Rachel Sennott is heading to Australia to shoot a crime movie with Chris Hemsworth.
According to Deadline, Sennott has just booked a key supporting role in Kockroach, an upcoming crime movie that begins shooting in Australia next week. It is based on William Lashner‘s 2006 novel of the same name, which itself is a reimagining of Franz Kafka’s 1915 novella The Metamorphosis.
Set in New York, Kockroach tells the story of a mysterious stranger who takes on the city’s criminal underworld, transforming himself into a larger-than-life boss in a city where power is everything.
Matt Ross directs from a screenplay by Jonathan Ames with revisions by Ross. He previously directed 28 Hotel Rooms (2012) and Captain Fantastic (2016). The rest of the cast for Kockroach includes Taron Egerton, Zazie Beetz, and Alec Baldwin.
Sennott remains a star on the rise in Hollywood. After her breakout lead role in Shiva Baby, she has starred in Bodies Bodies Bodies, Saturday Night, and Bottoms. She also co-created the new Netflix series Big Mistakes with Dan Levy and is currently leading the writers’ room on Season 2 of her HBO hit series, I Love LA, which is expected to shoot later this year.
As for Hemsworth, once Kockroach wraps filming, the actor will jump straight into Extraction 3 for Netflix. Like Kockroach, the action sequel will be filmed in Australia.
