Overview

  • Madison is in negotiations to replace Sydney Sweeney after Sweeney exited due to scheduling conflicts with Euphoria and a Gundam adaptation
  • The reimagining casts Madison in dual roles as twin sisters—one sheltered with nobles in a mad prince’s castle and the other surviving among plague-stricken peasants before infiltrating the aristocracy
  • Charlie Polinger, who wrote the screenplay, will direct the adaptation following his feature debut with The Plague earlier this year
  • A24 will handle worldwide distribution while Picturestart provides production backing for the dark, provocative film
  • Principal photography is expected to begin late 2025 or early 2026
