Emerging pop star Charli XCX is the latest to segue into film with her new lead role in the coming feature film I Want Your Sex. Charli XCX has introduced innovative styles in her music, with bold style and a hit record for new ideas in pop; now, she’s working her way into seismic waves in film, promised in a lead role for a film just as daring and groundbreaking as her music.
This dark romantic comedy laced with satire is to be scripted and directed by acclaimed visionary filmmaker Sara Rainmaker. I Want Your Sex is styled after various themes surrounding love, lust, and the complexities of modern intimacy. Charli XCX will play one of the protagonists trying to survive the insane world of online dating while fighting societal expectations and confronting insecurities. Fans are going crazy with eagerness to know whether her on-screen presence could match up to her on-stage dynamism as a pop star.
Indeed, the title of the movie would be talking of George Michael’s fantastic 1987 hit song. Provocative even, apparently, the film talks more about human relationships than it does about sexual relations in a relationship. Rainmaker’s vision paired with the brash nature of Charli XCX will have you believing that the film is going to bring something fresh into the air of a very traditional rom-com genre.
Charli XCX has been one of the muses directing the public through waves and waves of new and innovative music throughout much of her life. “Boom Clap” and “Vroom Vroom” are just two of the popular hits from this great girl, proof of that same energetic sound and artistic creativity that’s making headlines today. With I Want Your Sex, she’s going to be featured in her very first major acting. Everyone is eager to see the result of how she’ll convert that kind of energy and fantastic imaginative flair into cinema.
Charli XCX will also appear in the soundtrack, so a strong musical legacy will be left in the film. With no shadow of doubt, this is precisely what will make people wait for the project even longer since she has always been someone known to have done well in bringing together different forms of art.
I Want Your Sex will premiere on screens in 2025, but with Charli XCX fresh into this role, it feels like already one of those movies everyone in the future is going to be talking about.
