Academy Award winner Ren\u00e9e Zellweger<\/strong><\/a> has signed on for the leading role in the upcoming psychological thriller movie Phantom Son<\/a><\/strong>. The project hails from British filmmaker David Yates<\/span>, who\u2019s best known for directing several Harry Potter movies.<\/p>\n This marks Zellweger\u2019s first non-comedy movie in a long while, after the 2019 biopic Judy, which won her an Oscar for Best Actress. She was most recently seen reprising her iconic role as Bridget Jones in the romantic comedy sequel Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Zellweger also recently starred in the latest season of Only Murders in the Building, in which she played the role of billionaire Camila White.<\/p>\n \u201cThe film follows Ronnie, a young runaway struggling to survive on the street, who is taken in by Audrey (Zellweger), a lonely woman whose own son was kidnapped 20 years prior,\u201d reads the initial synopsis (via Variety<\/a>). \u201cAs Audrey becomes convinced that Ronnie actually is her long-lost son, a twisted game of cat and mouse develops, blurring the line between deception and delusion.\u201d<\/p>\n Phantom Son will be directed by Yates from a screenplay by Ian Scott McCullough. In addition to leading the cast, Zellweger was also the one who developed the project with Carmella Casinelli through their Big Picture Co. production banner. The movie will be co-produced and financed by AGC Studios. Production is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cPhantom 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\u2019re thrilled it\u2019s taking shape with such an extraordinary team. With David at the helm, and AGC as our partner, we\u2019re poised to deliver something really special,\u201d Zellweger and Casinelli said in a statement.<\/p>\n The post Ren\u00e9e Zellweger Teams With Harry Potter Director for New Movie<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Academy Award winner Ren\u00e9e Zellweger has signed on for the leading role in the upcoming psychological thriller movie Phantom Son.
