Watch the newest trailer that promises more extreme intensity from Jake Gyllenhaal as a crime journalist in Nightcrawler.
If you’ve saw the first trailer for Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler, then you are well aware of the movie’s intense elevator pitch from a highly caffeinated Jake Gyllenhaal. Playing Lou Bloom, a perversely eccentric personality who stumbles into the world of freelance crime journalism, Nightcrawler is not so much a character study as a forbidding warning of self-actualization gone wrong. With Bloom, the titular definition of a bottom feeder, Gyllenhaal appears to be turning in a career highlight about a charlatan who gets in way over his head by seeking all that goes bump (and bang) in the night. And with the official second trailer below, we finally see what that might entail.
Clearly offering up more than meets the eye about the role of journalism in our society Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy) looks to be painting a very intense experience. The film also stars Bill Paxton, Rene Russo, and Riz Ahmed.
Nightcrawler slithers into theaters on October 31st. Spooky.
