Trailer For James McAvoy and Claire Foy's Mystery Thriller MY SON
Peacock has acquired the distribution rights to STXfilms’ mystery thriller drama titled My Son, and they’ve released the first trailer for it. The film is a remake of the acclaimed 2017 French film of the same name and the director of that original film, Christian Carion, came back to direct the English-language remake.
The movie stars James McAvoy and Claire Foy, and the story follows a desperate father who is trying to find his son who’s been kidnapped. It’s been explained that McAvoy improvising all of his scenes in the movie. He wasn’t given a script or any dialogue to read, he was only given the basic aspects of his story, so he had to improvise and react to each moment as it unfolded while they were shooting. However, the rest of the cast knew what was going on.
In the film, “Driving in the heart of the Highlands, Edmond Murray (McAvoy) receives a call from his ex-wife (Foy), in tears. Their 7-year-old son went missing from a campsite. Soon it becomes clear that the child was kidnapped and the parents give way to despair.”
I’m really curious about this movie because of the way it was filmed. It definitely looks like an intense thriller and it will be available to watch on Peacock Wednesday, September 15th.
