Original director Christian Carion is at the helm of thriller re-work My Son staring James McAvoy and Claire Foy…
Driving in the heart of the Highlands, Edmond Murray (James McAvoy) receives a call from his ex-wife (Claire 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.
McAvoy was given no script, no specific dialogue and was only aware of basic plot details for his character. The remaining cast and crew was fully aware of everything that was about to happen to him, which added to the tension. And, from the introduction he offers in the trailer, McAvoy clearly relished the working method.
My Son is available from September 15th on NBCUniversal’s free streaming service Peacock.
Watch the trailer below.
