‘Stone Cold Fox’ – ’80s Revenge Thriller to Star Kiernan Shipka, Kiefer Sutherland & Krysten Ritter
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.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
