Two weeks ago, A24 unveiled a poster for director Ti West’s Pearl, a prequel to his film X (which was released earlier this year, and now you can watch it at THIS LINK). Now genre fans are reporting that they’ve seen another poster for Pearl hanging up at their local theatres, and thankfully they’ve been taking pictures of this poster to post on social media. You can see one person’s pictures of the new Pearl poster at the bottom of this article.
Pearl is scheduled to receive a theatrical release on September 16th.
X was set in 1979. Written by West and star Mia Goth, Pearl turns the clock back to 1918 to tell the following story:
Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.
Goth, who was buried under old age makeup to play Pearl in X, ditches that makeup to reprise the role in this prequel. She is joined in the cast by David Corenswet (The Politician), Matthew Sunderland (The Nightingale), Tandi Wright (Alibi), and Emma Jenkins-Purro (The Brokenwood Mysteries).
Pearl was produced by A24, Jacob Jaffke, Harrison Kreiss and Kevin Turen, with Goth, Dennis Cummings, Sam Levinson, Ashley Levinson, Karina Manashil, Scott Mescudi, and Peter Phok serving as executive producers.
I was a big fan of X, so I’m really looking forward to seeing Pearl. Are you looking forward to this movie?
