From Searchlight Pictures, Amy Adams is set to star in hot horror project Nightbitch, and this month the upcoming film has received its official “R” rating from the MPA.
Nightbitch is rated “R” for “language and some sexuality.”
The “darkly comic horror film” is being directed by Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), and we’ve heard that it’s planned to be a Hulu Original release.
Scoot McNairy (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Mary Holland (Happiest Season) also star.
“Nightbitch tells the story of a woman thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, who slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a canine.”
The movie is based on Rachel Yoder’s novel, and Yoder penned the screenplay.
“Rachel Yoder’s book took my breath away. I haven’t felt this way about [a] book since I read The Diary of a Teenage Girl many years ago,” Heller said in a statement. “Rachel’s darkly hilarious tale of motherhood and rage made me feel seen. And adapting it with Amy Adams in mind has been the thing that has kept me going through the pandemic. I am so thrilled to be bringing this movie to life with wonderful partners in Anne Carey, Annapurna Pictures, and Searchlight. It is a dream come true.”
Amy Adams will also be producing Nightbitch.
