Variety has word on Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern leading
The Son movie cast. Just like
The Father, the screenplay will be adapted from the stage play that Florian Zeller wrote with
Christopher Hampton, the Oscar-winning writer behind
Dangerous Liasons and
The Father, but despite the relationship implied in the titles,
The Son is not a sequel or a prequel. Here’s a synopsis from the play’s production at the West End in London:
Nicolas is going through a difficult phase after his parents’ divorce. He’s listless, skipping school, lying and thinks that moving in with his father and his new family may help. A fresh start. When he doesn’t settle there either, he decides that going back to his mother’s may be the answer. When change feels like the only way to survive, what will he do when the options begin to run out?
