Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticAllie Fox is a man with a lot of anger to throw around. Like Jackson Pollock using bile instead of paint, the lead of Apple TV Plus’ limited series “The Mosquito Coast” spreads his rage everywhere — including and especially on the lives of his family, whom he uproots for an adventure in Mexico.

He's taking over the role originated by Harrison Ford in his under appreciated 1986 drama The Mosquito Coast.And Justin Theroux, 49, showed off his rugged movie-star looks on Friday evening when he was joined in Queens, New York City, for a screening of his new Apple TV+ series by his costar Logan Polish, 19, who stars as his on-screen daughter.The actors were helping to boost an awards-consideration screening held at a drive-in movie theater due to the ongoing pandemic.

Justin Theroux is following in Harrison Ford’s footsteps in Apple TV+ ‘s new series “Mosquito Coast”. Based on the novel by the actor’s uncle Paul Theroux, the story was turned into a movie in 1986 starring Ford, Helen Mirren and River Phoenix. Now, the “Leftovers” star is getting a crack at the lead, telling ET Canada’s Morgan Hoffman he had to “work hard” at pretending the movie version and Ford’s take on the character didn’t exist.

Much has been written about how the Prestige TV era often discards the episodic format of old to present seasons that play more like long movies with credit breaks every hour or so. Creator Neil Cross (“Luther”) clearly had this in mind while conceiving his take on “The Mosquito Coast.” Unfolding more like a 7-hour movie than a traditional season of television, this riff on the Paul Theroux novel, memorably adapted once in 1986 by Peter Weir (starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix), is a taut, gripping story of a family on the run that owes more to modern dramas like “Breaking Bad” and particularly “Ozark” than it does to its origins.
