Elizabeth Debicki was drawn to playing a director in horror film Maxxxine because it was “so different” from her starring turn as Diana, Princess of Wales in The Crown.

The horror film, set in 1980s Hollywood, is the final instalment in the Ti West-directed trilogy which features British actress Mia Goth as adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx.
