Jake Gyllenhaal is proving just how driven he really is in two new clips from his upcoming crime drama, ‘Nightcrawlers.’ In the clips from the thriller, ‘I’m Lou Bloom’ and ‘A Screaming Woman,’ the Academy Award-nominated actor’s character, Lou Bloom, enters the cut-throat, dangerous world of nightcrawling.
The film, which was written and directed by Dan Gilroy, is set to be released in theaters on October 31, 2014. Besides Gyllenhaal, ‘Nightcrawler’ also stars Rene Russo, Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed.
Open Road Films, which will distribute ‘Nightcrawler’ in theaters nationwide, has released the following synopsis for the drama:
‘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.
