Sam Claflin and Michelle Monaghan alongside Casey Affleck and Veronica Ferres have joined the cast of the independent thriller ‘Every Breath You Take’.
The movie is about a psychiatrist, portrayed by Affleck, whose career is thrown into jeopardy when his patient takes her own life. When he invites his patient’s surviving brother (Claflin) into his home to meet his wife (Monaghan) and daughter, his family life is suddenly torn apart.
Christine Jeffs will helm the project which will be produced by Richard B. Lewis of Southpaw Entertainment and Ferres and Frank Buchs of Construction Film.
