The Last Thing He Wanted Trailer

Dee Rees‘ The Last Thing He Wanted (2020) movie trailer has been released by Netflix and stars Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, Willem Dafoe, Rosie Perez, and Toby Jones.

Plot Synopsis

The Last Thing He Wanted‘s plot synopsis: based on the novel by Joan Didion, “A veteran D.C. journalist (Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway) loses the thread of her own narrative when a guilt-propelled errand for her father (Oscar® nominee Willem Dafoe) thrusts her from byline to unwitting subject in the very story she’s trying to break.”

The book’s plot-line:

The narrator introduces Elena McMahon, estranged from a life of celebrity fundraisers and from her powerful West Coast husband, Wynn Janklow, whom she has left, taking Catherine, her daughter, to become a reporter for The Washington Post. Suddenly walking off the 1984 campaign, she finds herself boarding a plane for Florida to see her father, Dick McMahon. She becomes embroiled in her Dick’s business though “she had trained herself since childhood not to have any interest in what he was doing.” It is from this moment that she is caught up in something much larger than she could have imagined, something that includes Ambassador-at-Large Treat Austin Morrison and Alexander Brokaw, the ambassador to an unnamed Caribbean island.

Cast

The Last Thing He Wanted also stars Mel Rodriguez, Edi Gathegi, Carlos Leal, Laura Niemi, David Vadim, Steve Heinz, Erica Askew, Ellen Marguerite Cullivan, and Onata Aprile.
