Every Breath You Take casts Casey Affleck as its lead.

Affleck will star opposite Sam Claflin, Michelle Monaghan, and Veronica Ferres in the independent thriller. 

Sunshine Cleaning helmer Christine Jeffs is set to direct Every Breath You Take. Producing are Richard B. Lewis of Southpaw Entertainment with Ferres and Frank Buchs of Construction Film.

Every Breath You Take follows a psychiatrist (Affleck) whose career is thrown into jeopardy when his patient takes her own life. When he invites his patient’s surviving brother (Claflin) into his home to meet his wife (Monaghan) and daughter, his family life is suddenly torn apart. 

“I’m extremely pleased that the gifted Christine Jeffs and our world-class cast have come together to bring this amazing thriller to life, as it touches on themes of family, betrayal, and redemption that are universal and resonate for all of us,” Lewis said.

Filming is set to begin this month in Vancouver.
