When the Bough Breaks Movie Interviews

CS sits down with the When the Bough Breaks movie cast for a look at this Friday’s big screen thriller

In theaters this Friday, When the Bough Breaks is a new thriller from Sony’s Screen Gems and director Jon Cassar (24, The Kennedys) that stars Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall and newcomer Jaz Sinclair. ComingSoon.net had the chance to sit down with all three stars and, in the player below, you can watch as they discuss what it took to bring When the Bough Breaks to the screen.

John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) are a young, professional couple who desperately want a baby. After exhausting all other options, they finally hire Anna (Jaz Sinclair), the perfect woman to be their surrogate – but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, so too does her psychotic and dangerous fixation on the husband. The couple becomes caught up in Anna’s deadly game and must fight to regain control of their future before it’s too late.

The When the Bough Breaks movie cast also includes Romany Malco, Michael K. Williams and Theo Rossi. The film opens in theaters this Friday, September 9.

When the Bough Breaks is produced by the former New Line toppers Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne and executive produced by Screen Gems’ Glenn Gainor. Valerie Bleth Sharp is co-producing and Brian Dukes is associate producer.

The creative production team includes Emmy nominated director of photography David Moxness (The Kennedys), production designer Chris Cornwell (Ride Along, The Wedding Ringer), costume designer Olivia Miles-Payne (Entourage, Ride Along 2), visual effects producer Raoul Bolognini (Spider-Man 2, Zombieland), visual effects supervisor Erick Geisler (The Day the Earth Stood Still), and editor Scott Powell (24).
