Overview

• Jackman confirms Charli XCX's casting for the period-fantasy adaptation and says meeting her convinced the team she was the right choice.
• The film is set to close Critics' Week at the Venice Film Festival this week, with a U.S. theatrical release scheduled for December 5.
• Adapted from Isabel Greenberg's graphic novel, the story is framed as a feminist, queer fantasy rooted in folkloric traditions.
• The ensemble includes Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin and Nicholas Galitzine, with Felicity Jones appearing as the moon and serving as narrator.
• Jackman describes a tricky fantastical black-comedy tone, as Charli's expanding screen work also includes Erupcja premiering in Toronto and the adventure-comedy Sacrifice.
