Ahead of its release next week, a new red band trailer has arrived online for writer- director Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal (Enemy)…
NIGHTCRAWLER is a pulse-pounding thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism. Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling — where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents. Aided by Rene Russo as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.
Nightcrawler is set for release October 31st, with a cast that also includes Rene Russo (Thor: The Dark World), Bill Paxton (Twister) and Riz Ahmed (Four Lions).
