Carrie Coon and Lily James Join Bella Ramsey in Guy Nattiv's Cult Thriller ‘Harmonia' for Bleecker Street
Carrie Coon has found her next project post-'The White Lotus.' The acclaimed actress, who also recently starred in 'His Three Daughters' and soon returns for 'The Gilded Age' Season 3, has joined Guy Nattiv's cult thriller 'Harmonia' alongside Lily James.
Nattiv reunites with Bleecker Street after the company distributed his 2023 film 'Golda.' Bleecker Street acquired the U.S. rights to 'Harmonia' and plans to release the film in theaters nationwide in 2026.

As previously announced, 'Harmonia' will also star Bella Ramsey and 'My First Film' breakout star Odessa Young. Nattiv co-wrote 'Harmonia' with Noa Berman-Herzberg; the film is inspired by Nattiv's family's real-life story. Production is set to begin this summer.
The official synopsis reads: 'Set in the 1980s, the film is based on Nattiv's grandmother's experience with an insidious cult. Rita (Coon), unraveling from past wounds, meets a radiant young spiritual leader (James) after a chance encounter. Following her into the all-female commune known as Harmonia, Rita leaves her life and family behind until her daughters, Ella (Ramsey), and Jo (Young), embark on a dangerous journey to rescue their mother. Once immersed in the commune, they find themselves inexorably drawn into the leader's labyrinthine web of pseudo-spiritual and psychological manipulation.'
Nattiv, whose 2023 film 'Tatami' also recently received distribution from XYZ Films, said in a press statement, ''Harmonia' is born from the true story of my grandmother — a woman whose quiet strength and unspoken pain left an indelible mark on our family. For years, her story lived in the shadows, and now, at last, I'm giving it voice. I couldn't ask for more soulful collaborators than Carrie, Lily, Bella, and Odessa. Each of them brings a deep, intuitive grace to these layered characters, and their commitment to tell my story is tremendously moving.'
Julia Lebedev and Eddie Vaisman produce the film for Sight Unseen, with Jaime Ray Newman and Nattiv producing for New Native Pictures, along with Oren Moverman. Leonid Lebedev will serve as an executive producer.
Embankment Films represents international rights. CAA Media Finance and Range Select brokered the deal with Miranda King, Kent Sanderson, and Avy Eschenasy of Bleecker Street, while CAA and Range Media Partners represent the filmmakers.
Coon is represented by United Talent Agency, Foundation Talent Management, and attorney Peikoff Mahan. James is repped by UTA, Tavistock Wood, Sloane Weber Offer Dern, and Narrative PR.
Bleecker Street additionally recently acquired 'Bone Lake,' set to release in October, as well as the re-release of the 1984 cult classic 'This Is Spinal Tap' and its upcoming sequel, 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,' both directed by Rob Reiner. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprise their iconic roles for the sequel, which also brings real-life rockers Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Questlove into the mix.
Other 2025 Bleecker Street releases include 'Relay,' starring Riz Ahmed, 'Harmonia' star James, and Sam Worthington; the feature will be released on August 22 after its U.S. premiere at Tribeca this year. Max Walker-Silverman's 'Rebuilding,' starring Josh O'Connor, will also be in theaters after its Sundance premiere. Walker-Silverman previously helmed 'A Love Song' for Bleecker Street, too.
