Exclusive: Thandiwe Newton talks Reminiscence and working with Lisa Joy and Hugh Jackman
Currently playing nationwide in theaters and on HBO Max from Warner Bros. Pictures is writer/director/producer Lisa Joy’s action thriller Reminiscence, starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton.
Nick Bannister (Jackman), a private investigator of the mind, navigates the darkly alluring world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories. Living on the fringes of the sunken Miami coast, his life is forever changed when he takes on a new client, Mae (Ferguson). A simple matter of lost and found becomes a dangerous obsession. As Bannister fights to find the truth about Mae's disappearance, he uncovers a violent conspiracy, and must ultimately answer the question: how far would you go to hold on to the ones you love?
