    Charli XCX wants to make a 'Final Destination' movie featuring "It girls"

    The 32-year-old pop star is a huge fan of the horror franchise - which focuses on people who cheat death before their destiny catches up with them - and she's been rewatching the the first five movies before heading to the cinema to see the sixth installment 'Final Destination Bloodlines' - and it's given Charli an idea for her own 'Final Destination' film

    4 June 2025
    In a post on TikTok, she explained: "I'm rewatching all of the 'Final Destination' movies, in preparation to see 'Final Destination Bloodlines', which I'm really excited to see.

    "The reason I love these movies is that they really just are about hot people getting killed. You know, there's no moral backbone to the story, it really is just, 'they're hot, they're cursed and they deserve to die."

    Charli went on to add: "I was thinking, well, shouldn't there be a sort of It Girl version of this franchise. You know like, a 'Final Destination' with It girls.

    "Kind of like, Rachel Sennott, Alex Consani, Gabbriette, Romy Mars, Me, Quenlin Blackwell, Devon Lee Carlson ... maybe there's like a Scream Queen in there like Jenna [Ortega].

    "Maybe there's an OG Scream Queen like Sissy Spacek. And then it's also directed by like a horror auteur."

    She went on to insist her idea for the next movie would stick to the franchise's "formula".

    Charli said: "The films wouldn't have to change their formula, I think the whole point is that they play into the lore.

    "They kind of make fun of their own lore, and I don't think this one would have to be any different, like I think that's the point.

    "It's really not trying to do anything other than have hot people die in the most brutal ways and play with some unbelievable dialogue."

    Actress Rachel Sennott - who was one of Charli's top picks for her movie idea - was along those who commented on the post and she told the singer she's up for taking part.

    Rachel wrote: "Ok I'm in."

    Charli has already started dabbling in the movie business and has a number of film projects in the works including Takashi Miike's film 'Audition' which she is producing and starring in, as well as roles in 'The Moment' and 'The Gallerist'.
