'I Am the Night': Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins revive their 'Wonder Woman' magic for new miniseries
Chris Pine and Patty Jenkins, the talented duo who worked together in one of the decade’s greatest hit ‘Wonder Woman,’ have reunited for one of TNT’s most anticipated shows of 2019 — 'I Am the Night'. From the trailers and teasers, we have seen so far, it definitely seems like the duo has another hit on their hands.
Unlike the bright and inspiring ‘Wonder Woman,’ though, ‘I Am the Night,’ written by Jenkins’ husband Sam Sheridan, is dark, full of suspense and, for the lack of a better word, twisted. It is a classis noir repackaged for the world of streaming networks, if you will. Set in 1965, this TNT series promises to be one of the most enthralling psychological thrillers of recent times.
The show is inspired by the legendary Black Dahlia slaying and is told from the perspective of reporter Jay Singletary (Pine) who is investigating a man believed to be associated with the murder and that of Fauna Hodel (India Eisley), who follows a sinister trail surrounding the same man while trying to find her roots. The man in question is George Hodel (Jefferson Mays), who in the real world is widely considered to be the man that murdered Black Dahlia, even though he was never charged with the crime.
