The new big screen thriller “ Missing” may be a different viewing experience than many moviegoers are used to — in the best way possible. The film, which follows Reid’s character June trying to find her mother (Long) who has gone missing while on vacation with her boyfriend (Ken Leung), takes place across multiple computer and phone screens. The format and presentation is similar to “Missing’s” 2018 predecessor “ Searching ,” starring John Cho and Michelle La. The 2018 film was directed by Aneesh Chaganty and written by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian. Chaganty and Ohanian wrote the story for “ Missing,” which is written and directed by Will Merrick and Nick Johnson.
