Overview

• Speaking to Vanity Fair, Charli XCX said she declined offers to film her 2024 Brat-era tours because many musician docs rely on a triumph-over-adversity arc she rejects.
• She described the common template as portraying artists facing opposition and emerging as heroes, which she said does not reflect her career.
• Instead of a concert film, she is starring in and producing The Moment for A24, a 2026 mockumentary she calls a 2024 period piece and the realest depiction of the music industry she has seen.
• The Moment, directed by Aidan Zamiri and written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes, features a cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Rish Shah and Rosanna Arquette.
• Her comments were published one day after Disney+ announced a Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert film and a six-part docuseries set for December, a timing that some outlets noted for its comparisons.
