Lea Seydoux has been cast alongside Mikey Madison in the upcoming film The Masque of the Red Death. The project reimagines Edgar Allan Poe's classic story and is directed by Charlie Polinger for A24.
The Masque of the Red Death marks a fresh take on Edgar Allan Poe's gothic tale, with French actress Lea Seydoux joining American performer Mikey Madison in the lead roles. Charlie Polinger, known for his work in independent cinema, is at the helm of this A24 production, which promises to blend horror elements with Poe's timeless narrative of plague and decadence.
Details on the plot remain under wraps, but the casting announcement highlights Seydoux's versatility following her roles in films like No Time to Die and The French Dispatch.
