‘Inheritance’ Trailer: Phoebe Dynevor Stars in Spy Thriller Releasing This January

Fresh off the skyrocketing success of Netflix’s “Fair Play,” Phoebe Dynevor is now leading a spy thriller titled “Inheritance.” The film is written and directed by Neil Burger, best known for having helmed the 2014 adaptation of “Divergent.” Olen Steinhauer also co-wrote the script alongside Burger.

IFC Films picked up the movie a few months ago and is now ramping up the marketing campaign before it bows out in cinemas this January. At the time of its acquisition, Burger said that the project “was a true adventure to make – shooting around the world and taking risks to achieve the ‘you are there’ feel. Phoebe delivers a phenomenal performance in the movie, and I’m looking forward to audiences seeing her as they’ve never seen her before.”

Head of AMC Networks Film Group Scott Shooman, who backs IFC Films, stated that the movie “is an absorbing spy thriller which invigorates the espionage genre with a fresh cinematic approach and a knockout, gritty performance from Phoebe Dynevor. I’ve been a massive fan of Neil’s for years and we are thrilled to collaborate on this movie and give audiences the chance to see it in theaters at the start of the new year.”
