Aneesh Chaganty’s computer screen thriller has a sequel, and its first trailer has officially launched.
After the healthy run of Searching at the box office with collections of around $75 million, making a sequel became a question of when not if.
For Missing, Chaganty has handed over the director’s hat to Nick Johnson and Will Merrick. The movie is set to release in January 2023, but the official trailer is out! Watch it here!
What do teenagers think of doing when their parents decide to go on a trip? A lot of booze and partying, right?
That’s what excites June (Storm Reid) when her mom (Nia Long) tells her about her vacation in Columbia. Like any other teenager, she couldn’t care less about the safety rules her mom lists over FaceTime.
Catastrophe strikes when June least expects it. Her mom doesn’t return on her scheduled flight. She tries every way possible to contact her but gets greeted by silence everywhere. Her mom is missing!
Stuck thousands of miles away from Columbia, June creatively uses all her online resources and tries to find her mom before it is too late.
Everything seems to fail as 911 doesn’t bother much, and neither does anyone from Columbia’s US Embassy.
As she digs deeper into her mom’s life, more questions arise than answers.
June realizes that she never knew her mom for who she was.
At the end of the trailer, we see footage showing her mom being dragged into a minivan. This clip catches the eye of the media, and we see them calling it the strangest case ever.
What is strange about the case? What was June’s mom hiding? Will she ever come back?
In the end, we see someone knocking on June’s door. She is visibly terrified.
Will June be able to navigate through this ordeal? Or will she fall prey to the vicious monsters her mom is hiding in her past?
