LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Award-winning Writer/Director Allen Wolf unleashes the Director's Cut of Morning Star Pictures' gripping psychological thriller IN MY SLEEP, available on Amazon Prime Video for Digital Download and On-Demand starting Tuesday, September 17, 2024. This release marks the fifteen-year anniversary of the original film, offering viewers a chance to experience the story as Wolf always envisioned it.

"In My Sleep" follows Marcus, a man who finds himself in a desperate race to uncover the truth when he discovers he may have murdered a close friend while sleepwalking. This Director's Cut enhances the original's nail-biting suspense with refined color grading, improved visuals, and newly incorporated footage, all while tightening the pacing for a more intense viewing experience.

"When I came up with the idea for 'In My Sleep,' I was fascinated by news stories of people committing extraordinary acts, even murder, while sleepwalking," Wolf explains. "This Director's Cut allowed me to refine my original vision, creating an even more immersive experience that draws viewers deeper into the main character's world and the mystery surrounding him."

The film features an impressive ensemble cast including Philip Winchester ("Strike Back," "Law and Order: SVU"), Lacey Chabert ("Mean Girls"), Abigail Spencer ("Rectify"), Kelly Overton ("Van Helsing"), Michael Badalucco ("The Practice"), Beth Grant ("No Country for Old Men"), and Tony Hale ("Veep"). Adding to the film's taut atmosphere is an original score by acclaimed composer Conrad Pope ("The Wolfman," orchestrator for "The Hobbit").

Written and directed by Allen Wolf ("The Sound of Violet"), "In My Sleep" was produced by Wolf and David Austin, with Ralph Winter (producer of the "X-Men" series) serving as Executive Producer. This Director's Cut offers longtime fans and new viewers a chance to experience a meticulously crafted thriller that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

The Silicon Beach Film Festival will host the World Premiere of "In My Sleep" at the TLC Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on September 11, 2024. North Hollywood Cinefest will host the Glendale Premiere on September 14, 2024, at the Look Dine-In Cinemas.
