Lights, camera, action! Charli D’Amelio has landed her first starring role, in the horror flick Home School.
In the upcoming movie—which will serve as the first in an eight-film franchise of supernatural thrillers—the competitive dancer will play a 17-year-old named Mira who moves to a different town to live with her aunt after her mother dies. According to the movie’s synopsis, “After arriving in what seems like the all-too-perfect town, Mira discovers that her mother’s death and her own future are intertwined supernaturally.”
After she landed the game-changing lead, Charli, 17, exclusively told E! News how much this role means to her.
“Acting has actually been a goal of mine for quite some time now,” she said. “But I really wanted to take the time to look at a lot of different genres, scripts, and roles. I am a huge fan of horror and thriller movies, and as soon as I read Home School, I knew it was for me.”
Charli puts it, elements of her on-screen character felt eerily familiar. “I connected with the character, Mira, the story, the script, and the team,” she explained. “I couldn’t believe it when I actually got the part. I know it will be challenging, but it will be fun to make and to watch.”
