\n\tCharli XCX<\/a> told us that in order to properly embrace \u201cBrat Summer\u201d you need to be a little chaotic and \u201ctrashy.\u201d But between dropping her Brat<\/em> album in June, then cueing up the all-star deluxe edition, Brat and it\u2019s completely different but also still brat<\/em><\/em> version (due out on Oct. 11), co-executive producing the soundtrack for the movie Mother Mary<\/em> and launching her Sweat Tour with Troy Sivan on Sept. 14, the 32-year old singer\/songwriter has been anything but messy so far this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, she\u2019s been super productive and totally focused. Case in point: did you know that Charli filmed her debut movie role in director Pete Oh\u2019s upcoming drama ERUPCJA<\/em>? According to Variety<\/a><\/em>, Charlie popped over to Poland for a few weeks in August to film her co-starring role in the drama that also features playwright\/actor Jeremy O. Harris (Slave Play<\/em>) and Lena G\u00f3ra (Imago<\/em>). The film reportedly explores the volatile relationship between two women \u2014 the title is the Polish word for \u201ceruption\u201d \u2014 G\u00f3ra and XCX (whose character is named Bethany) on the latter\u2019s visit to Warsaw.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow is it possible to film a whole movie that co-stars the singer whose whole aesthetic was copped<\/a> by Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 presidential campaign? It kind of isn\u2019t, according to director Ohs. \u201c[Charli] definitely got recognized a bunch of times,\u201d Ohs said. \u201cShe was always really sweet. She took selfies with many a Polish fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCo-star Harris said those photos are how their \u201csecret project\u201d got leaked. \u201cI had a gut feeling that our plan to keep it low key was going to be difficult,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that was affirmed the first night I went out in Poland. We were staying at the Nobu Hotel, and that\u2019s close to the queer section, so I walked over to a gay bar, and there was a sign advertising a \u2018Brat\u2019 party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHarris said when the production moved to a nightclub to film a scene it was \u201calmost impossible\u201d to get it done because of the buzz about the \u201c365\u201d singer. \u201cEvery single person in the club was like, \u2018Oh my god, Charli XCX is here to do a secret performance.\u2019 And it was like, \u2018She is, but not the one you think,’\u201d he said. \u201cWe were shooting the same week Obama put her on his playlist as well, which is hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOhs also explained how he roped the pop star into one of his signature seat-of-your-pants productions, which are shot in order and written as they go along, with dialogue often conjured the day before, or morning of, filming. Before Charli dropped Brat<\/em> in May, she bumped into Ohs and Harris \u2014 who had previously worked together on the HBO doc Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play<\/em> \u2013 at a bar in New York\u2019s Lower East Side at 3 a.m., where Harris introduced her to Ohs.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Harris described Ohs\u2019 unique filmmaking process to Charli, the director said she responded, \u201c\u2018I want to do one,’\u201d to which he replied, \u201c\u2018What are you doing in August? Want to come to Warsaw?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCharli then reportedly DM\u2019d Ohs the next day and said she was in. \u201cThe way he talked about making his films felt akin to making an album and the chance meeting also felt equivalent to the conversational and spontaneous nature of his film making,\u201d Charli emailed Variety<\/em> about working with Ohs. \u201cOur processes felt linked in some kind of way and it felt right and exciting to pursue some kind of collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThose pre-production chats also reportedly included Charli\u2019s suggestion that she play against her brash, unapologetic persona. \u201cShe was like, \u2018I think it should be completely not me. I feel like I could play super shy,\u2019\u201d Ohs said. \u201cSo we\u2019re talking like, Charli XCX is completely unrecognizable as Bethany.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOhs added that, \u201cCharli is an excellent actress. She is a performer. She understands what it\u2019s like to have a camera pointed at her. She understands how to convey things through all the different ways in which we communicate, whether it\u2019s with body language or your voice or your facial expressions. She had a scene where she cried, without being asked \u2013 she could deliver all the goods. She\u2019s a legit actress. I am proud of us for making a movie this way during Brat<\/em> summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Variety<\/em>, the film is the first in an upcoming string of big screen roles for Charli, which will also include Greg Araki\u2019s erotic thriller \u201cI Want Your Sex\u201d with Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman, a remake of 1978\u2019s documentary-style horror film Faces of Death<\/em>, as well as Julia Jackman\u2019s graphic novel adaptation 100 Nights of Hero<\/em>. She is also producing original music for the Amazon comedy series Overcompensating<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Brat<\/em> remix album due out on Friday will have reimagined tracks featuring Robyn and Yung Lean, Ariana Grande, the 1975, Troye Sivan, Addison Rae, Lorde, Tinashe, Bon Iver and Billie Eilish, among others.<\/p>\n
