Actresses Breeda Wool and Natasha Halevi are set to lead Sander Gusinow's female-driven thriller 'Cottontail,' as reported by Variety.
According to the outlet, Wool stars as Gwynnie Vail, described as a cunning escaped convict hiding out in a remote cabin near the Idaho-Oregon border.
Per the official logline: 'When sisters Autumn (Halevi) and Summer (Leah Shannon) arrive after crossing state lines in search of abortion medication, Gwynnie entangles them in a brutal psychological game that tests loyalty, survival and control.'
'I've always wanted to inhabit a character like Gwynnie Vail - feral, untethered and operating outside society's rules. 'Cottontail' honours the slasher tradition while subverting it,' said Wool.
To Halevi, the film is 'a sharp, multifaceted exploration of survival and sisterhood in a world that isn't built for women,' according to Variety.
Wool has had a number of prior on-screen credits, including 'Mr. Mercedes,' 'National Treasure: Edge of History' and 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.' She also recently guest-starred on 'NCIS.'
Halevi has previously appeared in 'Peacemaker,' 'Superman' and 'The Buildout.' Also co-starring are Shannon ('Ouiji: A New Beginning') and Lee Arenberg ('Pirates of the Caribbean,' 'Once Upon a Time'). Arenberg will play the sisters' domineering father.
'Cottontail' is Gusinow's feature directorial debut. His script 'Big Sisters' was the 2022 Screencraft Feature Competition grand prize winner, and he holds a master's degree in playwriting and screenwriting from Columbia University, reported Variety.
'Cottontail' is produced by Mikyla Bordner, Morgan Raymond, Jason Wilkinson and Gusinow.
