Vanessa Kirby may be wowing fans with her portrayal of Sue Storm in Fantastic Four, now in theaters, but she also has a low-key thriller hitting Netflix this week that promises to be a wild ride.
Night Always Comes is based on Willy Vlautin’s 2021 novel, The Night Always Comes, and tells the story of a woman who does everything she can over the course of an evening to get $25,000 to save her family home.
'Night Always Comes follows Lynette, a woman who risks everything to secure the house that represents a future for her family. On a dangerous odyssey through a single night, Lynette is forced to confront her dark past in order to finally break free.'
In addition to Kirby, it stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Zack Gottsagen, Stephan James, Julia Fox, Eli Roth, Randall Park and Michael Kelly.
It is directed by Benjamin Caron, who previously worked with Kirby on The Crown.
“Vanessa brings a beautifully wild energy to Lynette, making the character unpredictable and deeply, deeply human. Together, we worked on creating a character who is simply not just reacting to the world, but desperately trying to wrest control of her future, even as she teeters on the edge of self-destruction,” says Caron, who also praised Kirby's contributions as a producer.
“Vanessa was creatively involved from the ground up, which was brilliant. To have someone that was both an actor and producer was incredibly exciting to me.”
Watch the trailer below for Night Always Comes, which debuts on Netflix on 15 August.
