Oscar winner Renée Zellweger is set to star in and produce the psychological thriller Phantom Son, with David Yates to direct and Stuart Ford ’s AGC Studios to finance and co-produce the project.

Phantom Son will center on Ronnie, a young and struggling runaway taken in by Audrey (Zellweger), a lonely woman whose own son was kidnapped twenty years earlier. As Audrey becomes convinced that Ronnie actually is her long-lost son, a twisted game of cat and mouse develops to blur the line between deception and delusion.

Zellweger and Carmella Casinelli developed the thriller under their Big Picture Co. banner and attached Yates to direct from a screenplay by Ian Scott McCullough. AGC Studios then joined as a producing partner. Additional casting is underway ahead of a planned early 2026
