You can read a description of the film via Deadline below:
“The movie follows Nick Bannister (Jackman), a private investigator of the mind, who navigates the darkly alluring world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories. Living on the fringes of the sunken Miami coast, his life is forever changed when he takes on a new client, Mae (Rebecca Ferguson). A simple matter of lost and found becomes a dangerous obsession. As Bannister fights to find the truth about Mae’s disappearance, he uncovers a violent conspiracy, and must ultimately answer the question: how far would you go to hold on to the ones you love?”
Lisa Joy isn’t the only HBO showrunner to have an upcoming project feature Jackman. It was announced this month that the actor is signed on for Netflix’s The Overstory, a television adaptation of Richard Powers’ Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. According to a new report from Variety, Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are executive-producing the television adaptation.
“We are thrilled to welcome master storytellers David Benioff and Dan Weiss to Netflix.” Netflix CCO Ted Sarandos said in a statement when the Netflix deal was first announced. “They are a creative force and have delighted audiences worldwide with their epic storytelling. We can’t wait to see what their imaginations will bring to our members.”
