Adrien Brody plays New York tabloid reporter who is lured into a Fatal Attraction-like scenario when stalked by a mysterious femme fatale in the newly-released trailer for the pulpy thriller "Manhattan Night."

Also starring Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck, Dexter) and Jennifer Beals (Flashdance, The L Word), the film is based on author Colin Harrison's 1996 crime novel "Manhattan Nocturne," about a scandal-seeking newspaper journalist, named Porter Wren (Brody). When contacted by a beautiful stranger (Strahovski) and asked to investigate her husband's unsolved murder, Porter becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of seduction, obsession, and betrayal.

Written for the screen and directed by Brian DeCubellis, "Manhattan Night" co-stars Campbell Scott and Steven Berkoff, and it's currently slated to hit theaters and VOD on May 20th.

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.
