Charli XCX, known for her genre-defying pop hits and bold persona, is now making waves in the film industry. The singer is set to star in and produce The Moment, an upcoming project with indie powerhouse A24.

Adding another layer of excitement, Charli’s longtime music collaborator, AG Cook, will compose the film’s score, ensuring her signature sound resonates throughout the movie.
While details about the plot remain under wraps, fans are already buzzing about what The Moment could bring to the table. On social media, many expressed their excitement, with one fan tweeting, “This is Charli’s Oscar era!” Others hailed her for juggling a growing list of Hollywood projects, including her roles in the Faces of Death remake, Sacrifice, and Erupcja.
Produced by David Hinojosa under the 2AM banner, with A24 handling global distribution, The Moment is set to be another daring addition to the studio’s groundbreaking catalog. Fans believe it has all the makings of a standout film, thanks to its unique premise and Charli’s undeniable charisma.
