Lena Headey (Dredd, “Game of Thrones,” Gunpowder Milkshake) is stepping behind the camera for her next movie, with Deadline announcing an upcoming thriller titled Violet.
Billed as a psychological thriller, Headey will be directing Violet for Goldfinch Entertainment. Headey’s feature directorial debut is based on the novel written by SJI Holliday.
“The story follows two solo female travelers who immediately hit it off and decide to team up for the next leg of their adventure. As the journey continues things start to unravel – because neither of the women are who they claim to be.”
Deadline reports, “Producers describe it to us as having elements of The Talented Mr. Ripley and Single White Female, while publishers have also compared it to Killing Eve.”
Gareth Pritchard wrote the script for Lena Headey’s Violet.
Headey said in a statement, “Violet is a compulsive page turner that stayed with me long after I finished the book – it’s exciting that my first feature as a director will be such an intense female thriller. It’s a wild ride to the finish with vast cinematic scope, centering around two very complex women who will completely unravel over the course of the film.”
