Missing Interview with Storm Reid, Aneesh Chaganty and More
42If you missed out on Collider’s early screening and Q&A of the Searching follow-up film Missing starring Storm Reid, no worries! Perri Nemiroff moderated the post-screening interview with directors Will Merrick and Nicholas Johnson, Reid, and producers Natalie Qasabian, Sev Ohanian, and Aneesh Chaganty, and we've got the full conversation for you right here.
Missing follows June’s (Reid) frantic search to track down her mother, Grace (Nia Long), when she mysteriously disappears while on vacation in Columbia with her new boyfriend. When June’s attempts to uncover clues from home are thwarted by international regulations and procedures, she opts to turn to her everyday technology and the web-based tools available to her at the click of a button. Collider's Ross Bonaime calls Missing "clever" and adds, "[it] keeps its cards close to the chest so the audience will be guessing the whole way through."
Before Missing hits theaters nationwide on January 20th, the team behind the film divulged behind-the-scenes information – no spoilers, of course – for Collider readers and viewers to enjoy. During the Q&A, we learned why Chaganty, Qasabian, and Ohanian opted to hand the directing reins over to Johnson and Merrick, and how the screen thriller filmmaking process has evolved since making Searching. They also walked us through what it was like choosing a title for the new film and teased Easter eggs to look out for including Ohanian’s personal favorite, the alien subplot that now runs through both Searching and Missing. The team also discussed how important test screenings are to their projects, and how any change to iOS would send them back to the editing room. Reid also talks about the new challenges Missing posed for her as an actor, what it was like operating cameras herself, and how she developed the mother-daughter relationship with Nia Long.
