deadline.com/2015/01/jamie-foxx-michelle-monaghan-sleepless-nights-1201363123/Jamie Foxx & Michelle Monaghan To Star In ‘Sleepless Night’ For Open Road Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan have signed on to star in Sleepless Night, a Vertigo Entertainment action thriller that will be directed by Baran Bo Odar. Open Road Films will finance production and take worldwide distribution rights under their recently announced partnership with FilmNation. The pic is a “reinvention” of the 2011 French film Nuit Blanche, directed by Frédéric Jardin. The new take centers on a seemingly corrupt Las Vegas cop (Foxx). 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 an Internal Affairs agent investigating him who ultimately has to decide which side of the law he’s on. Andrea Berloff, who wrote World Trade Center and the upcoming Straight Outta Compton, penned the adaptation.
