'House of the Dragon' actor Sonoya Mizuno dons director hat for 'Stages'

Los Angeles [US], December 2 : Actor Sonoyo Mizuno, who has featured in projects such as 'Crazy Rich Asians' and 'House of the Dragon', is all set to don the director's hat with a project titled 'Stages', backed by Film4 and A24.
Details regarding the film's story have not been disclosed yet.
Mizuno trained at the Royal Ballet School in London. She then danced in several ballet companies, including the English National Ballet, Dresden Semper Oper Ballet, and Scottish Ballet, as per Deadline.
Sonoya made her screen acting debut in Alex Garland's Ex Machina. She was also seen in La La Land, and Shortcomings. Her television credits include the lead role in Devs, as well as Maniac.
Stages will be produced by Peter Rice, and Agile Films' Myles Payne and Sam Ritzenberg, alongside Alex Garland, with whom Mizuno has had a long on-screen collaboration.
Speaking with Deadline about working with Garland on Devs in 2020, Mizuno said: "He's always open to people giving their ideas, he takes them on, and it feels like a very equal place."
"I'd say for me, a lot of the collaboration would be between me, Alex, and Rob Hardy, the DP, because this was the third thing we were doing together, the three of us. By this point, we'd developed this working relationship, which had always felt collaborative and also unique to the three of us."
