First Trailer and Poster for X Prequel PEARL
First look at Ti West's prequel to his recent horror movie.

Director Ti West's 1970s set thriller X saw Mia Goth play the dual roles of young porn star Maxine and the elderly antagonist Pearl. Goth returns to the latter role for West's prequel Pearl, which explores the character's youthful escapades in rural Texas.

Along with Goth, who co-wrote the movie with West, Pearl stars David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland and Emma Jenkins-Purro.

Following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Pearl will open in US cinemas on September 16th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.

Check out the first trailer and poster below.




The official synopsis reads:

Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X in this astonishing follow-up to the year’s most acclaimed horror film. Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies. Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.
