Rosario Dawson to Lead Supernatural Horror Movie Unmerciful Good Fortune

Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson has signed on for the leading role in the upcoming supernatural horror thriller titled, Unmerciful Good Fortune. The film is based on the stage play of the same name written by playwright Edwin Sanchez. Dawson will take on the project’s lead role.

“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 is no stranger to the horror genre, as she previously starred in 2007’s Quentin Tarantino slasher Death Proof, 2019’s horror comedy sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, and Disney’s Haunted Mansion remake. She is currently attached to star in another horror movie — Deepest, Darkest with Ernie Hudson and Rahul Kohli. She will also reprise her titular role as Ahsoka Tano in the upcoming second season of the Star Wars series.

What is Unmerciful Good Fortune about?

“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 will be directed by Tirsa Hackshaw in her feature directorial debut. The film is produced by Dawson, Tom DeSanto, Corey Large, and Brian Kirchoff, with Jordan Wilson and Hackshaw set as executive producers.
