Two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger will star in and produce the psychological thriller Phantom Son.

Phantom Son will follow “Ronnie, a young and struggling runaway taken in by Audrey (Zellweger), a lonely woman whose own son was kidnapped twenty years earlier. As Audrey becomes convinced that Ronnie actually is her long-lost son, a twisted game of cat and mouse develops to blur the line between deception and delusion.”

David Yates (Harry PotterFantastic Beasts) is attached to direct from a screenplay by Ian Scott McCullough (“The Mosquito Coast”).

Zellweger and Carmella Casinelli developed the thriller under their Big Picture Co. label.

Phantom Son is that rare discovery with promise to connect on a broad scale with the kind of rich, character-driven storytelling we love, and we’re thrilled it’s taking shape with such an extraordinary team. With David at the helm and AGC as our partner, we’re poised to deliver something really special,” said Zellweger and Casinelli in a joint statement.

THR first reported on the film.
