Kid Cudi is set to star in the new feature film, September 17th. Brittany Snow makes her directorial debut on September 17th, and decided to cast Cudi — real name Scott Mescudi — after working together in A24’s new horror movie X. In an interview with Variety about the forthcoming project, Snow said, “I can’t really speak to it too much, except that Scott’s doing a part in the movie, so that’s cool.”
Cudi said:“I couldn’t believe that she wanted me in it. She had told me about the movie while we were on set [for X], but she never asked me to be in it. I was like, ‘Maybe she’s waiting to see how [X] turns out.’ It’s gonna be awesome. Really great script.”
September 17th “follows a woman named Riley, who has recently been discharged from rehab and primarily faces eating and body image issues. While navigating her personal development, Riley engages in a new romance with a character named Ethan and must define the difference between new love and addiction.”
Cudi previously starred alongside Snow in A24‘s X, directed by Ti West, which centers on a group of young filmmakers creating an adult film in rural Texas, where their ancestors ultimately terrorize them for their work. His other recent film credits include his appearance in Don’t Look Up alongside Ariana Grande as well as the third film in the Bill & Ted franchise.
