The Impossible will be directed by Roxann Dawson (House of Cards, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) from a script based on the Joyce Smith novel “The Impossible: The Miraculous Story of a Mother’s Faith and Her Child’s Resurrection,” based on the true story.
The Impossible is the story of Joyce, who’s son fell into a frozen lake in Missouri.
Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) is set to star in the upcoming film The Impossible, according to Deadline.
Metz will star as Joyce, who sat next to the 14-year-old’s bed until his heart started beating again.
