Magnum PI‘s Jay Hernandez makes his feature film directorial debut with Night Comes, which just unveiled its first photo. Described as a survival thriller, the first still from the film features You are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah‘s Samantha Lorraine and Deadpool & Wolverine‘s Dafne Keen.
Heels‘ Alexander Ludwig also stars in Hernandez’s first feature.
“Night Comes unfolds against the backdrop of a cataclysmic event that threatens to engulf humanity,” reads the official synopsis. “Two sisters (Keen and Lorraine) manage to escape the horror only to find themselves thrust into a perilous struggle for survival, tasked with a mission that holds the fate of mankind in the balance.”
Shaun Redick (Get Out), Yvette Yates Redick, and Big Picture Cinema Group partners Jayce Barriero and Jacky Lai serve as producers. Hernandez co-wrote the screenplay with Jason Bourque and Nancy Isaak.
“With Night Comes we have a chance to do two unique things simultaneously,” said Hernandez in a May 2024 interview with Deadline. “We have a visually stunning exploration of genre, with edge of your seat action coupled with what I see to be a character study in a world where rules, gender roles, and order no longer exist. And it’s a journey into how these two young women define sisterhood.”
