Julia Roth‘s directorial debut, Stone Cold Fox will star Kiernan Shipka (Totally Killer, “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Kiefer Sutherland (“24,” Flatliners) and Krysten Ritter (“Jessica Jones,” Nightbooks) according to Deadline.

The film is written by Sophie Tabet and also stars Lorenza Izzo (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Knock Knock), Jamie Chung (“Lovecraft Country“) and Karen Fukuhara (“The Boys“).

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.”

“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.
