Oscar and Palme d’Or winner Justine Triet (Anatomy of a Fall) will next write and direct the psychological thriller Fonda, which will star Mia Goth (Frankenstein).

Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers), Frank Dillane (“Fear the Walking Dead”), and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Candyman 2021) also star.

Allison Janney (I, Tonya) is in talks for a key role, with additional casting still in progress.

The logline reads, “A psychological thriller set in a seemingly idyllic huis clos, Fonda takes us on a vertiginous dive into the shifting limits of a sound mind, as grief and obsession take hold.”

The project reunites Triet with Anatomy of a Fall producers Marie-Ange Luciani of Les Films de Pierre and David Thion of Les Films Pelléas, as well as mk2 Films, which is handling sales.

mk2 is joining forces with Studiocanal, which is a financing and co-producing partner and has picked up several key territories including France, Germany, Italy, Benelux, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Fonda promises to bring audiences another major cinematic moment by delving into the depths of the human mind and resurfacing as a thriller of rare intelligence and emotional force destined to be a top awards contender and box office hit,” said mk2 Managing Director Fionnuala Jamison.

“Justine Triet’s cinematic work is incomparable, and in Fonda our cast is exceptional,” added Studiocanal CEO Anna Marsh. “The moment we read the script we just knew we had to be part of what will be Justine Triet’s unforgettable and formidable return to cinema.”

Deadline first reported on the film.
