Nightbitch Trailer: Amy Adams Believes She is Transforming into an Animal as She Grapples with Motherhood – Don’t Miss It!
In Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming horror comedy Nightbitch, Amy Adams explores her primal instincts while navigating motherhood. The film, based on Rachel Yoder’s novel of the same name, follows an artist who becomes a stay-at-home mom and realizes she is not happy with her new lifestyle.
Her maternal instinct takes a surreal turn as it manifests itself in the form of a canine, according to the official synopsis. This movie also marks Adams’ return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus, with her last film being Disney’s Disenchanted.
Originally set to release on Hulu, Nightbitch will now have a theatrical release by Searchlight. Writer-director Marielle Heller, known for her work on A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Can You Ever Forgive Me?, will adapt Yoder’s novel.
The trailer shows Adams’ character transforming into a dog and displaying canine instincts like eating publicly and digging in the yard. The film appears to blend horror and comedy elements.
It focuses on the protagonist’s experience of motherhood and animalistic empowerment rather than just surprising plot twists. “Motherhood changes you, connects you to primal urges,” another character tells the protagonist.
The film explores the contrast between human and animal instincts. Adams’ character remains nameless, emphasizing her connection to her instincts.
Apart from Nightbitch, Adams has other projects in the pipeline, including At the Sea, The Invite, and Klara and the Sun. She serves as a co-producer on Nightbitch alongside Marielle Heller and others.
The cast also includes Scoot MacNairy, Mary Holland, Jessica Harper, Zoë Chao, Ella Thomas, Stacey Swift, Archana Rajan, Adrienne Rose White, Darius De La Cruiz, and Roslyn Gentle.
Nightbitch is set to hit theaters on December 6.
