FKA Twigs, Sturgill Simpson to Star in New Thriller ‘The Lonely Woman’

FKA Twigs, Sturgill Simpson, and others will star in The Lonely Woman, an upcoming thriller written and directed by electronic duo Boy Harsher.

Set in rural New England, The Lonely Woman follows a woman whose first love died in a mountain tunnel, and becomes engrossed in a new disappearance. It also stars Chloë Sevigny, singer-songwriter Bonnie “Prince” Billy (Will Oldham), and others.

The Lonely Woman will mark Boy Harsher’s first feature film, which they’ll also supply the soundtrack for. The duo — Augustus Muller and Jae Matthews — first directed the 2022 short The Runner. The film recently completed principal photography in Upstate New York, and is expecting to be released next year.

FKA Twigs is also slated to star in Lotfy Nathan’s upcoming biblical horror film The Carpenter’s Son, alongside Nicolas Cage. She’s also featured in David Lowery’s Mother Mary, which also stars Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, with music by Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff. According to Variety, she’s also in talks to star in a Josephine Baker biopic.

Earlier this year, Twigs released both Eusexua and Eusexua Afterglow. She was recently named one of Rolling Stone‘s Voices of the Year, and participated in the Rolling Stone Interview. “When I think about Eusexua, it’s just about being able to be, and accepting yourself, and accepting other people,” she told us. “We’re just like these beautiful lights. I always talk about the light inside my chest. That’s me. I’m not FKA Twigs, or I’m not even Tahlia. I’m a tiny light inside my chest, which is just filled with endless love and possibilities.”
