Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Ferguson tackle random access memories in ‘Reminiscence’ [Trailer]
From writer/director/producer Lisa Joy (HBO’s Westworld) comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ action thriller
Reminiscence, starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton.
Nick Bannister (Jackman), a private investigator of the mind, navigates the darkly alluring
world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories. Living on the fringes of the sunken
Miami coast, his life is forever changed when he takes on a new client, Mae (Ferguson). A simple
matter of lost and found becomes a dangerous obsession. As Bannister fights to find the truth
about Mae’s disappearance, he uncovers a violent conspiracy, and must ultimately answer the
question: how far would you go to hold on to the ones you love?
Alongside Oscar nominee Jackman (Les Misérables, The Greatest Showman),
Ferguson (upcoming Dune, Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep) and Newton, (Westworld, Solo: A Star Wars
Story), the film also stars Cliff Curtis (The Meg, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), Oscar
nominee Marina de Tavira (Roma), Daniel Wu (TV’s Into the Badlands, Warcraft), Mojean
Aria (TV’s See and Dead Lucky), Brett Cullen (Joker), Natalie Martinez (The Stand and
The Fugitive series), Angela Sarafyan (Westworld) and Nico Parker (Dumbo).
Joy makes her feature film directing debut with Reminiscence, and directs
from her own original screenplay. The film is produced by Joy, Jonathan Nolan, Michael De Luca
and Aaron Ryder. The executive producers are Athena Wickham, Elishia Holmes and Scott
Lumpkin.
Joy’s creative team includes several of her Westworld collaborators, including director
of photography Paul Cameron, production designer Howard Cummings, editor Mark Yoshikawa
and composer Ramin Djawadi, along with costume designer Jennifer Starzyk (Bill & Ted Face
the Music).
Reminiscence is set for release nationwide in theaters on August 20, 2021 from Warner Bros and will be available on
