Rosario Dawson has officially signed on for the leading role in the new supernatural thriller titled, Unmerciful Good Fortune. The film is based on the stage play of the same name.
“A high-end celebrity attorney gets pulled into a headline-making case involving Fatima, a cunning young waitress who is accused of serial poisoning and murdering 28 people,” reads the film’s initial synopsis. “Fatima’s defense takes a darkly mysterious turn when she claims to have the psychic ability to see how someone will die when she touches them and reveals she is killing people to prevent a “fate worse than death.”
“Unmerciful Good Fortune is one of those truly rare projects that grabs you out of the gate and just doesn’t let go. It’s smart, scary, original and heartbreaking,” Dawson said in a statement. “From the drop, it struck me and I knew I had to come onboard to produce it as well because I simply couldn’t risk it never seeing the light of day because it—it’s not that it doesn’t fit into a box—it simply defies boxes.”
Dawson will also serve as a producer.
