Julia Fox, the It girl who rose to fame in the Safdie Brothers’ terrifying thriller “Uncut Gems,” has joined the cast of the upcoming romantic drama “Perfect.”

She will star opposite Ashley Moore ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") and newcomer Micaela Wittman. Millicent Hailes, who has directed music videos for artists including Pussy Riot, Billie Eilish, Tinashe, Alok Vaid-Menon and Mia Khalifa, will direct the film in her feature directorial debut. Production is set to begin next month.

“Perfect” is set in a picturesque but run-down lakeside resort in the California mountains at a time when climate change has contaminated the water supply. Fox plays a wealthy pregnant woman living an escapist fantasy as she falls in love with a younger woman (Moore). Their sudden relationship is complicated by an impending birth, turbulent social events and clashing values about the uncertain future of the world.
