The 2020 family drama by Florian Zeller, The Father, won awards for its screenplay, acting, and score. The Son, an upcoming 2022 film, is the second installment in The Father trilogy, written by Zeller and Christopher Hampton. Hugh Jackman just released the trailer for the 2022 film, and it seems to follow in the footsteps of the first film.
The drama film stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, Zen McGrath, Hugh Quarshie, and Anthony Hopkins. The story revolves around Peter, a man with a good life set up for him—his career about to take off, his dream job closing in, his beautiful partner Beth, and a baby.
When his ex-wife Kate drops off his son Nicholas to stay with Peter, he thinks he can be the father to his son the way his father was never to him. But Nicholas’ entry disrupts Peter’s professional and personal life, and thus ensues the drama.
The film will premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2022, and will release theatrically on November 11, 2022. Hugh Jackman shared the trailer for the family drama on Twitter months before the release, and the film’s ripe emotions are already evident in the minute-long trailer.
The trailer depicts stunning acting by Jackman and his fellow cast members. The sequel will feature a score by Hans Zimmer like the first film, so keep your tear buckets ready. The trailer looks promising and emotionally strung, setting high expectations for the sequel.
