David Schwimmer: hilarious Friends star, all-around nice guy, doppelganger for Empire's Nick De Semlyen, and now director of dark new drama Trust, about online predators who groom children for abuse. Weird, that doesn't sound funny or nice.
Schwimmer wrote the story for the film too, with Andy Bellin then writing the script. Clive Owen and Catherine Keener will play the parents who are horrified to learn that their 14 year-old daughter (Liana Liberato) has been abused by someone who gained her trust in an internet chat room. We're guessing that, with this being 2009 and all, it'll probably technically be over a social networking site than a chat room per se (those still exist? Huh). In any case, the film focuses on the family's attempts to deal with the crisis.
It's Schwimmer's first film since Run Fat Boy Run two years ago, and starts shooting in Michigan in November.
