Los Angeles, CA — April 29, 2025 — Netflix is no stranger to controversy, but its latest announcement has sent shockwaves through Hollywood.
In a bombshell reveal, the streaming giant confirmed that Mia Khalifa—former adult film star turned media personality—will headline the remake of the cult horror film 366, a project already being called “the most talked-about thriller of the decade.” The original 366 (2000), a psychological nightmare about obsession and supernatural vengeance, was infamous for its disturbing themes.
Now, Netflix is resurrecting the story with a modern twist—and Khalifa’s casting suggests they’re aiming for more than just scares. Industry insiders are calling this a “high-risk, high-reward” gamble that could redefine her career—or backfire spectacularly.
Khalifa, who has spent years distancing herself from her past, stunned fans with her reaction: “This isn’t just a role—it’s a statement. Audiences think they know me, but they have no idea what’s coming.” Her cryptic tease has only fueled speculation about the film’s direction, with rumors of a “brutal, career-defining performance” already circulating. Director James Wan (The Conjuring, Insidious) is helming the project, and his involvement hints at a truly terrifying reimagining.
“This isn’t your typical horror remake,” Wan warned. “We’re taking the original’s darkest elements and amplifying them. Mia’s character goes to places that will leave audiences speechless.” Netflix’s decision to cast Khalifa has ignited a firestorm online.
Supporters argue she deserves a chance to prove herself, while critics accuse the streamer of stunt casting. One detractor tweeted, “This is pure shock value—Netflix knows exactly what they’re doing.” Meanwhile, horror fans are buzzing over early reports of “unflinching violence and psychological torment” woven into the script.
The film’s writer, Black Mirror alum Charlie Brooker, has reportedly crafted a “mind-bending, morally twisted” update to the original story. Sources claim Khalifa’s character undergoes a “Hannibal Lecter-level descent into darkness,” raising questions about whether mainstream audiences are ready for what’s in store. Netflix’s marketing team is already leaning into the controversy.
A chilling teaser trailer, set to drop next month, is rumored to feature Khalifa in a “blood-soaked, career-redefining moment” that will dominate social media. The streamer’s Head of Original Films, Scott Stuber, teased, “This isn’t just a movie—it’s an event.
And Mia is going to shock the world.” Industry analysts are split on whether this gamble will pay off. *”If the film delivers, it could be Netflix’s next *Squid Game-level phenomenon,” said Variety’s Rebecca Sun. “But if it feels exploitative, the backlash could overshadow the project entirely.” Khalifa, no stranger to public scrutiny, seems ready for the storm.
“Let them doubt,” she recently posted on Instagram, alongside a cryptic image of a shattered mirror. *”This role was made for me.”Production begins this summer under tight secrecy, with Netflix planning a 2026 release—just in time for Halloween.
One thing is certain: whether it becomes a masterpiece or a misfire, *366* will be the horror event of the year.
Will Mia Khalifa silence her critics—or will this remake become Netflix’s most infamous flop? Stay tuned.
