“‘Strangers’ – Andrew Scott, Claire Foy and More star join the cast of Andrew Haigh Film Adaptation”

According to Variety, leading parts in Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming film adaptation of Strangers, largely based on the Japanese novel by Taichi Yamada, have been cast, including BAFTA winners Andrew Scott and Jamie Bell, Emmy winner Claire Foy, and Emmy candidate Paul Mescal. The concept is the brainchild of well-known director Andrew Haigh.

As Adam and Harry get more intimate, Adam is compelled to return to his childhood home, where he learns that his deceased parents, Foy and Bell, are still alive and appear to be the same age as they did on the day of their deaths more than 30 years ago.
