Irish actor Jack Reynor to star alongside Hilary Swank and Olivia Cooke in Mother's Milk

Jack Reynor is set to feature in the star-studded upcoming thriller, Mother's Milk, as part of a cast that also includes two-time-Oscar-winner Hilary Swank and Olivia Cooke.

As reported by Variety, the "opioid-themed" film recent wrapped filming in New York, and is helmed by director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, who also wrote the script with Madison Harrison. Joris-Peyrafitte previously directed As You Are, which won the Special Jury Award at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and Dreamland, starring Margot Robbie.

According to the description offered by Variety, Mother's Milk follows "a journalist who, after the murder of her estranged son, forms an unlikely alliance with his pregnant girlfriend to track down those responsible for his death. Together, they confront a world of drugs and corruption in the underbelly of their small city in upstate New York, where they uncover an even darker secret."

“Getting this film made has been a personal dream of mine for six years and assembling a stellar cast like this is more than I ever could have hoped for,” director Joris-Peyrafitte said in a statement. “I’m so excited to bring this story to life with them and my team of amazing producers.”

Reynor is well known for his roles in the likes of What Richard Did (2012), Sing Street (2016) and Midsommar (2019). The award-winning Irish actor is also set to star in upcoming psychological thriller Brightwater, alongside Emily Browning and Scoot McNairy.

His co-star Swank has earned multiple awards for her roles in the likes of Boys Don't Cry, Million Dollar Baby, and P.S. I Love You. Cooke, meanwhile, stars in the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, following appearances in Slow Horses, Sound of Metal, Ready Player One and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.
