Mila Kunis to Star in Home Invasion Thriller ‘Nightwatching’
Mila Kunis is set to star in and produce Nightwatching, based on Tracy Sierra’s debut novel, from directors Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, Deadline reports.
The novel, which was crowned champ of the spring 2024 Jimmy Fallon Book Club, follows Lee, a mother who, during a relentless winter storm, wakes to an intruder in her home. In a single instant, what should have been an ordinary night unravels into a fight for survival. As she struggles to protect her children, she’s drawn into a harrowing game of doubt and danger, one that leaves her questioning not only who has entered her home but what they truly want. Nightwatching is a tense and atmospheric thriller that explores the razor-thin line between safety and terror, and how far a parent will go when darkness closes in.
Laura Moss and Brendan J. O’Brien wrote the original screenplay with a current draft by TJ Cimfel and David White.
The film, which will be distributed internationally by Amazon MGM Studios, will be produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss and Sam Roston for Scott Free Productions; Erik Feig, Jessica Switch and Emily Wissink for Picturestart; and Kunis and Lisa Sterbakov for Kunis’ newly branded production company Brick for Sheep. Roston and Avital Siegel will oversee production for Scott Free.
Production will begin at the end of January as part of the California tax incentive program.
