‘Night Always Comes’ – Eli Roth Starring in Netflix Thriller
An adaptation of the 2021 novel written by Willy Vlautin, Night Always Comes is on the way from Netflix and Aluna Entertainment, and Variety has announced the cast this week.
For starters, Vanessa Kirby is leading the cast and will produce through Aluna.
Eli Roth (“Inglourious Basterds,” “The Idol”), Jennifer Jason Leigh (“The Hateful Eight,” “Fargo”), Zack Gottsagen (“The Peanut Butter Falcon”), Stephan James (“If Beale Street Could Talk”), Julia Fox (“Uncut Gems”), Randall Park (“Always Be My Maybe,” “WandaVision”) and Michael Kelly (“House of Cards,” “Jack Ryan”) also star in the Netflix thriller.
The film “follows Lynette, a woman who risks everything to secure a future for herself and her brother by setting out on a dangerous odyssey in Portland, in doing so confronting her own dark past over one propulsive night.”
Benjamin Caron ( “Andor”) directs from a script by Sarah Conradt (“Mother’s Instinct”).
Variety also notes in their report, “Netflix acquired the project as part of a multi-year first-look deal it signed with Aluna Entertainment when it was first launched.”
The M3GAN Universe will also be expanding next year with a spinoff horror movie titled SOULM8TE, starring Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise, Monolith). After popping heads as Victoria Neuman on Prime Video’s “The Boys,” Deadline reports that actor Claudia Doumit has joined the cast of the horror spinoff.
The spinoff is being billed as a ’90s-style erotic thriller with a “new technological twist,” and it’s coming to theaters on January 2, 2026.
Doumit will star opposite previously announced leads Sullivan and David Rysdahl, but character details are currently under wraps.
SOULM8TE follows along as “a man (Rysdahl) acquires an Artificially Intelligent android (Sullivan) to help him cope with the recent loss of his deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, the man inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.”
Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) will direct. The filmmaker rewrote an original draft from Rafael Jordan (Salvage Marines), which was based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Jordan. It’s said to be far more risqué than its parent film.
“Fundamentally, I view this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness,” Dolan said in a recent statement. “Despite technological advances, there are enduring human truths we cannot escape, and I am looking forward to delving into those depths.”
“SOULM8TE is a thrilling and seductive addition to the M3GAN universe. We’re excited to partner with Kate to bring this story to life with her unique cinematic vision and point of view,” said James Wan, who produces through his company Atomic Monster.
M3GAN was a massive viral hit for Blumhouse back in 2022, the film scaring up $180 million at the worldwide box office. It’s no secret why Blumhouse is all-in on all things M3GAN.
Wan and Jason Blum will produce, with Michael Clear and Judson Scott of Wan’s Atomic Monster exec producing alongside Ingrid Bisu. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.
