LD Entertainment and Original Headquarters have announced that Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Black Mirror) is set to headline Fast Color, a thriller from writer-director Julia Hart (Miss Stevens).
The film tells the story a woman named Ruth (Mbatha-Raw) who is forced to go on the run when her superhuman abilities are discovered. Now, years after having abandoned her family, the only place she has left to hide is home.
“This is exactly the kind of movie I want to see in the theater – three generations of strong women finding their power,” said producer Mickey Liddell of LD Entertainment. “Gugu and Julia are extraordinary talents and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them both on this special project.”
Mbatha-Raw will next be seen in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, where she is playing Plumette, and also has God Particle (a.k.a. the new Cloverfield movie) and A Wrinkle in Time on her upcoming slate.
