Lily Collins is set to star in an upcoming horror movie, but her role in a previous Netflix film seemingly goes hand in hand with her new part.
MaXXXine features an all-star cast, including Lily Collins, who previously starred in a Netflix movie that has something in common with her upcoming project. The 2024 slasher film, directed and written by Ti West, serves as the third (and final) installment in the X movie series, after X and Pearl (the prequel to the original film). MaXXXine is described as a sequel to X and revolves around Maxine pursuing her dreams of becoming an actress in Los Angeles following her traumatic experience in the trilogy’s first installment. But life’s horrors seemingly follow Maxine everywhere she goes.
Aside from Collins, the cast of MaXXXine includes Mia Goth, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon. Of course, Goth is the franchise’s central character, so her return as Maxine in the final movie was to be expected. Meanwhile, Collins’ role is unknown, but the MaXXXine trailer suggests that the actress is playing one of Maxine’s costars in The Puritan II (a fictional flick in the 2024 slasher). More details about Collins’ character will likely arise once the premiere gets closer.
MaXXXine Is Lily Collins’ Second Movie About A Prolific Serial Killer After Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile
MaXXXine Features The Night Stalker
MaXXXine‘s trailer reveals that the movie’s horrifying twist is that Maxine is trying to break big into the entertainment industry in Los Angeles around the same time that the Night Stalker was terrorizing the city — 1985. The Night Stalker, aka Richard Ramirez, was a real-life serial killer who murdered more than 15 people in Greater Los Angeles (and the San Francisco Bay Area) between April 1984 and August 1985. Based on the teaser video, the Night Stalker is targeting Maxine in Ti West’s 2024 slasher film, meaning that MaXXXine is Lily Collins’ second project to feature an infamous murderer.
Collins starred as Liz Kendall, a single mother and the girlfriend of Ted Bundy, in the 2019 biographical true crime drama Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Bundy, played by Zac Efron in the Netflix movie, was another notorious serial killer who murdered more than 20 women and girls (likely more than 30) in the 1970s. Consequently, MaXXXine will be Collins’ second film about a well-known serial killer in the last five years, which begins a strange trend for the actress.
MaXXXine Can Rescue A Disappointing 6-Year Rotten Tomatoes Streak For Lily Collins
Lily Collins Has Only 1 Positive Rotten Tomatoes Score Since 2018
Unfortunately, Lily Collins has a six-year streak of poorly reviewed films on Rotten Tomatoes, with the exception being Mank (which isn’t a thriller, unlike most of her recent projects). Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile received negative reviews, with a 55 percent Tomatometer score and an Audience Score of 57 percent. Aside from Mank, Windall has her highest score (58 percent) in the past six years, so something has to change. MaXXXine‘s story may be what Collins needs to break her streak, given that the first two films in the X trilogy were both extremely well-received.
Note: MaXXXine , starring Lily Collins, will premiere in theaters on July 5, 2024, while Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is available to stream on Netflix.
