ComingSoon is pleased to present the Sleep No More: The Director’s Cut trailer, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Antonia Bogdanovich’s crime thriller. The director’s new version will debut in theaters, video on demand and digital on July 26.
“Sleep No More is a neo-noir crime thriller set in Los Angeles, combining grit and atmospheric style, occasional comic desperation, and an inspired literary bent. As the 2014 film, director Antonia Bogdanovich’s first feature, approached its 10th anniversary, she wanted to revisit the film, a New York Times Critics’ Choice (originally distributed as Phantom Halo), with the goal of releasing the version she originally envisioned. “So, as a tribute to her late father, Peter (who also executive produced), she got to work producing Sleep No More: The Director’s Cut,” the synopsis reads.

What is Sleep No More about?
“Warren Emerson (Sebastian Roché, The Man in the High Castle), once a renowned Shakespearean actor, is now a gambling drunk. The disc-shaped Samuel (Thomas Brodie-Sangster, The Maze Runner series) charms crowds on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade, reciting Shakespearean monologues that his father almost instills in him while his brother Beckett (Luke Kleintank, The Man in the High Castle), a master pickpocket, makes his way through the unsuspecting crowd. When Warren becomes involved with a ruthless loan shark (Gbenga Akinnagbe, Wu-Tang: An American Saga), his children need to find a way to escape and, like Samuel’s beloved comic book hero, Phantom Halo, they must free themselves from the ‘mud’. ‘that catches them. There is fake money, a Bentley, a beautiful woman, knives, guns and an ending that feels more like a Shakespearean tragedy than a movie about growing up in the urban decay of Hollywood.”
