Summary
- Marissa Bode to star as a researcher in 'Snare' psychological thriller.
- The film features a love triangle leading to obsession and body horror.
- Bode makes history playing first queer character on screen.
Actress Marissa Bode, who originated the role of Nessarose Thropp in 'Wicked,' has been cast in the upcoming psychological thriller "Snare." Bode will portray Greta Mills, a sharp and driven research partner whose life becomes dangerously intertwined with the film's central, darker themes. The movie, helmed by directors Sonja O'Hara and Adam Hoelzel, promises a gripping narrative exploring obsession and body horror.
"Snare" centers on a mushroom expert who navigates a complex love triangle that spirals into unsettling territory. Bode's character, Greta, is integral to the unfolding conflict, bringing depth to the story. Notably, Bode, who uses a wheelchair in real life and made history with her 'Wicked' performance, will be portraying her first on-screen queer character, a significant milestone following her 2024 public declaration of her identity.
Co-written by O'Hara and Hoelzel, the script was developed at the Tribeca Vital Stories Lab. Bode will also serve as an executive producer for "Snare," alongside a notable team including Jeffrey Weber and Greg Tarzan Davis. Production is scheduled to commence this January in Los Angeles, with the film backed by the Tribeca Film Festival.
