Christina Ricci Set To Star in an Action Thriller CAN'T STOP THE DAWN
Christina Ricci (The Lizzie Borden Chronicle), Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy), and David Dastmalchian (Dune) are set to star together in an upcoming indie action-thriller titled Can’t Stop the Dawn.
Ricci will take on the role of “a terminally ill single mom recruited by Hoper’s mysterious agent to assassinate Dastmalchian’s ruthless leader of a human trafficking ring for the promise of a better future for her son.”
That certainly sounds like it’ll be an intense movie! Marianna Palka is directing the film, which is based on an original concept by Dale Pople with the script written by Tony Armer. Palka said in a statement:
“I am so passionate about ‘Can’t Stop the Dawn.’ The story grips me, life is unpredictable and this film hauls this truth out and examines it in a way no film ever has before. I’m excited to be making an intersectionally feminist action movie that is truly female gazed in its vision.”
I’ve always enjoyed watching Ricci in the projects she makes and this seems like a great film for her to take on.
