I Am The Night: TNT Releases New Trailer for Patty Jenkins, Chris Pine Mystery Limited Series

TNT is giving us a new look at director Patty Jenkins and actor Chris Pine's "side project" I Am The Night (originally One Day She'll Darken): a mystery-thriller limited series from executive producer/director Jenkins, and starring executive producer Pine. Inspired by a true story and focusing on Fauna Hodel's (India Eisley) search for her real parents, the limited series blends the mystery surrounding Hollywood's infamous Black Dahlia murder with issues of racism, corruption, and injustice.

From executive producer Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), I Am the Night tells the incredible story of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley) who was given away at birth. As Fauna begins to investigate the secrets to her past, she follows a sinister trail that swirls ever closer to an infamous Hollywood gynecologist, Dr. George Hodel (Jefferson Mays), a man involved in the darkest Hollywood debauchery. Chris Pine plays Jay Singletary, a former Marine-turned-hack-reporter/paparazzo.

I Am the Night also stars Leland Orser, Yul Vazquez, Dylan Smith, Golden Brooks, Justin Cornwell, Jay Paulson and Connie Nielsen.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in June 2017, Jenkins discussed how filming Wonder Woman impacted her as a filmmaker moving forward:

"It's interesting to direct something so difficult but also something that you love so much. I learned a million little things about execution of this kind of movie and longevity of vision, having to hold the center because really only the director does. That's a big task to be the person who stays super clear. The most incredible thing about it is to see Gal and my true intentions come back at us the way that they are. I assumed we'd be sending our best effort out into a much more jaded world. To have such pure response come back from people talking about heroes, talking about the future, talking about love – that blows my mind. It's so powerful that what I wanted to talk about is also what everybody wanted to talk about. That's a beautiful, uniting experience to make a film that does that."
