Rhys Ifans stars in the spy thriller 'Inheritance' as Sam, a man who reappears in his daughter's life after years of absence, only to be revealed as a double agent. The film, directed by Neil Burger, was shot entirely on an iPhone across multiple countries, creating a unique and immersive experience.
Rhys Ifans reappears in his daughter's life, though with ulterior motives, in Inheritance. Ifans stars in the spy thriller as Sam, a man who runs an international shipping business, which previously led to the deterioration of his marriage and alienation from his two daughters. After the death of their mother, Sam reappears and attempts to reconnect with his daughter, Maya, only to be kidnapped and for her to learn that he has actually been a spy for multiple governments for years.
Ifans Was Thrilled To Get To Work With Burger For Inheritance "It was really thrilling, just for me, on a nerdy level, to kind of be around Neil..." ScreenRant: Inheritance is such a gripping ride from start to finish, such a refreshing take on the spy genre, and very grounded. What was it about Neil and Olen's script that really drew you to want to be a part of it?
So, it felt pleasantly a little bit illegal every time we shot. It felt like we were breaking the rules in a really kind of exciting way, it was really fun. It felt like street theater often, because most of the film, I'd say, is in very populated places, airports, markets, streets. I really got off on it, because sometimes, when you make a film, you're so protected.
You're always on, in his case, someone's hitlist, potentially, regardless of regime changes and what have you. So, I just like that it was messy, and I liked that he was messy, that he wasn't necessarily efficient. But what was very clear to me that in order to survive in that industry, you have to be ruthless, and you have to be prepared to employ and jettison even the closest members of your family.
Rhys Ifans: I mean, all my stuff was with Phoebe, and with this kind of process, you have to come from a place of playfulness and fun. It's the only way to get through, and Phoebe carried us all through it. Neil, myself and Phoebe, especially, just completely embraced this way of working, and it infused everyone who came into contact with us. She was just fantastic to work with, and I would play her dad again.
