Adam Scott and Michelle Monaghan have signed on for Netflix’s crime thriller “The Whisper Man,’ starring Robert De Niro. The film is based on Alex North’s New York Times bestselling novel.
Per Deadline, Scott will star as a widowed crime writer who works with his estranged father, a retired police detective (Robert De Niro), to find his abducted 8-year-old son. The duo soon realize that the case has a connection with a decades-old murder committed by a convicted serial killer known as “The Whisper Man.” Monaghan will portray the investigator leading the search for missing kids.
James Ashcroft is helming the feature film which is being produced by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot and Michael Disco for AGBO ( the banner behind Netflix’s tentpole sci-fi movie, The Electric State.)
