MATT DAMON GETS IN DEEP
STILLWATER is a Dramatic Thriller
In Tom McCarthy’s upcoming crime drama Stillwater, Matt Damon plays an oil worker from Stillwater, Oklahoma named Bill Baker. When he learns that his estranged daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin), has been arrested in France for the murder of her girlfriend, which she did not commit, he packs up his life and moves to France.
Unfortunately, Allison has already exhausted all of her legal options, and Bill finds he must do whatever it takes to clear his daughter’s name for a murder she did not commit. As he struggles to get her freed, he finds help in French woman Virginie (Camille Cottin). The plotline definitely gives off Amanda Knox vibes.
A trailer was just released for the film. Focus Features, which is releasing the film, described it as “a dramatic thriller directed by Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy and starring Matt Damon, Stillwater follows an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter, in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit.
Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his personal mission to exonerate his daughter.”
McCarthy co-wrote the script for Stillwater with Marcus Hinchey, Thomas Bidegain and Noé Debré.
Watch the trailer here now, and See Stillwater in theaters July 30, 2021.
