Marissa Bode, the disabled actress who made her feature debut as Nessarose Thropp in Wicked, has joined the cast of Snare, Variety has learned.
The psychological horror thriller is written and directed by Adam Hoelzel (Beast of Burden) and Sonja O’Hara (“Doomsday”).
O’Hara also stars as Ro, a mushroom expert who falls into a love triangle that eventually results in obsession and body horror.
Bode plays Greta Mills, Ro’s witty and ambitious mycological research partner who unwittingly becomes entangled in the violent conflict.
Greg Tarzan Davis (Top Gun: Maverick) rounds out the cast.
Bode will executive produce alongside Jeffrey Weber, Raechel Zarzynski, Calvin Roszak, Craig Coffman, Omar Sharif Jr., Anthony DiMieri, Aaron Millar and Nikki Skelly. Corey Moosa (Margin Call, Banshee Chapter) produces.
“Marissa brings a raw, lived-in honesty that fits perfectly into this world of ambition, desire, and unraveling identity,” says O’Hara. “Having her join not just as an actor but as an executive producer is an incredible gift — she’s helping shape Snare with the same fearlessness she brings to the screen.”
Backed by the Tribeca Film Festival, the film’s script was developed as part of the Tribeca Vital Stories Lab last year.
Snare is set to enter production this month in Los Angeles.
