Gabrielle Union Joins Jamie Foxx In SLEEPLESS NIGHT For Open Road
It’s been a while since I’ve heard from actress Gabrielle Union. Immediately the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is her role in Cradle 2 The Grave and Bad Boys 2 and I’m happy to still see her name make the rounds when it comes to the action genre. No kung fu stuff here though.
SLEEPLESS NIGHT is the story of Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx), a seemingly corrupt Las Vegas cop. When gangsters kidnap his son as ransom for a shipment of cocaine he stole, Downs races to save his son’s life without getting caught by Internal Affairs and before the mobsters discover that he’s actually lost the goods. Monaghan plays officer Jennifer Bryant, an Internal Affairs agent investigating Downs who ultimately has to decide which side of the law he’s on.
The screenplay was written by Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center, the upcoming Straight Outta Compton). SLEEPLESS NIGHT is a reinvention of the French film Nuit Blanche, directed by Frédéric Jardin, written by Frederic Jardin, Olivier Fox and Nicolas Saada.
