Open Road Films confirmed Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan have signed on to star in Sleepless Night, an action thriller that’s a “reinvention” of France’s Nuit Blanche. Baran bo Odar is directing from a script by Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center).

“With a sharp script and a first-rate team of talent in front of and behind the camera, we are proud to produce Sleepless Night and to make this project the inaugural film under our international distribution agreement with FilmNation,” stated Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films.

Michelle Monaghan was recently seen in True Detective, Better Living Through Chemistry, Fort Bliss, Playing It Cool, and The Best of Me. Jamie Foxx had Rio 2, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Horrible Bosses 2, and Annie in theaters in 2014.

The Sleepless Night Plot:

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.
