Anthony Mackie is the latest to join the star studded cast of The Woman in the Window. Per Variety, the Avengers: Infinity War actor joins Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Wyatt Russell and Bryan Tyree Henry in Joe Wright’s (The Darkest Hour) adaptation of A.J. Finn’s bestselling novel.
Described as a nod to Alfred Hitchcock’s Read Window, the film follows Amy Adams’ Dr. Anna Fox, “a child psychologist with severe agoraphobia (and a penchant for mixing alcohol with her medication) who hasn’t left her house in months. The woman witnesses a horrible crime involving a new neighbouring family but no one, including the police, will believe her.” Oldman and Moore will play the neighbouring married couple that Adams watches.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Letts (August, Osage County) has written the script for the adaptation, while Scott Rudin (No Country for Old Men) and Eli Bush (Lady Bird) are producing.
The Woman in the Window tells the story of Dr. Anna Fox (Amy Adams), a recluse in New York City who drinks her days away alone in her apartment, watching classic films and her neighbors. When the Russells move into the house across the way, Anna sees the ideal family and spies on them, only to witness a shocking event that changes her life.
