Having followed up unexpected 2024 festive banger Carry-On with domestic chiller _The Woman In The_Yard last year, perpetually booked and busy filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra is heading back to Netflix with a buzzy new thriller — and he’s bringing out the big guns for it. Per Deadline‘s reporting, The Running Man‘s Colman Domingo is hotfooting his way to Collet-Serra’s An Innocent Girl, in which he’ll star alongside Wake Up Dead Man‘s Kerry Washington.
Rocking a script that’s passed through the typewriters (or MacBooks, probably) of Michael Mohan (Immaculate), Marc Guggenheim (Carnival Row) and, most recently, Carly Wray (Mad Men), An Innocent Girl‘s thrills are of the psychological persuasion. Per a description shared by Deadline, the movie follows the story of “a young and ambitious woman seduced by a high-powered D.C. couple who draw her into a dangerous world of sex, power and murder.” Given the fact that The Fabelmans‘ Chloe East is also listed among An Innocent Girl‘s cast, it would seem fairly safe to assume Washington and Domingo will be Collet-Serra’s high-power couple, leaving East in the titular role. Given Collet-Serra’s past works — House Of Wax, Orphan, Goal II: Living The Dream — however, we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more than a couple of twists in the tale.
We’ve no word as of yet on when An Innocent Girl is set to start shooting or indeed when it’ll make its way onto Netflix, but fear not for there is plenty of Jaume Collet-Serra heading our way in the meantime. The prolific Spaniard’s got his Cliffhanger remake heading our way on 28 August, WWII-set thriller Play Dead (currently in post-production), and he’s gearing up to shoot a Run All Night sequel, too. Honestly, we’re knackered just thinking about it!
