Searchlight Pictures' 'Nightbitch,' starring Amy Adams, is set to hit theaters on December 6. The film follows the story of a woman navigating the challenges of raising a toddler in the suburbs, who begins to tap into a primal maternal power that hints at a transformation into a canine.
In this adaptation of Rachel Yoder's acclaimed debut novel, Adams leads the cast alongside Scoot McNairy, who plays her frequently absent husband. The film is written and directed by Marielle Heller, known for her work on projects like 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl,' which garnered critical acclaim and awards recognition.
Heller expressed her deep connection to Yoder's book, citing its darkly humorous take on motherhood and the complexities of female rage. The director's collaboration with Adams, whom she envisioned for the role, has been a source of inspiration during the challenging times of the pandemic.
Amy Adams, a six-time Academy Award nominee, brings her talent to the screen once again following her recent appearance in Disney's musical 'Disenchanted.' Her upcoming projects include a role in Taika Waititi's adaptation of 'Klara and the Sun,' where she stars alongside Jenna Ortega.
'Nightbitch' is a production that brings together a team of accomplished individuals, including Heller, Adams, and a group of producers who have worked on notable films in the industry. The film promises to deliver a unique and thought-provoking exploration of motherhood, identity, and the untamed forces that lie within.
