Deadline reports that Kiefer Sutherland, Kiernan Shipka, and Krysten Ritter have been tapped to lead the revenge thriller Stone Cold Fox. Shipka will be playing the titular character while Sutherland and Ritter are portraying the film’s main antagonists. It’s being described as an 80’s revenge story and will also star Jamie Chung, Karen Fukuhara, and Lorenza Izzo.
“The film follows a defiant Fox (Shipka), who 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,” reads the synopsis.
It’ll be directed by Sophie Tabet, who released a statement about the film in which she said; “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, 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.”
