Kiernan Shipka (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) are set to star in Sophie Tabet’s directorial debut Stone Cold Fox, a homage to 1980s action thrillers, per Deadline.
The synopsis for Stone Cold Fox reads “In the ’80s-set revenge story, 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.”
The film will also star Lorenza Izzo (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Jamie Chung (Lovecraft Country) and Karen Fukuhara (The Boys).
“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 said. “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 film was written by Tabet and Julie Roth and both will serve as producers. Overseeing production will be Bee-Hive and The Wonder Company. Production will begin this summer.
