It's September, so the fall season is right around the corner. Searchlight decided to kick off the fall season by dropping the official trailer for Nightbitch, which is a film with a concept so out of this world that it needs to be seen to be believed. In terms of what this movie will actually be, it's a little unclear. People have said the book was quite dark, but the tone of the trailer is leaning into the comedy of the situation. However, trailers can be incredibly misleading, and this is an idea that would be hard to market to the general public. We're going to get a buckwild Amy Adams performance either way, and I'm here for it.

Summary of the book from the publisher's website: "One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was pretty suddenly something else…
An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms.
As the mother's symptoms intensify and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peaks, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem.
An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch, will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want."
