Léa Seydoux Joins A24’s Dark Reimagining of The Masque of the Red Death
French actress Léa Seydoux has joined Mikey Madison in A24’s revisionist take on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death, directed by Charlie Polinger. Madison is reported to play twin sisters in a tale where a mad prince hosts the noble class in a castle as a plague ravages the peasantry, with a long-lost twin from the lower class entering the decadent world leading to revenge and decapitations. The project, produced for Picturestart by Julia Hammer and Erik Feig (with James Presson and Lucy McKendrick) and distributed by A24, is set to shoot in Hungary beginning in February.
