BILL NIGHY TO LEAD
& SONS MOVIE WITH GEORGE MACKAY
It is actually a rather stellar cast: Pablo Trapero has set Bill Nighy as the lead in & SONS movie with George Mackay, Matt Smith and Noah Jupe
as his sons. Based on David Gilbert's novel it follows Andrew, a novelist best known to the world as A.N. Dyer. He wrote his first book when he was 27 and
it became an instant classic, selling 45M copies and creating a cult around its elusive author. Andrew wakes up one morning convinced that he is about to die. He knows that with his time on Earth dwindling he needs to set right the major relationships of his life and so he summons his sons to be with him.

However when his sons arrive, laden with their own problems, Andrew does not seek their forgiveness, as they expected, instead he tells them something so wild it couldn’t possibly be true. Or could it?

It sounds like a good movie to me..and here we have Bill Nighy again...my husband is a fan of Matt Smith. He loves his role as Dr. Who.
ReplyDeleteI have not watch him in Dr Who but his role in House of the Dragon gave me a very strong impression that he is a terrible actor lol
DeleteColor me intrigued as to the message given and not the apology. Might have to watch it to quell my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteShould be really interesting, Nighy always has brilliant films.
