Tobias Menzies has joined the cast of Sweetsick, the highly anticipated directorial debut from screenwriter Alice Birch (The Wonder, Normal People). The film also stars Cate Blanchett and Alien: Romulus breakout Spike Fearn.
Sweetsick follows a mercurial woman (Blanchett) with a strange and piercing gift: the ability to see what others most intimately need. As she sets out on a journey home, her attempts to heal those around her begin to take a toll, forcing her to confront an agonizing question: is she truly saving others, or simply losing herself in the process?
Birch makes her feature directorial debut with the project for Searchlight Pictures. She also penned the screenplay. The film is produced by Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell, Theo Barrowclough, Cate Blanchett, and Lee Groombridge.
Menzies is best known for his acclaimed performances in Game of Thrones, Outlander, and The Crown. He recently appeared in Joseph Kosinski’s F1 alongside Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem, and will next be seen in Apple TV’s upcoming series Prodigies, starring opposite Will Sharpe. Menzies is repped by Conway van Gelder Grant and WME (William Morris Endeavor).
The filming is currently underway.
