Armie Hammer coupled with Amy Adams for Nocturnal Animals

Armie Hammer will follow up his turn in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E” with “Nocturnal Animals”, the Tom Ford directed drama starring Amy Adams.

The Focus Features project, based on the book of the same name, also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Shannon and Kim Basinger.

The story tells of a woman (Adams) named Susan who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, a man whom she left 20 years earlier, asking for her opinion.

The book then tracks two stories: the story in the novel, titled Nocturnal Animals, which tells of a man (Gyllenhaal) whose family vacation turns violent and deadly; and the story of Susan, who finds herself recalling her first marriage and confronting some dark truths about herself.

Hammer will play Adams’ husband. Production is due to begin this fall.
