Amy Adams Will Star in a 'Darkly Comic Neo-Horror' Called 'Nightbitch'

Marielle Heller wrote and will direct the film adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel.

The movie is being described as a “darkly comic neo-horror,” and is currently in pre-production. Production is set to start this September in Los Angeles.

Amy will star as 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.”

“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. 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,” said director Marielle Heller.

At the same time, Amy Adams is currently filming a sequel to a beloved film!
