Internationally, MaXXXine will follow a staggered release schedule, with Spain being the last confirmed country to premiere the film on August 23, 2024, as per a report by Collider.

The anticipation for MaXXXine has been building since A24 released the first official trailer in April 2024.

The trailer hints at Maxine's journey through Hollywood's audition circuit and her encounters on movie sets, blending glamour with the ever-present danger of the Night Stalker.

A second trailer, released by A24 in June 2024, explores Maxine's early days in the film industry. It showcases her red carpet moments and acting roles, but also teases the looming threat of her past catching up with her. A local newspaper clipping from rural Texas reaches John Labat, who ominously warns Maxine about the hidden dangers in show business.

FAQs

Is MaXXXine a sequel to Pearl?
Yes and no. While "Pearl" served as a prequel to Ti West's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-esque "X," detailing the origins of the main villain, "MaXXXine" is a direct sequel to "X." It follows the final girl, Maxine Minx, as she navigates life after the massacre.

Is MaXXXine based on a true story?
Although "MaXXXine" isn't based on a true story, Mia Goth told Total Film that incorporating elements of Richard Ramirez's case helped ground the film. “It sets out a breadcrumb trail back to reality,” the actress and producer explained. “It's not just a big, sweeping horror movie purely for entertainment value.”
