Claire Foy Has a New Movie, and It Sounds Like 'The Shape of Water' Meets 'The Lighthouse'
Claire Foy will star in The Pisces, based on a Melissa Broder novel about a PhD student and writer named Lucy who becomes erotically transfixed and obsessed with a merman (which, as we all know from Zoolander, is a combination man-sea-creature). Her desire is used as an interrogation point for issues of psychosexuality, possession, and gender studies.
Broder will co-write the screenplay alongside Gillian Robespierre, who will also direct. I loved Robespierre's films with Jenny Slate, especially Obvious Child, and it will be interesting to see her usually lighter, funnier (but still emotionally vulnerable) purview applied to a more explicitly dark piece of material. Anne Carey and Amy Nauiokas will produce the film for Archer Gray (Lost Girls), and no studio nor other cast members — including the important merman — have been announced. Will Doug Jones go for a twofer? Or will Robert Pattinson see what it's like on the other side?

The Pisces, based on a novel, will be made into a movie starring Claire Foy. And you won't believe what it's about.
