“Marty Supreme” star Odessa A’zion and fast-rising British star Ewan Mitchell have joined the star-studded cast of Oscar and Palme d’Or-winning director Justine Triet’s next feature and full English-language debut project “Fonda.”
The film also features three-time Emmy winner Cherry Jones of “The Handmaid’s Tale” fame and English actor Benedict Wong known for his performance in “Weapons” and “Doctor Strange”.
The shooting for the film will start in April.
According to the synopsis, “Fonda” is a “psychological thriller set in a seemingly idyllic huis clos,” set to take audiences “on a vertiginous dive into the shifting limits of a sound mind, as grief and obsession take hold.”
