In the tradition of Rosemary’s Baby and The Others, this taut and gripping thriller tells the story of devoted parents who are willing to do anything to resurrect their beloved son who was tragically killed in a freak accident. Godsend stars Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, Academy-Award nominee Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets, We Were Soldiers, Auto Focus), and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (X-Men, Simone, Femme Fatale). The film is directed by Nick Hamm, best known for his success with the highly stylized British film The Hole.
Following the death of their eight year old son on his birthday, Jessie (Romijn-Stamos) and Paul (Kinnear) are befriended by a doctor on the forefront of genetic research (DeNiro) at the height of their mourning. He leads the couple in a desperate attempt to reverse the rules of nature and clone their son. The experiment is successful and under Richard’s watchful eye, Adam grows into a healthy and happy young boy, until his 8th birthday.
