The Russo brothers (Anthony and Joe Russo) are producers on the Netflix psycho-thriller The Whisper Man, starring Robert De Niro and Adam Scott. The trailer and US key visual were released. The film is based on Alex North's best-selling novel about a crime novelist whose son is kidnapped, linked to a serial killer called The Whisper Man. It also stars Michelle Monaghan and Owen Teague. Directed by James Ashcroft from a screenplay by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer, The Whisper Man streams exclusively on Netflix from August 28.
The trailer for The Whisper Man opens with a dark night sequence, showing the killer approaching the young boy Jake. The film follows crime novelist Tom (Adam Scott) and his son as they move to a quiet town, only to find a series of disappearances echoing the crimes of the Whisper Man, a serial killer who was caught 30 years ago. Robert De Niro plays Tom's estranged father Pete, a former detective who arrested the original killer. The trailer suggests a deeper connection between Pete and the Whisper Man, implying that the killer may have returned or that a copycat is at work. The film also stars Michelle Monaghan and Owen Teague. The Whisper Man is directed by James Ashcroft from a screenplay by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer, with AGBO producing. It streams exclusively on Netflix starting August 28.
