Having appeared together in the 2013 BBC miniseries The Politician’s Husband, David Tennant and Emily Watson are set to reunite for Quicksand, a thriller which will mark the feature directorial debut of Mark Brozel (Humans, Troy: Fall of a City).

Deadline reports that the movie follows a British couple, Dan (Tennant) and Sarah (Watson), “who are living out their dream in the Mediterranean. But their paradise comes to an abrupt end when their visiting son is murdered by a local youth. Dan, grief stricken, is offered a chance at revenge by a dangerous stranger who won’t take no for an answer, but the price of revenge is one more murder.”

Filming on Quicksand is set to get underway in Crete in April 2019, with Brozel directing from a script by Steve Lewis and Tony Owen. Mark Lavender of Rough Sea Productions and Joel Scott-Halkes of Osiko Films are producing.
