First look at Wednesday's Christina Ricci in new movie

The Addams Family's Wednesday turned Wednesday's Marilyn Thornhill, Christina Ricci, has bagged herself a big role in upcoming science-fiction action film Dresden Sun.

The film follows a "principled" mercenary with a traumatic past played by The Walking Dead and Grand Theft Auto V's Steven Ogg, reports Deadline. Said merc teams up with an industry to steal something called "the sphere" from a big corporation called Peredor and Ricci's Dr Dresden.

A first-look image of Ricci in the role has been released by VMI Worldwide, who is taking the film to the European Film Market to find distributors.

"The Dresden Sun is a whole other world of sci-fi with stylised and sleek action elements with an overall unique concept," VMI's Jessica Bennett said. "We at VMI are very excited to bring this one to market, the stellar cast and level of filmmaking will bring the wow factor."

Writer and director Michael Ryan added that: "The Dresden Sun is an allegorical story that deals with ideas and concepts ranging from corporatocracy, interdimensional reality, grief, arrested development, and apostasy. We at Archetype Pictures appreciate working with VMI and their passionate team and are looking forward to their abilities to help deliver the film to the world."

Wednesday streams on Netflix – season 2 has been confirmed.
