Production Weekly is reporting that Forest Whitaker is in negotiations to make Afterwards his next film as he would star as Nathan Del Amico, a brilliant New York lawyer, who leads a life of professional success, but his private life is pretty dismal since he divorced Mallory, his only love, that is until he meets Garrett Goodrich, a mysterious doctor who introduces himself as a “messenger.”
Goodrich claims that he can sense when certain people are about to die, and that he is sent to help them put their life in order before it’s too late. Nathan doesn’t believe a word of this, but soon afterwards he witnesses some disconcerting scenes which seem to confirm the doctor’s claims. And that is when Nathan understands that he is soon going to die.
Gilles Bourdos is directing the film based on Guillaume Musso’s novel “Et après…” Shooting will begin in New York and Arizona later this year.
Whitaker is currently the frontrunner for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Last King of Scotland.
