Matt Smith as Milo in Morbius
The Big Picture Matt Smith is headlining the star-studded cast of director Pablo Trapero's English language debut. Smith will join Bill Nighy, George MacKay, and Noah Jupe in & Sons. Deadline reports that the film is set to be scripted by Oscar-winning writer-director Sarah Polley.
& Sons will be an adaptation of David Gilbert's acclaimed 2014 novel of the same name, and will be shopped to potential distributors at this month's Cannes Film Festival. It centers around Andrew, a famously reclusive novelist with a cult following who wakes up one day convinced that he is about to die. Determined to put his affairs in order, he summons his two estranged sons, Richard and Jamie.
Who Are the Stars of '& Sons'? Close Smith was an unknown when he landed the role of the Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who, a role he played for five years. He went on to star as Prince Philip on The Crown and Daemon Targaryen on House of the Dragon; the second season of the latter will premiere this summer. Nighy was an acclaimed British stage actor before breaking out as an aging rock star in Love Actually; he was nominated for Best Actor in 2022 for Living.
& Sons will be produced by Phin Glynn, Axel Kuschevatzky, and Cindy Teperman of Infinity Hill. Trapero will also produce via Matanza Cine. Stephen Kelliher and Sophie Green of Bankside Films, Kasia Neiman, Bahman Naraghi, and Paul Telegedy will executive produce. & Sons will be shopped at this month's Cannes Film Festival; no release date has yet been set. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
