Robert De Niro quickly followed his work on the Netflix series Zero Day by signing on to star in another Netflix project, the serial killer crime thriller The Whisper Man, coming our way from AGBO and the streaming service. One year ago, it was announced that he was being joined in the cast by The White Lotus star Michelle Monaghan and Severance star Adam Scott. Now, Netflix has unveiled the first images from the film, giving us a look at the characters played by Monaghan, Scott, and De Niro. You can check out the images at the bottom of this article.
What is The Whisper Man about?
Based on Alex North’s bestselling novel of the same name, The Whisper Man is directed by James Ashcroft from a screenplay by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer. The story centers on a widower crime writer who, after his 8-year-old son is abducted, looks to his estranged father, a retired former police detective, for help, only to discover a connection with the decades-old case of a convicted serial killer known as “The Whisper Man.”
Also in the cast:
Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass, Nickel Boys)
Owen Teague (It, You Hurt My Feelings)
Acston Luca Porto (the upcoming Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado)
Will Brill (The Eyes of My Mother, Not Fade Away)
Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Michael Disco are producing the film for AGBO. The company’s Kassee Whiting serves as an executive producer alongside Marcus Viscidi.
When the project was first announced, Russo-Otstot, AGBO’s chief creative officer, provided the following statement: “AGBO is excited to be embarking on our 6th film with our incredible partners at Netflix. The Whisper Man is a gripping thriller but at its core is a poignant and complex story of father and sons. We are grateful to have one of the finest actors of his generation, Robert De Niro, anchoring that story and with the remarkable James Ashcroft directing.” Other collaborations between Netflix and AGBO include The Gray Man, The Electric State, the Extraction films, and the Extraction TV series spin-off called Mercenary.
Ashcroft has previously directed the 2021 horror thriller Coming Home in the Dark and the John Lithgow / Geoffrey Rush horror film The Rule of Jenny Pen.
When will The Whisper Man be on Netflix?
The Whisper Man is scheduled to be released on August 28th.
