Last year, we learned pop star Charli XCX would headline and produce a new horror flick from Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike<\/a>. What first sounded like an odd team-up<\/a> is now\u2026 well, still odd, but it sounds like it\u2019s got the potential to be fun as hell when it comes out.<\/p>\n

Per Deadline<\/a>, the film\u2019s officially dubbed Untitled Tokyo\u00a0and sees XCX \u201cpossessed by a violent, tortured spirit.\u201d She\u2019ll play Katie, one of three best friends who\u2019ve reunited in Japan after years apart. Unfortunately, their girls\u2019 trip takes a turn when a spirit takes her over and hell breaks loose. Production for Untitled will begin in March, and now we know who else is joining the cast alongside Charli:\u00a0Supergirl\u00a0star Milly Alcock,\u00a0Walking Dead\u2019s\u00a0Norman Reedus, and Show Kasamatsu (Tokyo Vice). Actress-model-singer Kiko Mizuhara (Attack on Titan) will play the spirit at the heart of it all.<\/p>\n

Untitled Tokyo\u00a0marks the latest acting turn for Charli XCX, who featured in last year\u2019s\u00a0100 Nights of Hero\u00a0and in this year\u2019s\u00a0The Moment\u00a0(which she also wrote and produced) and The Gallerist. This also isn\u2019t her first time with horror, as she\u2019ll be in the\u00a0Faces of Death\u00a0remake arriving in April. We\u2019ll have more about Untitled Tokyo\u00a0as news emerges.<\/p>\n
