'Anyone But You' Actress Mia Artemis And 'Kill Jackie's Hattie Hook Set For Wildfire Thriller

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire / -- **EXCLUSIVE:** Celebrated Australian actresses Mia Artemis ('Anyone But You', 'Sweet Tooth') and Hattie Hook (Kill Jackie, Ten Pound Poms) have joined the cast of the upcoming independent psychological thriller 'The Shot.'

Set against the backdrop of the devastating California wildfires, the film follows a couple who flee the encroaching flames and seek refuge somewhere that may be more dangerous than what they were fleeing.

The project hails from the esteemed Zachary Writes ('In the Name of the Mother') in association with IAE. Film Independent will likely board soon.

Artemis, a celebrated talent in Australian film and television, has built an impressive international résumé spanning studio features, prestige television and independent cinema. Her credits include Sony Pictures' box-office hit 'Anyone But You', starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, alongside appearances in Netflix's 'Sweet Tooth' and 'Pieces of Her'. She notably received gushing acclaim for her leading role in the independent feature 'The Longest Weekend' and also appeared in Stan's psychological drama 'Exposure'. Her recent credits include the Australian series 'Run' and the dystopian feature 'Cooee'.

Hook, meanwhile, can currently be seen opposite Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones in the action-thriller series 'Kill Jackie*' portraying Charlie in the international production. She is also known for her role as Pattie Roberts across two seasons of the BBC and Stan period drama 'Ten Pound Poms', as well as a celebrated turn in the acclaimed feature 'Of an Age', directed by Goran Stolevski. Her additional television credits include 'Savage River' and Justin Kurzel's 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North.'

Further casting and production announcements are expected to follow.
