Nightbitch is an upcoming American comedy horror film directed and written by Marielle Heller and starring Amy Adams. The film is adapted from the 2021 novel of the same name by Rachel Yoder.[1]
In July 2020, Annapurna Pictures acquired the film rights to the then-unpublished Nightbitch, written by Rachel Yoder, with Amy Adams attached to star and produce.[3] Stacy O'Neil of Adams' Bond Group Entertainment production company will co-produce the film alongside Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and Sammy Scher, while Yoder would serve as executive producer.[4] Can You Ever Forgive Me? filmmaker Marielle Heller connected with Yoder's novel and began to quietly develop the film alongside Adams during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
In March 2022, filming was scheduled to begin in the fall of that year.[6] In May, Searchlight Pictures acquired distribution rights from Annapurna for $25 million, winning out from five other bidders.[7] At this time, Heller's involvement was officially confirmed. Christina Oh, Adam Paulsen, and Heller had boarded the film as producers, while Scher moved to executive producer with Havilah Brewster.[8] On June 27, 2022, Scoot McNairy joined the film.[9][10]
Production was intended to begin in September 2022 in Los Angeles, California.[11] It began in October 2022, with the announcement that Ella Thomas[12] and Garret Phillips had joined the cast.[13][14] On October 21, 2022, Mary Holland joined the cast.[15]
