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

What is Sleep No More about?
“Warren Emerson (Sebastian Roché, The Man in the High Castle), once a Shakespearian thespian of renown, is now a gambling-addicted drunk. Puck-like Samuel (Thomas Brodie-Sangster, The Maze Runner series) enchants crowds on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade, reciting Shakespearian monologues his father all but beat into 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 gets in deep with a vicious loan shark (Gbenga Akinnagbe, Wu-Tang: An American Saga), his sons need to find a way to escape, and like Samuel’s beloved comic book hero, Phantom Halo, they must break free of the ‘mud’ that traps them. There is counterfeit money, a Bentley, a beautiful woman, knives, guns, and an ending that is more like a Shakespearean tragedy than a film about growing up in the urban decay of Hollywood.”
Directed by Antonia Bogdanovich from a script she wrote with Anne Heffron, the film stars Luke Kleintank, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Sebastian Roche, Jordan Dunn (Read the Room), Tobin Bell (Saw series), Rebecca Romijn (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), Gbenga Akinnagbe, and Ashley Hamilton (Rules Don’t Apply). It is produced by William Blaylock, Brian Espinosa, and Gabriela Revilla Lugo. Executive producers are Peter Bogdanovich and Goran Milev, while Amanda Mortimer and Anna Bogdanovich co-produced.
The crime thriller has a runtime of 98 minutes and features cinematography by Gavin Kelly.
