James Marsden and Kerry Washington’s Edge-of-Your-Seat Thriller Lands Netflix Release Date
Netflix’s psychological thriller An Innocent Girl has wrapped filming, with James Marsden and Kerry Washington fronting a stacked cast under a Netflix-proven director—clearing the runway for its debut on the streamer.
If you thought James Marsden was taking a breather before his next outing as Cyclops or Sonic's mate, think again. The bloke's been busy on set yet again, this time teaming up with Kerry Washington for a Netflix thriller called 'An Innocent Girl'. And here’s the latest: the cast and crew have just wrapped filming, so things are finally edging closer to release.
Filming Wrapped: News From the Boat (Literally)
Kerry Washington took to social media to share the update, posting a shot of herself with Marsden and co-star Chloe East sitting together on a boat at sunset. Not a bad way to celebrate the end of filming, and, frankly, a nicer wrap photo than everyone in a freezing car park. Washington’s caption:
'And that’s a wrap on An Innocent Girl. Can’t wait to share this one with you all!'
Could easily be code for 'this shoot nearly killed us, but at least the catering was good.' But, moving on…
The Plot: Ambition, Power, and Trouble in DC
The film’s all about a young woman with plenty of ambition who gets tangled up with a powerful couple in Washington, D.C. At first it seems like an opportunity of a lifetime, but as you’d expect from a psychological thriller, things go downhill fast—think secrets, dodgy motives, someone probably ends up dead. Standard operating procedure, really.
Who's Behind This One?
This isn’t just any director at the helm. Jaume Collet-Serra, who already made a splash on Netflix with 'Carry-On' (one of the platform’s most-watched originals, if Netflix’s self-reported stats are anything to go by) is directing. You might know his work from a string of proper thrillers, and the man doesn’t exactly shy from getting a bit mad when it comes to plot twists.
Cast: A Decent Line-Up, No Doubt
- James Marsden and Kerry Washington, obviously, leading.
- Chloe East making up the main trio.
- Colman Domingo (Oscar nominee, usually terrific in just about anything).
- Kim Dickens
- Paul Sparks
- Rob Corddry
- Reina Hardesty
- Chloë Levine
- Chris Coy
It’s not just a list of names, either—several are proper scene-stealers from TV and indie film. Frankly, could be a brilliant mix if the script’s up to scratch.
Marsden’s Ongoing Netflix Love Affair
If you watched 'Dead to Me' on Netflix, you’ve already seen Marsden work his magic for the streamer—he stuck with them for three series. Since then, he’s barely stopped moving: not long ago he was in that indie, 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice', and he’s rumoured for a couple of returning franchise gigs too. Never one to let the grass grow, Marsden.
What’s Next: Release Date Still Under Wraps
So, where’s the film? Well, now that shooting’s finished, it's officially in post-production. Netflix haven’t said when they'll actually release 'An Innocent Girl', but with Jaume Collet-Serra’s name attached and a cast like this, it’s clearly one they’re planning to push hard. Watch this space.
