Originally expected to be a theatrical release from Fox in October of 2019, the long-delayed Amy Adams thriller The Woman in the Window is now set to be released through the Netflix streaming service on May 14th. Just over a month ahead of that date, Netflix has gone ahead and released one final trailer for the film. You can watch that trailer in the embed above.
Based on a novel by A.J. Finn (pick up a copy HERE) and directed by Joe Wright from a screenplay by Tracy Letts, The Woman in the Window stars Adams as Dr. Anna Fox, "a woman of increasingly dubious reliability who cannot leave the confines of her house" because she has agoraphobia.
Anna occupies herself by drinking and watching her neighbors, the Russells. She starts to befriend one of them, Jane (Julianne Moore), but one night she witnesses Jane being stabbed and calls the police. Things get infinitely more complicated when a detective comes over with Jane's husband (Gary Oldman), who claims nothing happened, and to top it off, a different woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) also shows up claiming to be Jane.
Letts, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, and Fred Hechinger are also in the cast.
The Woman in the Window has taken a long, bumpy road out into the world. It started out at Fox, Fox ordered reshoots after a test screening audience was confused, then the film was inherited by Disney when they acquired Fox, and Disney passed it over to Netflix. Here's hoping that it will turn out to be a solid thriller when we finally get to see it.
