Miranda Bailey and Natalie Whalen are producing for Cold Iron Pictures along with Sarah Winshall, Jacob Agger and Kramer.

Juliette began her film career in the late 1980s.

She feels lucky to have worked together with some of the most talented figures in the industry.

The 51-year-old star told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I really got fortunate early on. And I didn’t know this at the time because people would say after Cape Fear and I don’t know, Natural Born Killers, they’re like, ‘You’re gonna be so spoiled.’ 

‘Because I worked with these really phenomenal directors. I was like, What? It’s not just always like this?’

The couple, who got engaged on Christmas Day in 2012 while on vacation in Rio de Janeiro, welcomed their first child together named Oscar in June 2016.
