Hollywood actor James McAvoy

Hollywood actor James McAvoy will front Utopia writer Dennis Kelly's drama, Together. Directed by Emmy and BAFTA-winning director Stephen Daldry (The Crown), the UK-based film traces its characters' journeys amid the lockdown, right from day one in March 2020.

It tells the story of a husband and wife who are forced to re-evaluate themselves and their relationship during lockdown. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Sharon Horgan plays a worker who is a co-ordinator for all of Europe at a refugee charity, while McAvoy plays a self-employed man who runs a boutique computing consultancy. He's been forced to furlough his staff and take to growing vegetables.

The couple share a 10-year-old son, who is the one thing that has kept his parents' relationship together - until the lockdown is imposed. The film is being produced by Guy Heeley and West End and Broadway theater producer Sonia Friedman.
