Amy Adams’ new movie, Nightbitch, finally has a release date, but the plot is keeping everyone occupied with the same gag.
Starring as the unnamed protagonist, Amy Adams will play the role of a stay-at-home mom who starts to believe that she is turning into a dog at night. The movie has been tapped as a comedy-horror, and contains elements of magical realism. A wild plot, for sure, and fans have been quick to make jokes.
Specifically, comparisons to the hit comedyTV show30 Rock are frequently being drawn. The series often gets referred to when a new movie or show contains a particularly unusual story, since it sounds like an idea that would get produced in the fictional world of 30 Rock. With Nightbitch falling perfectly into that category, with none of the comments wasting time.
“Every time I see something about this movie I think it’s a joke from 30 Rock,” said one X user. Anothersimply wrote: “30 Rock ass movie.”
More specifically, fans are making comparisons between the new movie and the 30 Rock character Jenna, who would likely appear in a similar project in the show.
“I know Jenna Maroney auditioned,” saidone comment. “Why would you cast Amy Adams??? When Jenna Maroney is RIGHT THERE????”wrote another.
“It’s called Nightbitch, Liz. It’s a horror thriller that follows a woman who is convinced she is turning into a dog,”one commentimagined Jenna saying.
