019s coming back together, so it\u2019s bringing the band all back together again. We just have a shorthand with each other. We know how everybody works and we\u2019re all so excited. It\u2019s the biggest story of the three with the highest stakes and Maxine has gone through so much at this point. So when we find her in this new world, she\u2019s just a force to be reckoned with and she goes through some pretty wild adventures. \u2018<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Goth also revealed that filming for MaXXXine<\/em> is set to start later this year and that she is currently \u2018in prep with the script, doing my homework, getting everything ready.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if starring in two of the year\u2019s most beloved horrors wasn\u2019t enough, the latter half of 2022 was abuzz with the reveal of the trailer<\/strong><\/a> for Infinity Pool<\/em>, the long awaited third feature from Brandon Cronenberg<\/strong>, in which Goth will be starring alongside Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd. Described as being filled with ‘violence, hedonism and untold horror’, the R-rated Infinity Pool<\/em> will premiere at Sundance later this month<\/strong><\/a>. When asked about what drew her to the film, Goth told Variety that;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The first thing that had me intrigued about this project was Brandon. I had watched his previous films and was a huge fan of those, and thought he has a really unique outlook on the world. He is incredibly thought-provoking, and with all of his movies it\u2019s not a \u201clean back and relax\u201d sort of experience. It\u2019s very much lean in and engage, and that\u2019s what I think movies should be. That\u2019s how I think they should be created \u2014 to challenge the audience in one way or another. And so I was very excited to receive his script; I received it when I was filming \u201cPearl\u201d in New Zealand. I was just so intrigued that on my Sunday off I poured myself my cup of coffee and opened the script, and within about four pages I knew that this was something I had to do and be a part of.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But of course 2022 didn\u2019t mark Goth\u2019s first foray into the horror world; quite the contrary, in fact. Goth’s filmography is stacked full of genre fare, including Gore Verbinski’s A Cure for Wellness<\/em>, Sergio G. S\u00e1nchez’s Marrowbone<\/em>, Claire Denis’ High Life<\/em> and Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 Suspiria<\/em> remake. When asked about her tendency to be drawn to projects helmed by bold and unique directors, Goth revealed that to her, \u2018the director is first and foremost the most important element when I\u2019m deciding which project to do next. If you don\u2019t have total trust in the person leading the ship, then there\u2019s really not much point in being involved in a project.’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interview has got us even MORE hyped for MaXXXine<\/em> and Infinity Pool<\/em> and we didn\u2019t even think that was possible. Read the full interview over at Variety here<\/strong><\/a> and check out A24’s official MaXXXine<\/em> promo below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
