According to Deadline, Frank Dillane (Urchin) and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Candyman) have also been tapped to join the cast of Fonda. In addition, Academy Award winner Allison Janney (The Diplomat) is currently in negotiations to play a key role in the movie. Production is expected to begin in the spring.

We cannot wait to bring this film to audiences across our territories announced today. 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.”
