Exclusive Clip: Joel Edgerton Desperately Worried in Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here

Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here was formerly titled “Say Nothing” – a perhaps more fitting description for several sequences in this relationship busting, mystery drama that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2012 (we were there for the premiere). In this exclusive clip provided by the eOne Films folks, we find actress-scribe Felicity Price’s character as not the root cause, but an unexpected burden on Joel Edgerton’s character continued state of distress and anxiety. Also starring Teresa Palmer, Antony Starr and a beautiful Cambodian backdrop, this receives a limited release in select theatres next Friday, June 7th.

Here’s the synopsis: Four friends indulge in a carefree Cambodian holiday, but their sun-soaked retreat quickly takes a horrific turn when one of the travelers disappears.  As the search ensues, the others return home, racked with guilt and struggling to return to their daily lives.  Does one of them hold the answer to the fate of their lost companion? Tightly-held secrets from their life-altering trip are brought to light, revealing clues to the whereabouts of their missing friend.
