Manhattan Night Page #2

Synopsis: Based on Colin Harrison's acclaimed novel Manhattan Nocturne (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), MANHATTAN NIGHT tells the story of Porter Wren (Adrien Brody), a New York City tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal. On the beat he sells murder, tragedy and anything that passes for the truth. At home he is a model family man, devoted to his loving wife (Jennifer Beals). But when a seductive stranger (Yvonne Strahovski) asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her filmmaker husband Simon (Campbell Scott), he can't resist. In this modern version of a classic film noir, we follow Porter as he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail - one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life. MANHATTAN NIGHT will be released by Lionsgate Premiere in theaters and On Demand May 20, 2016.

Police have no idea

how he got in there,

given the high fence with wire,

nor can they determine the cause

of death because of the...

the bulldozers

and the rats. You can say it.

I've read the report 17 times.

I'm sorry.

"The world-famous filmmaker

appears incapable of smiling."

Clearly.

"Several hours into

the interview,

I came to realize

that Simon Crowley..."

Thank you.

"...is not a nice person,

particularly,

and he doesn't

care if you know it.

In his pursuit of great movies,

woman upon woman,

and cigarettes,

in that order,

niceness is irrelevant."

Mixed review.

- Is that best director?

- Best original screenplay.

Apparently it's what they give you when they

want to give you best director but they can't.

They still can't figure out

how he got in there.

The place was all locked up and

he didn't have a key on him.

What's the story

with the pieces of Jade?

No idea.

Whew.

Could I have my coat, please?

I hope you don't feel like I've

wasted your time.

Here's my number.

When the gate shuts,

my work and the city

remain on the other side of the wall

that surrounds our hidden home.

Lisa and I fell in love with this

house when we were first married.

There's something about it surviving

hundreds of years, like a secret.

It kept me honest.

Anywhere else, this house

should be mundane.

But in Manhattan,

it was a miracle.

My family slept inside,

safe from the dangers

of these dark streets,

secluded too from the world of Caroline

Crowley and her famous dead husband,

who could not enter

this secret place,

unless, of course, I brought

them home with me.

Did you redo it yesterday?

It happened too late.

Daddy-bird!

Saved the wedding dress part

just for you.

All right. I'm on it.

I'm on it. Thanks.

Classy quote

from the gymnastics coach.

You see what they put

for the headline?

The Pulitzer is waiting.

I liked it. You okay?

Yeah, I'll be all right

in a few hours.

You didn't drive home

last night, did you?

No. I left the car in the lot.

Hello. Excuse me.

- Sally, come. We need to get dressed. -

- Oh, no, but i...

- Tommy, let's go.

- - Never!

- Morning, Josephine.

- - Tommy?

- I don't wanna come.

- Tommy.

Tommy. Don't you kick me.

Ooh.

- Yes. I got him.

- - Pick him up.

- Mm. There you go.

You better come on with me.

- Get your tush under control.

- Come on here.

Josephine, if you could pick up the

house a bit today, it'd be great.

Like, maybe you could do, like, the

dishes, or maybe do the pots in the sink?

You know, she ignores me

all the time.

Oh, listen. I have an important surgery

that I have to do tomorrow night,

so I won't be able to go to that

dinner with Lorca and Cabot.
