The cast is filling out for Oscar-nominated director Barnaby Thompson’s comedic revenge thriller, Pixie. Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel, Ready Player One) is starring in the film, alongside Ben Hardy (Bohemian Rhapsody), Daryl McCormack (Vikings), Colm Meaney (Con Air), Dylan Moran (Shaun of the Dead), and Alec Baldwin. The film is being written by Preston Thompson.
Deadline reports the following rundown for the movie:
The plot centers on Pixie (Cooke), who wants to avenge her mother’s death by masterminding a heist, but her plans go awry and she finds herself on the run with two young men (Hardy, McCormack) who are way out of their depth being chased across the Wild Irish countryside by gangsters. She has to pit her wits against everyone, taking on the patriarchy to claim the right to shape her own life.
This is a great cast, and a cool and interesting sounding story. I love a good revenge story, and I love the setting. I can’t wait to see more from this project. Are you interested in Pixie?
