One of the films we missed during the last festival season is the intense thriller "Magpie", directed by Sam Yates and written by Tom Bateman. The film follows a new mother struggling with the challenges of a demanding newborn while becoming obsessed with her husband's possible infidelity. The trailer looks stunning, and early reviews praise Daisy Ridley's performance as yet another remarkable leading lady. Magpie hits theaters on October 25th. Check out the official trailer and poster, and don’t miss this captivating thriller!
Based on an original idea by Daisy Ridley, written by Tom Bateman (Murder on the Orient Express, Thirteen Lives), and directed by Sam Yates (VANYA, The Hope Rooms), MAGPIE is a stylish neo-noir thriller centered on married couple Anette (Daisy Ridley) and Ben (Shazad Latif), whose lives begin to fracture when their daughter is cast alongside a glamorous movie star, Alicia (Matilda Lutz). As Anette’s suspicions of Ben’s infatuation with Alicia intensify, their secrets and lies threaten to burst to the surface and destroy them all.
