Actor Vanessa Kirby has been tapped to play a pivotal role in `The Son`, filmmaker Florian Zeller`s follow up to his feature directorial debut `The Father`.

The movie also features Hollywood stars, Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern. Like `The Father`, `The Son` has been adapted by Zeller and Christopher Hampton, from Zeller`s critically-acclaimed stage play. The duo recently won the best-adapted screenplay Oscar.

`The Son` centres on Peter (Jackman) as his busy life with new partner Emma (Kirby) and their baby is thrown into disarray when his ex-wife Kate (Dern) turns up with their teenage son, Nicholas.

"The young man is is troubled, distant and angry, playing truant from school for months. Peter strives to be a better father, searching to help his son with those intimate and instinctive moments of family happiness. But the weight of Nicholas` condition sets the family on a dangerous course," the plotline reads. Iain Canning and Emile Sherman are producing the movie along with Joanna Laurie of See-Saw Films and Christophe Spadone. Zeller is also producing. Shooting will start in the coming weeks.
