Character Posters Unveil Nocturnal Animals

 

Arrival isn’t the only motion picture on TIFF’s slate to feature the Amy Adams as he also holds a role in Tom Ford’s domestic thriller Nocturnal Animals. Penned by late Cincinnati author Austin Wright, the November release marks Ford’s first foray behind the lens since firing A Single Man to Oscar glory back in 2009.

This time around, the filmmaker is juggling a much bigger ensemble cast – an ensemble cast that takes center stage in today’s fresh batch of character posters. At the forefront of that roster is Amy Adams as Susan, a happily-married woman who is drawn into what appears to be a twisted revenge plot hatched by her estranged ex-husband, Edward. If the one-two punch of Prisoners and Nightcrawler is any indication, moviegoers can feel confident in Gyllenhaal delivering another standout performance in two months’ time.

With TIFF 2016 well underway, we now have access to the first wave of admittedly glowing reviews. Our own Darren Ruecker, for instance, lumped praise on Tom Ford’s ability to engineer two dazzling stories that combine for one powerful movie experience.

Nocturnal Animals is due to make its bow in select cities come November 18, before expanding nationwide on December 9. Armie Hammer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Shannon, and Laura Linney round out the casting docket.
