Kid Cudi is gearing up to showcase his acting chops in a major way. The Cleveland-born artist recently announced that he has secured the lead role in an upcoming horror film set to begin production in 2025. This will mark his third venture into the horror genre, and he couldn’t be more excited.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday (August 29), Kid Cudi shared his enthusiasm with fans: “I can’t wait to film this new flick I’m doing next year. It’s my 3rd horror movie, and I’m the lead. It’s a pretty intense ride, and I’m ready to show y’all what I’m truly capable of. This whole time I’ve been studying as an actor waiting for this one moment. If you love horror movies, you will love this.”
Recent Success and Collaborations
This announcement comes on the heels of the release of Cudi’s latest film, “Trap,” a thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan. In “Trap,” Cudi stars alongside his longtime friend Josh Hartnett, who also produced the iconic “Pursuit of Happiness” music video. The film, which follows a father and daughter caught in a sinister event at a pop concert, has been well-received by audiences.
Cudi’s excitement for “Trap” was evident earlier this year when he posted about the film on social media: “TRAP written and directed by my good friend @mnight THE GOD. Releases AUGUST 9th!!! I was given the special honor to have a nice lil role in it, and I really think you’ll love it.”
