James McAvoy delivers an entirely improvised performance in first trailer for thriller My Son
Get ready for a "groundbreaki🍬ng filmmaking experience"
Get ready for a performance like no other. James McAvoy stars in thriller My Son, but there’s a catch: the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:X-Men: First Class actor wasn’t given a script.
That’s not a mistake on the studio’s part. In what’s described as a "groundbreaking filmmaking experience," his entire performance is improvised from start to finish. We can even catch a glimpse 💯of what that looks like – the trailer for My Son has just been released.
McAvoy plays Edmond, the father of a seven-year-old boy who has gone missing. He reconnects with his ex-wife (played by Claire F🌟oy) in search of answers, though his mysterious past looks set to catch up to him.
So far, s𝐆o ordinary – but it’s McAvoy’s reactions dotted throughouꦺt the trailer that will have you intrigued.
According to , McAvoy is aware of the "basic aspects" of the story, and must drag Edmond from A to B. Is he hidi💮ng something? Will he uncover t☂he truth? As the conspiracy grows, it all adds up to a tantalizing prospect for both actor and audience member. It can’t hurt that, especially given those gorgeous coastline shots, we’re getting some serious Broadchurch vibes from My Son too.
"I’ve managed to have an experience that no actor gets to have," McAvoy said. "I hope we’ll give the audience sಌomething really tangible that they can h🍌ang on as this thriller rattles along."
No word yet on a UK release, but it’s out Stateside on streaming service Peacock from September 15. For more from cinemas and streaming, here’s our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
