Actor Oliver Trevena, known for Airplane and The Bricklayer, has joined Felicity Jones and Vincent Cassel in the upcoming noir detective thriller Eleven Missing Days.
The film tells the true story of Christie (played by Jones), who, at the height of her fame, made headlines when she disappeared from her home under mysterious circumstances. This life-imitating-art detective thriller explores the investigation into her disappearance, uncannily reminiscent of one of Christie's own novels, in which everyone in her life becomes a suspect, including her brother, Monty (Treven).
