Jake Gyllenhaal is set to reunite with filmmaker Denis Villeneuve for The Son.
Jake Gyllenhaal
The Son is a big screen adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel by Joe Nesbo. This is the latest Nesbo book to get the big screen treatment and follows in the footsteps of Headhunters and The Snowman in recent years.
The Son will be the third collaboration between the director and actor and comes after success with Prisoners and Enemy.
For me, Prisoners was one of the best movies of 2013 and I am excited to see this duo team up once again. I cannot wait to see what they deliver with this new thriller.
The Son follows a drug addict who break out of prison and sets out on a mission of revenge after discovering the truth behind his father's suicide.
As well as being on the cast list, it looks like Gyllenhaal will also serve as producer on the upcoming film.
Sicario was the last time that we saw Villeneuve in the director's chair but he has already completed work on Story of Your Life, which stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker.
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the most in demand actors around and Demolition was the last big screen outing for the Oscar-nominated star.
But we are going to be seeing plenty of him going forward as he has already completed work on Nocturnal Animals and Stronger.
He is currently working on Okja, which sees Joon-ho Bong in the director's chair and on writing duties. The sci-fi/drama sees Lily Collins, Tilda Swinton and Paul Dano also on the cast list.
The movie will see Gyllenhaal reunite with Dano, with whom he worked with on Prisoners.
