Ahead of its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on September 6, a brand-new trailer for 100 Nights of Hero has been revealed. The film stars Charli xcx in her feature debut alongside an ensemble that includes Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Felicity Jones, and Richard E. Grant. It is scheduled for a US theatrical release on December 5, while a U.K. release date has yet to be confirmed.
Directed by Julia Jackman (Pigs, Bonus Track), the historical fantasy is adapted from Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel, which draws inspiration from the Middle Eastern classic "One Thousand and One Nights." The story follows the turmoil that unfolds when a charismatic visitor (Galitzine) arrives at a secluded castle, disrupting the fragile balance between a neglectful husband, his naïve wife Cherry (Monroe), and her loyal maid Hero (Corrin).
The newly released teaser, available to watch below, offers a series of dramatic glimpses of the cast. Among the striking images are Galitzine bloodied and holding a stag’s severed head, while Charli is seen playing a medieval string instrument beneath a willow tree.
After appearing briefly earlier this year in the Prime Video series Overcompensating, where she also served as executive producer of the show and its soundtrack, Charli is now branching further into acting. The BRIT Award winner will appear in Erupcja, a drama she co-wrote, which is set to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 4. That same evening, another of her projects, Victim, will also premiere.
Charli will additionally feature in Sacrifice, a satirical action film from Romain Gavras that tells the story of a celebrity fundraiser interrupted by a radical activist group. While her role has not yet been disclosed, the project joins a growing list of acting ventures for the British artist. Other upcoming titles include thrillers "The Gallerist " and "I Want Your Sex, " along with "The Moment, " a mockumentary about pop stardom produced under her newly launched company, Studio365.
Earlier this summer, Charli headlined The Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival, a performance that Billboard U.K. praised as “a triumph of emotive pop hedonism and discomfiting intimacy.” Just weeks before, she marked the one-year anniversary of her sixth studio album Brat, the record that cemented her rise to worldwide mainstream recognition.
