History Film / MaXXXine

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: To reflect the six-year TimeSkip from ''Film/{{X}}'' and her new California home, Maxine has swapped out her loosely-curled brunette hair for [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde]] [[QuirkyCurls curls.]]

* {{Pastiche}}: While ''Film/{{X}}'' pastiched the grindhouse [[SlasherMovie slashers]] and horror movies of the 1970s, this movie is apparently going to be a pastiche of {{Giallo}} films and 1980s slashers that were heavily inspired by them, especially the works of Creator/BrianDePalma.

* StarMakingRole: InUniverse, Elizabeth tells Maxine that this is "the defining role of her career."

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The trailer shows that the movie is set against the backdrop of the Night Stalker killings and implies that the Night Stalker himself, Richard Ramirez, will be an antagonist.

The trailer is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0uS3t6nFgY here.]] It is set to be released in the U.S. on July 5th, 2024.

->'''Elizabeth:''' This is the defining role of your career. Whatever is going on in your life, that's interfering with this picture, squash it.\\
