Tessa Thompson, Ebon Moss-Bachrach And Owen Cooper Set For Psychological Thriller Foxfinder From Severance Director Aoife McArdle
Tessa Thompson, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Owen Cooper set to lead Foxfinder, a psychological thriller from director Aoife McArdle, known for her work on Severance.
The film, adapted from Dawn King’s stage play, is scheduled to begin filming this summer in Bavaria, Germany. McArdle co-wrote the screenplay alongside King, bringing the unsettling story to the screen.
Foxfinder centers on Jude and Sam, a couple grappling with loss while trying to maintain their fragile way of life. Their world is thrown into chaos when a government-appointed investigator arrives at their farm, tasked with hunting a supposed threat. As rigid rules intensify and fear takes hold, trust begins to erode, blurring the line between reality and suspicion.
The project is backed by a coalition of production companies including Film4 and the British Film Institute, with international sales set to launch at the Cannes Film Festival. U.S. distribution rights are being jointly handled by multiple partners, while global financing includes support from several European film funds.
McArdle, who made her feature debut with Kissing Candice, continues to build momentum following her directing work on Severance. With a strong cast and timely themes exploring control, fear, and societal division, Foxfinder is shaping up to be a compelling addition to the psychological thriller space.
