'Nightbitch,' starring Amy Adams, is set to hit theaters on December 6, 2023, after initially being planned for a direct-to-streaming release.

The film is based on Rachel Yoder's 2021 novel, which follows a stay-at-home mom who believes she is transforming into a dog as she navigates the challenges of motherhood.

In this unique role, Adams portrays an artist who pauses her career to become a mother, leading to a surreal transformation marked by dog-like behaviors.

As her maternal instincts manifest in bizarre ways, she begins to exhibit behaviors such as eating dog food and running on all fours.

The film's promotional materials feature the tagline 'Motherhood is a bitch,' hinting at its bold narrative approach.

Adams' character faces additional challenges from an unsupportive partner, played by Scoot McNairy, who dismisses her changes as 'a little bit weird'.

The film explores themes of motherhood and personal identity, emphasizing the protagonist's journey of self-empowerment amidst her surreal transformation.

Director Marielle Heller expressed excitement about the film's release, especially after delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes.

Heller, known for her focus on complex female characters in films like 'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' and 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,' adapted the screenplay from Yoder's novel.

Adams has already received the TIFF Tribute Performer Award for her performance in 'Nightbitch' and her overall body of work.

The cast includes notable actors such as Scoot McNairy, Zoë Chao, Jessica Harper, and Mary Holland, contributing to the film's dynamic ensemble.

Amy Adams, a six-time Oscar nominee, continues to take on diverse roles, with 'Nightbitch' marking her return to the big screen after her 2022 film 'Disenchanted.'
