Plot details for Inheritance are vague for now, although Variety reported in November 2018 that the film explores what happens when the patriarch of a wealthy and powerful family suddenly passes away, leaving his wife and daughter with a shocking secret inheritance that threatens to unravel and destroy their lives.
Kate Mara (Pose, House of Cards) is attached to co-star, and the film will be helmed by Vaughn Stein, who previously directed Pegg alongside Margot Robbie in the 2018 thriller Terminal.
