Robert De Niro is set to star in Netflix's crime thriller 'The Whisper Man,' directed by James Ashcroft. The film adapts Alex North's bestselling novel, centering on a widowed crime writer whose eight-year-old son is abducted, prompting him to seek help from his estranged father, a retired police detective. The story unfolds as they discover a link to a decades-old serial killer case. The Russo brothers, known for their blockbuster films, are producing the project, marking their sixth collaboration with Netflix. Production is scheduled to begin this spring on the East Coast, although a release date has not yet been announced. This partnership between AGBO and Netflix has previously yielded significant viewership successes with films like 'Extraction' and 'The Gray Man.'
