Actor Laurel Marsden is joining the cast of The Fisherwoman as a teenager who gets kidnapped. Starring Judy Greer and Emma Thompson in lead roles, The Fisherwoman is an actioner that Brian Kirk directs based on a script by Dalton Leeb and Nicholas Jacobson-Larson. It is about how Thompson's fisherwoman character interrupts the teenager's kidnapping while dealing with a blizzard and realises that her hopes of a future lie only in her hands. The film also stars Marc Menchaca along with Marsden's daughter Gaia Wise.

Stampede Ventures and Augenschein Filmproduktion are producing the film, which will also have a release in the German-speaking population of Europe. Meanwhile, North.five.six. is not only co-representing the film's domestic rights with Augenschein and CAA Media Finance but also handling its international sales. Thompson is also executive producing the film after her critically acclaimed performance in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.

Production is underway in locations such as Finland's Koli and Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia.

Marsden's breakthrough role came in the series Ms. Marvel on Disney+, and her most popular appearance in a feature-length film was in the recent Russell Crowe-starrer The Pope’s Exorcist.
