Filmmaker Ti West (“The House of the Devil,” “The Innkeepers,” “The Sacrament”) and A24 have announced that a prequel to West’s new slasher film “X” is not only on the way, but it has also already been shot.
Filmed in New Zealand but set in Texas, “X” follows a 1970s film crew planning to shoot an adult film at a secluded farmhouse owned by a reclusive elderly couple. As night falls, said couple’s leering interest in the shoot turns violent.
Mia Goth, Martin Henderson, Jenna Ortega, Scott Mescudi, Brittany Snow, Owen Campbell, Stephen Ure and James Gaylyn star.
“X” had its world premiere at SXSW last night ahead of a nationwide release this Friday. The theatrical release will contain exclusive prequel footage only available in cinemas.
Shot in secret also on location in New Zealand, the prequel is currently in post-production and sees Mia Goth reprising her role. The first film scored a strong crowd reaction at SXSW.
Jacob Jaffke, Harrison Kreiss and Kevin Turen produce.
