Open Road Films will be opening the awards contender Nightcrawler in theaters on October 31, 2014 and in support of its upcoming release, the studio’s put out a red band (as in restricted) trailer. Dan Gilroy wrote and directed the thriller that stars Jake Gyllenhaal (delivering one of his best performances to date), Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed.
The Nightcrawler Plot:
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.
