Forget Sherlock and Holmes – meet Stoppard and Constable, the detective duo of 1950s London. Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan star as the two detectives hired to solve a series of murders, with the killer targeting members of a popular West End play, in "See How They Run," premiering this September on Searchlight. .
A desperate Hollywood producer sets out to turn a popular play into a movie. The only problem? The star actors of the play are killed one by one.
Stars: Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson
The official tagline reads: “In 1950s London's West End, plans for a film version of a blockbuster play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When weary Inspector Stoppard (Rockwell) and enthusiastic rookie Constable Stalker (Ronan) take charge of the case, the two find themselves embroiled in a baffling whodunit inside the glamorous and seedy underground theater, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own risk. .
Adrien Brody, David Oyelowo, Ruth Wilson, Harris Dickinson, Shirley Henderson, Sian Clifford, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Reece Shearsmith and Charlie Cooper play the cast of victims... with one of them perhaps being a murderer.
Tom George directs “See How They Run” from a script written by Mark Chappell. George makes his feature film debut after directing episodes of "This Country" and "Defending the Guilty."
Searchlight Pictures is behind "See How They Run," which casts Ronan in a similar dark comedy role that dates back to her collaborations with Wes Anderson on "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "The French Dispatch." Following her turn opposite Oscar winner Rockwell, Ronan will star in Garth Davis's “Foe” opposite Paul Mescal and will star in “The Outrun” with Paapa Essiedu. Both upcoming films are set on their respective farms, with "Foe" examining the devastating effects of climate change and "The Outrun" proving to be a homecoming to farmland.
"See How They Run 2022" ushers in the fall awards season for crime movies with a release date around Rian Johnson's highly anticipated "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." The Netflix movie has a release date courtesy of the fall festival circuit, with the return of Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc to solve another high-profile murder case.
