"Stranger Things" Star Sadie Sink to Star in Movie "O’Dessa"

"Stranger Things" star Sadie Sink is set to star in Searchlight’s post-apocalyptic musical movie "O’Dessa".

The movie is directed by Geremy Jasper and reunites producers Michael Gottwald for the Department of Motion Pictures, Noah Stahl, and Rodrigo Teixeira for RT Features as well as executive producers Jonathan Montepare, Dan Janvey, and Lourenço Sant’Anna. 

Sink is set to begin shooting this May in Croatia before the final season of "Stranger Things" Vol. 5. 

"O’Dessa" is an original rock opera about a farm girl on an epic quest to recover a cherished family heirloom. 

The journey leads her to a strange and dangerous city where she meets her one true love – but in order to save his soul, she must put the power of destiny and song to the ultimate test. 

SVP Taylor Friedman and creative executive Cornelia Burleigh will oversee the project for Searchlight Pictures, reporting to Heads of Production and Development Katie Goodson-Thomas and DanTram Nguyen.

"O’dessa" marks Jasper’s follow-up to his feature directorial debut "Patti Cake$", which earned him Directors Guild of America and Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations.

The commercial and music video director also won the Directors to Watch award at the 2017 Palm Springs Film Festival.

Sink had herself quite a 2022 on both the big and small screens, beginning with the fourth season of the global hit series "Stranger Things". 

She was last seen in A24’s "The Whale", earning another round of accolades including the Critics Choice nom for the best young star. 

Other credits include "Dear Zoe", the Emmy-winning series "The Americans", NBC’s American "Odyssey",  and the Broadway production of Annie as the titular role.
