Justine Triet is swiftly moving from the courtroom drama of her previous triumphs into a psychological labyrinth that promises to redefine the boundaries of the English-language thriller. The director has built a formidable reputation through intricate character studies in acclaimed films like Sibyl and the award-winning Victoria.  

Now this upcoming venture, Fonda, signifies a bold evolution for the filmmaker as she assembles an elite international cast to explore the fragile nature of reality.    

According to Deadline, Justine Triet is officially moving forward with her first full English-language feature titled Fonda. The Paris-based organization mk2 is collaborating with StudioCanal to provide financing and co-production support. This ensures a wide theatrical release across several major international territories.

The story focuses on the intense themes of grief and obsession as they challenge the stability of a sound mind. Despite the evocative title, the story does not focus on a famous acting family but instead revolves around a central institution.

According to Deadline, this much-anticipated project has already secured a powerhouse cast, including Mia Goth and the versatile Andrew Scott. They are joined by Frank Dillane and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, while the esteemed Allison Janney is currently in negotiations for a significant role.

This high-profile production reunites the director with her successful creative team from the global sensation Anatomy of a Fall. The narrative of Fonda is described as a psychological thriller that takes place within a deceptive and seemingly perfect confined setting.
