The Last Thing He Wanted film will follow the story of a veteran D.C. journalist named Elena McMahon, who loses the thread of her own narrative when a guilt-propelled errand for her father thrusts her from byline to unwitting subject in the very story she’s trying to break.
Netflix has released the official trailer for director Dee Rees’ upcoming film adaptation of The Last Thing He Wanted, based on author Joan Didion’s political thriller novel of the same name.
The Last Thing He Wanted is directed and produced by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Dee Rees (Mudbound), who co-wrote the screen adaptation with Marco Villalobos.
The film adaptation stars Academy Award-winning actors Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables, The Dark Knight Rises) as Elena McMahon and Oscar winner Ben Affleck (Argo, Justice League, Gone Girl) as Treat Morrison along with Oscar-nominee Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse) as Richard McMahon.
