Halsey Interview: Her Heartwarming (and Disturbing) Story About Meeting Lily Collins on MaXXXine

Mia Goth was a certified acting force in this industry well before the X trilogy, but there’s no denying that X, Pearl and now MaXXXine have put her in the spotlight in a big way. Before the release of X, she was a scene-stealer in The Survivalist, Suspiria and Emma, just to name a few titles, but technically, all of those were supporting performances. X marked her very first time snagging a lead role in a film. A mere two years later, she’s the headliner of a whole trilogy. MaXXXine takes place after the events of X. Maxine (Goth) is the sole survivor of the farm massacre and now, in 1985, s...he’s living in Hollywood pursuing her dream of becoming a star. She’s made a name for herself in the adult film industry alongside friends, including Halsey’s Tabby, but Maxine has her sights set on the big screen. Her big break finally comes via director Elizabeth Bender (Elizabeth Debicki). Liz turned Molly Bennett (Lily Collins) into a “scream queen” via The Puritan, and now she wants to do the same, if not more, with Maxine in the sequel, The Puritan 2. With MaXXXine now in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to chat with Halsey, Debicki, Collins and writer-director-editor Ti West about the making of the film. Check out our conversation in the video above to hear all about how West collaborates with Goth, what Debicki took from playing a film director, how Halsey’s own past inspired her work as Tabby, how Collins found that perfect silent scream, and more! #halsey #interview #maxxxine #a24 #miagoth For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
