Production starts today [Feb 26] in Koli, Finland, and North-Rhine Westfalia Germany. Backing also comes from Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, the DFFF, and German broadcaster ZDF.
Marsden is best known for playing Zoe Zimmer in Disney+’s Marvel series Ms. Marvel and for starring with Russell Crowe in Screen Gems horror The Pope’s Exorcist. Other credits include horror All Fun and Games opposite Asa Butterfield and Natalia Dyer and Quibi’s Survive with Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins.
