Following her Oscar-winning performance in Sean Baker’s “Anora,” Mikey Madison is getting ready for her next role in A24’s dark and intriguing adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale, “The Masque of the Red Death.”
The actress will play twin sisters caught in a web of deceit and danger. One twin, living in the lower class, infiltrates the prince’s castle by impersonating her deceased sister, while a mysterious figure, disguised as a Red Death victim, brings a deadly fate to the prince and his guests.
Madison takes over the project from Sydney Sweeney, who exited due to scheduling conflicts. With production slated to begin later this year or early next, Madison’s proven acting abilities and versatility make her a compelling choice for this complex role.
The film promises to be a thrilling and dark exploration of Poe’s timeless themes, and with Madison at the helm, audiences can expect a captivating performance.
