Fonda: Justine Triet’s Thriller Adds Odessa A’zion, Ewan Mitchell, Cherry Jones & Benedict Wong To Cast

Oscar-winning French writer-director Justine Triet’s English-language psychological thriller Fonda has added new members to the ensemble cast.

Odessa A’zion, Benedict Wong, Cherry Jones and Ewan Mitchell are the new additions to the upcoming film. They have joined Mia Goth, Andrew Scott, Frank Dillane, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett.

 As per reports, the shoot is scheduled to start from April to June.

According to its synopsis, Fonda is a “psychological thriller set in a seemingly idyllic huis clos,” that promises to take the audience “on a vertiginous dive into the shifting limits of a sound mind, as grief and obsession take hold,” reported Variety.

The feature marks Triet's reunion with her Anatomy of a Fall producers Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion and MK2 Films. Delphine Tomson, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s Belgian company Les Films du Fleuve are serving as co-producer of the film. House Productions and BBC Film have also boarded as co-producers.

Mk2 Films is handling international sales, and also financing and co-producing, alongside Studiocanal’s Anna Marsh, Francois Mergier and Assia Barge. Nathanaël Karmitz, Elisha Karmitz and Fionnuala Jamison have also joined as producers.

Casting for the film is done by Cynthia Arra and Kharmel Cochrane.

Fonda marks Triet’s comeback since her Cannes Palme d’Or-winning psychological thriller Anatomy of a Fall (2023), which had a major run at the awards season. Sandra Hüller received the Best Actress Academy Award nomination. The film won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Fonda promises to be yet another project of Triet with stellar performances and a fascinating plot
