Pearl, a prequel to Ti West’s slasher film X, which stars one of the film’s central characters, was surreptitiously shot as West and Pearl’s leading actress Mia Goth sketched out the character’s evolution into the horror-movie villain we see in X, which premiered back in March. A24 followed up yesterday’s poster release with a new teaser for their next horror film, The Nun. You may expect the same thing from a movie based on Pearl if you’ve watched X. (Goth). The novel takes place in the early twentieth century, during Pearl’s formative years as an artist. Meanwhile, Pearl is honing her… increasingly inventive techniques for avoiding the company of undesirables.
The Pearl video makes it apparent that we can anticipate the same amount of violent visuals and brutal finishes to characters as we saw in X—except this time, it appears like most of them will happen in the light of day. That much is certain. Going back to the role of Pearl from the first slasher film allows Goth to have more fun with the character who has more vitality and can do more harm.

Coming out of quarantine, I was like: “We are already creating all of this gear, it is COVID and we are on the only spot on Earth where it is safe to create a movie.” I was shocked and amazed. Avatar 2’s entire cast and crew are on vacation. We need to produce two films. A24’s miracle was that they truly felt this was a decent idea. ” A24, a popular production company, not only embraced the idea but also doubled down on the bet: In addition to making Pearl soon after production on X concluded, A24 also greenlighted a direct sequel to X, which is presently in development. As a result, in 2022 we moved from a world without any new Ti West films to one where there are now three. It is possible that if the slasher plot follows in the footsteps of past masterpieces, we may see a new series with several more releases in the future. As of September 16, 2022, audiences may see Pearl in cinemas.
