The trailer for Charli XCX’s A24 Brat-era mockumentary film The Moment has dropped – here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming film.
Directed by Aidan Zamiri and co-written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes, the film is labelled “an original idea” from the “Von Dutch” hitmaker. The satirical film chronicles a pop star (a fictionalised version of Charli) preparing for her first headline tour.
The first trailer for The Moment dropped on Thursday (11 December), giving us a hint at what to expect. The film is sure to be a buzzy hit with the artists’ satirical self-reflection that also offers a new side to Charli.
“Don’t you just think the whole, like, ‘Keep having a Brat Summer!’ thing is a bit cringe?” Charli jokes in the trailer’s opening beats. She’s also seen wearing a ‘Protect the Dolls’ t-shirt as she models, asking: “Is it hot?”
Other standout moments include fans being thrust with Brat merch and Pillion’s Alexander Skarsgård stars as Charli’s eccentric tour director.
The film also stars Pulp Fiction’s Rosanna Arquette, comedian Kate Berlant, and Fleabag’s Jamie Demetriou. Atropia’s Hailey Gates, I Love LA’s Rachel Sennott and West Side Story’s Isaac Powell also feature.
A. G. Cook stars in the film and wrote the music, having produced several Charli XCX tracks.
Is Kylie Jenner in Charli XCX’s The Moment?
After the trailer dropped, many fans were surprised to see The Kardashians’ Kylie Jenner appear in an acting role.
Jenner seems to be walking in her sister’s footsteps after Kim Kardashian starred in Ryan Murphy‘s poorly reviewed legal drama All’s Fair.
“The second people are getting sick of you, that’s when you need to go even harder,” Jenner is captured saying in the trailer.
Ahead of the trailer, Jenner had revealed on her sister Khloe Kardashian’s podcast that she was “afraid” of acting.
“I think I used to do a lot more things out of my comfort zone, and now I’m used to being very sheltered, staying in like a, you know, safe box for me,” she explained.
“I was very scared to do this and very proud of myself when I did it.”
What’s the release date of Charli XCX’s The Moment?
The Moment is set to have its world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
The film is then scheduled to be released in the US by A24 on January 30. However, a UK release date is yet to be announced.
What other movies is Charli XCX in?
In addition to The Moment, Charli is jumping headfirst into her film career with several acting roles.
Charli is one of the stars in the historical fantasy romance 100 Nights A Hero. She stars opposite Black Mirror’s Emma Corrin and Bottoms’ Nicholas Galitzine as the character Rosa. 100 Nights A Hero is out in the UK on February 6.
She’s not slowing down with her acting career as the new year comes around. Charli is starring in the much-anticipated thriller I Want Your Sex from writer-director Gregg Araki.
She is also slated in Cathy Yan’s upcoming dark comedy thriller The Gallerist, opposite May December’s Natalie Portman.
Finally, she is in Daniel Goldhaber’s horror film Faces of Death, a modern remake of the 1978 film of the same name.
Furthermore, alongside acting, Charli has soundtracked a number of upcoming films.
For Wuthering Heights, starring Barbie’s Margot Robbie and Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi, Charli has composed original songs. The first of which, “Chains of Love”, has already been released.
She has also written and produced original music for Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, with Jack Antonoff and FKA Twigs.
