When I saw it, I left, I walked all the way back here. It’s because of the World Cup. They’re trying to make it look good for tourists. They don’t want the eyesores around.”

Netflix hat den ersten Trailer zu Der Kinderflüsterer veröffentlicht, der Verfilmung von Alex Norths gleichnamigem Bestseller-Thriller. Robert De Niro und Severance-Star Adam Scott spielen einen entfremdeten Vater und Sohn, die auf unterschiedliche Weise mit einem Serienkiller zu tun bekommen:
Der verwitwete Krimiautor Tom Kennedy (Scott) zieht mit seinem achtjährigen Sohn Jake ins beschauliche Featherbank, bis der Junge nach demselben Muster entführt wird wie einst die Opfer des berüchtigten »Kinderflüsterers«. Der Haken dabei: Der Killer sitzt eigentlich seit 15 Jahren im Gefängnis, gefasst von Toms Vater Pete Willis (De Niro), einem pensionierten Ermittler.
Regie führt James Ashcroft, produziert wird von den Russo-Brüdern. Ab dem 28. August läuft der Psychothriller weltweit bei Netflix.
