X is another horror film from West, and stars other notable actors like Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega and Brittany Snow.
The film will be released on March 18, 2022, and tis trailer came out today (Jan. 12). The two-and-a-half minute trailer depicts a friend group in the late 1970s that wants to pursue acting. They soon develop an adult film project, and move to a remote home location to film. However, things go awry when their creepy host goes rogue.
X will be released through A24, which has been responsible for many recent successful horror films such as Ari Aster's "Hereditary" and "Midsommar." Kid Cudi's production studio Mad Solar, founded by Cudi in November 2020, also aided in the execution and distribution of the film.
