Denise Richards and Casper Van Dien are set to reunite on the big screen for the upcoming thriller No Free Lunch. This marks the second time the two actors have collaborated, following their roles as fictional space-war heroes Johnny Rico and Carmen Ibanez in Starship Troopers. Director Damian Lee is helming the film for production companies Horizon Line and March On Entertainment.
Richards and Van Dien will be portraying FBI agents, reminiscent of the dynamic duo from The X-Files, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. The film's plot revolves around a mother-daughter duo (Arcadia Kendal and Lara Daans) who find themselves kidnapped by a deranged ex-surgeon (Sebastian Pigott) after a college drop-off turns dangerous.
As the kidnapper plays a twisted game to woo and marry one of them, the FBI agents, led by the woman with the slenderest leads, must race against time to save them. Production on No Free Lunch took place in Hamilton, Ontario, the home base for various productions including Silent Nightfall and Greatest Actress. With its unique premise and star power, No Free Lunch promises to be a thrilling addition to the spring 2027 release calendar.
