My Sonis a remake of Christian Carion’s French version of the film. Carion serves as the writer and director of the English version of the film starring James McAvoy and Claire Foy. The film will follow Edmond Murrary (McAvoy) after he receives a distressing call from his ex-wife, revealing that their 7-year-old son has gone missing. For the making of this film,McAvoy was never given a scriptfor the thriller. Instead, he uncovered the mystery of the film along with movie viewers, improvising his lines and performance.
McAvoy, who stunned viewers as the many complex personalities of Dennis in the 2016 thillerSplit, will makeMy Sonan interesting film to behold. Relying on his own instincts to get through the film, McAvoy is guaranteed to deliver a performance that will generate a bit of buzz. Starring alongside Foy, who has received critical acclaim for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II inNetflix’sThe Crown, this STX production will thrill movie fanatics in more ways than one.
