Fans of The Officewon't struggle to think back on the cameo role that Amy Adams had. Early on in the series, she had a small but integral part to play. She fitted seamlessly into the mockumentary setup, and conveyed all the emotions her character went through after coming into contact with some of the bizarre people at Dunder Mifflin. The Office came early on in Adams' career in film and TV, demonstrating her ability to act with sincere realism. Moving on from the show, she has become best known for roles such as Brenda in 2002's Catch Me if You Can and 2007's Giselle in Enchanted, which earned her her first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. She later won two of those awards in the same category, for American Hustle (2013) and Big Eyes (2014).

Adams was also the first guest roles on The Office.

Amy Adams is set for a lead role in the “Cape Fear” TV series currently in the works at Apple TV+, Variety has learned.

Adams joins Javier Bardem in the show, which was picked up to series at Apple in November with a 10 episode order. The series is based on both the John D. MacDonald novel “The Executioners,” which inspired Gregory Peck’s 1962 Universal Pictures feature “Cape Fear,” as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte.

The official logline for the series states, “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.”

Amy Adams has earned two Golden Globe Awards (from eight nominations), won a Screen Actors Guild Award (also from nine nominations) and has been nominated for six Academy Awards. Those nominations have been for “Junebug” (2005), “Doubt” (2008), “The Fighter” (2010), “The Master” (2012), “American Hustle” (2013) and “Vice” (2018). She’s also competed at the Emmys for “Sharp Objects.”

Her news awards player is the 2024 film “Nightbitch,” which has her completely playing against type as a woman turning into a dog.

Let’s take a tour in our photo gallery of her 17 greatest movie performances, ranked from worst to best.

Plot: Two Mormons (Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher) on a mission knock on the wrong door and find themselves fighting for their lives, faith, and sanity.

Review: Heretic is the latest horror flick from A24, and like many of their genre efforts, it’s a provocative one. Questions of theology and faith are always timely, and much of this diabolical and impressively harsh horror film deals with whether or not – in the face of great conflict – you can maintain your faith or be swayed by both the desire to save your own life and the evidence you’re being presented with.

In this, Sister Paxton (Chloe East) and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) are young Mormons fulfilling their duties as missionaries by essentially going door-to-door to try to convert people to their faith. Neither is a particular stickler for Mormon theology, with the movie opening with them discussing pornography and condoms,...

“Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight,” the festival darling and actress-filmmaker Embeth Davidtz’s directorial debut, is getting worldwide distribution from Sony Pictures Classics, the company announced Thursday.

Fresh off a series of rave reviews out of Telluride and the Toronto International Film Festival, the movie is based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name and also stars Davidtz, previously of “Schindler’s List” and “Matilda” fame. She also notably co-starred in “Junebug” at Sony Pictures Classics alongside the breakout performance from Amy Adams.

“I am thrilled to be working with Sony Pictures Classics to bring ‘Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight’ to audiences globally,” Davidtz said. “I previously worked with them when I starred in ‘Junebug’ and saw their passion and skill for bringing that film to the world. It is like a dream come true that they are now distributing my screenwriting and...

Sony Pictures Classics has landed worldwide rights to “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight,” a dramatization of Alexandra Fuller’s memoir about growing up in the Rhodesian civil war.

The movie, which premiered at Telluride Film Festival and also screened at Toronto, was written and directed by Embeth Davidtz in her feature debut. The actor, best known for “Schindler’s List,” “Matilda,” “Junebug” and “Bicentennial Man,” also portrays the mother of the main character (Fuller’s on-screen surrogate).

Set in 1979 and 1980, “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” follows 8-year-old Bobo, who lives on her family farm in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) at the end of the Zimbabwean War for independence. As described in the official logline, “Growing up in the midst of this long running war, Bobo internalizes both sides of the struggle. Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired all worldwide rights to Don’t Let’s Go To The Dogs Tonight, the directing debut of Embeth Davidtz that screened at the recent Telluride and Toronto festivals.

Set and shot in South Africa – where US-born Davitz was raised – with a local cast and crew, the film centres on an eight-year-old girl living on her family farm in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) at the end of the country’s late-seventies war of independence.

Amy Adams has only been away from movie screens for a couple years. Her last credit is 2022’s “Disenchanted.” But Saturday night at the Toronto Film Festival felt like the return of an actor who’s been sorely missed, judging from the massive ovation Adams received after the world premiere of Marielle Heller’s new “Nightbitch.”

Adams’ complex, bravura performance fits right in with her other roles of self-actualization in “Junebug,” “Enchanted” and “Sharp Objects.” Here, in a film that combines domestic struggles, comedy, direct-to-camera address, social satire and magic, Adams plays a mother who finds herself transforming into a big, strong, beautiful dog.

Onstage after the premiere, Adams explained that she was drawn to the human qualities of the material. “One of the wonderful explorations of the film is about the isolation that comes from [motherhood]. The transformation from motherhood to parenthood is a shared experience that isn’t often shared.

By the end of 2024, Amy Adams is going to star in a new horror comedy movie that will hopefully bring her what she is long overdue for an Oscar. Since the late 1990s, Amy Adams has been impressing audiences with her versatile acting range and heartfelt performances. The actress made her film debut in 1999's Drop Dead Gorgeous, then had her breakout playing a young pregnant woman in 2005's Junebug. From there, Amy Adams' movie roles have been diverse, from drama and comedy to horror and musicals. Despite this, Adams has yet to reach that important Hollywood milestone.

In the last ten years, Amy Adams has maintained a fairly busy career. She finished out her stint as Lois Lane in the DC Universe, revived a beloved childhood franchise via Disenchanted, and starred in several other outstanding movies. Now, Adams is set to continue this streak with her newest film, 2024's Nightbitch.

Amy Adams believes she is slowly turning into a canine in Nightbitch, and here’s the trailer for the incoming movie.

Amy Adams has been nominated for an Academy Award six times – for Junebug, Doubt, The Fighter, The Master, Vice and American Hustle. It’s something of an oversight that none of them were for her pitch perfect performance as Disney princess Giselle in 2007’s Enchanted, a role she reprises in 2022 sequel Disenchanted.

Her next role in the dark comedy horror Nightbitch has exactly the kind of one line elevator pitch premise that could attract attention come awards season – a stressed mother begins to turn into a dog.

The synopsis reads as follows:

Nightbitch tells the story of a woman (Adams) thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, who slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the...

Amy Adams had her first major success as a leading lady in Enchanted, a 2007 American musical fantasy romantic comedy film. She played the role of Giselle, a singing and dancing princess-to-be who almost makes her dream of meeting her prince a reality.

In September 1997, Disney’s Touchstone Pictures and Sonnenfeld/Josephson Productions bought the initial script of Enchanted for a reported $450,000. Disenchanted, a sequel to the 2007 film Enchanted, was released in 2022.

Disney considered offering the role of Giselle to Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon but agreed to give Adams the part thanks to her Oscar-nominated supporting performance in the 2005 American comedy-drama film Junebug.

Junebug is a movie that’s been five years in the making, and the story is near and dear to star Autumn Reeser’s heart. The actress spoke with TV Insider about bringing Junebug to Hallmark and reconnecting with her eight-year-old self. “It was a Christmas movie initially,” Reeser revealed. However, after “listening to these characters and listening to the story,” Junebug moved outside the holiday space. For Reeser, Junebug’s summer release is “perfect timing.” She continued, “There’s this deep dive within the collective, into the archetype of the inner child, and connecting with this deep part of ourselves again and keep diving into these core wounds and these poor places that are ready to come up to be healed. To me, that’s the deeper theme of the movie, so it’s coming at a perfect time. It couldn’t have been made before now.” In the film,...

The Paris 2024 Olympics are already in full swing. Some of the events have taken place this week. But the Opening Ceremony airs on Friday, July 26th at 7:30 Est on NBC and Peacock. That means a lot of networks will be scrambling with their summer programming.
