Do you remember Searching , the 2018 thriller directed by Aneesh Chaganty and focused on the story of a father, looking for his mysteriously missing daughter?
Costing less than a million dollars, the film had managed to collect over 75 million worldwide, giving the green light to what we can define as a “spiritual sequel”. We are talking about Missing , arriving in our theaters on March 9 and directed by newcomers Will Merrick and Nick Johnson .
Here is the official poster
Missing does not mark the return of the original cast led by John Cho . It is a completely new story, which however maintains the same narrative structure of Searching , very particular.
In fact, the action takes place entirely on the screens of computers and mobile devices. Something seen in other films such as the horror Unfriended .
In the cast we find Storm Reid, Nia Long and Joaquim de Almeida .
The story revolves around June (Storm Reid), a young girl who decides to carry out a personal investigation to find her mother (Nia Long), who apparently hides many secrets.
