Noomi Rapace will star in Australian psychological thriller Angel of Mine, to be directed by Kim Farrant. Fortitude International will begin pre-selling the film at the European Film Market in Berlin later this month, reports variety.com.

The movie is a Melbourne-set remake of 2008 French film "L'Empreinte de L'Ange". It charts a woman's brush with madness after she loses her daughter and becomes convinced that another woman's child is in fact her own. Farrant, whose first film was the Nicole Kidman-starring "Strangerland" in 2015, will direct from a script by Luke Davies and David Regal. Production is scheduled to begin in April this year.

"What I love about this beautiful script (apart from the insanely brilliant Noomi) is that it's about intuition. We all know what it's like to know something deep in our bones and yet fall into the trap of doubting ourselves, and that questioning can drive us crazy," said Farrant.
