Kiernan Shipka (Totally Killer, “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Kiefer Sutherland (“24,” Flatliners) and Krysten Ritter (“Jessica Jones,” Nightbooks) are set to star in Stone Cold Fox, an ’80s-set action revenge thriller per Deadline.
Written by Sophie Tabet and Julia Roth, Stone Cold Fox will mark Tabet’s directorial debut.
In the film, “the defiant Fox (Shipka) breaks out of an abusive commune in search of her family, but when the queenpin (Ritter) kidnaps her little sister and sends a crooked cop (Sutherland) after her, Fox has no choice but to infiltrate the very place she escaped.”
Lorenza Izzo (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Knock Knock), Jamie Chung (“Lovecraft Country“) and Karen Fukuhara (“The Boys“) will also star in the revenge thriller.
“Stone Cold Fox is a love letter to the American action films of the 80’s, but one that gives women, immigrants and queer characters seats at the table,” Tabet told Deadline. “I’m beyond excited to make this ass-kicking, high-octane film about the complexities of non-belonging and making your own family as a means of survival.”
The thriller will be produced by Bee-Hive’s Stephen Braun (Sacramento), The Wonder Company’s Eric B. Fleischman and Chris Abernathy (Sacramento), Jonathan Craven (The Hills Have Eyes 2) and Tabet and Roth. Studio vet Joe Roth (Anyone But You) will serve as executive producer.
Filming is due to begin this summer, so stay tuned for more on this project.
