Outraged fans beg Amy Adams to 'get a better agent' after she plays a mom who turns into a DOG in bizarre trailer for 'rock bottom' film Nightb***h

Fans reacted en masse to the release of the trailer for the new Amy Adams movie Nightb***h, in which the feted actress plays a woman who fears she is turning into a dog - chowing down on food without utensils in one scene.

The social media site X/Twitter was flooded with shocked and bemused reactions to the release of the preview for the bizarre new comedy horror, in which the six-time Oscar nominee, 50, takes on canine traits.

A number of users were astounded Adams was persuaded to take the role, as one user said that 'she needs a new agent' echoing a previous user's sentiments in July who said, 'Amy girl, i’m begging you, get a better agent.'

A synopsis for the film reads: 'As she embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.' 

One fan said the concept of the motion picture marked a new low for the American film industry: 'Wow... just when you thought Hollywood already hit rock bottom, they walk over and say hold my beer.'

Another remarked, 'I replied to a post a few days ago about Hollywood having no original ideas. I was wrong and I apologize. Hollywood should stop having original ideas.'

One user said they had 'never wanted to unwatch something more in my whole life.'

Some fans applauded the unusual nature of the forthcoming film, and the actress for taking a chance with the role, which is billed as 'Mother' on iMDb.

'People cry and bitch about movies being repetitive and how cinema is dead but when a weird movie comes out all they do it cry and b***h more cause its not gonna be "oscar worthy,"' one user said. 'WHO gives a f*** about oscars!! AMY ADAMS WE LOVE YOU NIGHT***H

Another user said: 'I have no idea what’s going on, but Amy Adams being in it is enough for me to watch it.'

One user said the concept 'looks like a nice idea and whatever role Amy Adams will do she'll do it the best..'

A user said, 'Can't wait to see Amy Adams unleash her inner night creature! This one’s going to be a wild ride!'

A user said that 'based off this trailer, balancing the real struggles of motherhood with a premise like this is going to be like balancing on a tightrope.

They added that 'it’s an interesting concept that could easily get lost in itself by the end,' and that audiences 'need more original movies in the world.'

Some users appeared to be vexed or unclear about the premise and tone of the motion picture based off what they saw in the preview.

'It looks like one of those serious movies that get a "comedic" spoof trailer,' the user said. 'I hope it's not entirely what they're trying to sell here with the light vibes.'

Said another, 'Uhhhh not really sure how I feel about this one ... I have so many questions?'

Other users had unique takes based off the preview featuring the acclaimed actress.

A user said, 'The memes that are going to come from this movie...' while another said, 'This looks like the best SNL skit ever.'

Another remarked, 'Every single wholesome and normal appearing actor from the 90s and 00s will be systematically ritually humiliated on screen, it seems.'

Multiple users said they were confident Adams would be able to make something of the unusual role.

'I love Amy so I have to watch this despite everything telling me not to,' one person said, while another said, 'I can't wait to see how Amy Adams brings this unique story to life.'

Said another user, 'I love me some Amy Adams, this looks like it is really showcasing her acting skills!'

One user said they were 'excited to see Amy Adams in this new role,' adding that the movie is 'shaping up to be a must-watch!'

The trailer begins with Adams' character Mother adjusting to life as a mom in the suburbs with her toddler son and husband (played by Scoot McNairy.)

However things take a sinister turn when her son points out 'fur' on her face, her eyes change and she notices she is developing pointed canines - like a dog's. 

Mother soon transforms into a wolf and joins a pack of dogs every evening - with Adams seen devouring a tray of food without cutlery, digging a hole in her garden, and eating dog food from a metal bowl alongside her son.

The increasingly feral Mother also tells a woman she could 'crush a walnut with her vagina' and tells her amused mom friends 'I think I'm turning into a dog!'

After her husband reveals he wishes he could stay at home all day, Mother tells him: 'If you wake him [their son] I will rip your throat out!' 

In addition to Amy, Nightb***h - an adaptation of author Rachel Yoder's 2021 novel - also stars Ella Thomas and Garrett C. Phillips.

Nightb***h - Adams' first movie since 2022's Disenchanted - will premiere in theaters on December 6, 2024, with a Toronto Film Festival premiere on September 7, 2024. 

When Adams isn't busy filming movies, she is busy raising daughter Aviana, 14, with her husband Darren Le Gallo.

Adams and Le Gallo met in an acting class in 2001, and began dating a year later when they collaborated on the short film, Pennies.

The couple got engaged in 2008 and welcomed daughter Aviana two years later in 2010.

They had an extended engagement and said they were in no rush to get married, before exchanging vows in 2015 on a ranch just outside of Santa Barbara, California.

The actress told Allure in 2016 that the couple decided to finally get married because Aviana 'wanted a family wedding'.

Adams has also previously gushed about her husband and the love he has for their daughter.

She told Marie Claire back in 2018: 'It's sexy to see him raising a girl and teaching her how a man should treat her in a lovely way.'

And the actress, who has six Academy Award nominations and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame under her belt, hopes to serve as a reminder to her daughter about her own potential.

'I want [Aviana] to know that is it not just women that can soar, she can soar and she needs to find her own light. I know she is on that path,' she told Entertainment Tonight after her Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony in 2017.

'That is something that I need to remind her. No light that shines on me creates a shadow for her to stand in.'
