Check out the new poster & trailer for Lionsgate Premiere’s upcoming thriller Manhattan Night.
Based on Colin Harrison’s acclaimed novel Manhattan Nocturne (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), Manhattan Night tells the story of Porter Wren (Adrien Brody), a New York City tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal.
