3. Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal lost a tremendous amount of weight for his role as the stung out crime journalist who finds himself in way over his head when he starts blurring the lines between covering and making up the news.
Based on the trailers we’ve seen so far, this one is shaping up to be something very special indeed as it looks to find a balance between action and psychological drama. Gyllenhaal has delivered a number of really fantastic performances as of late and this looks set to be no exception. In fact, it could be one which finds some serious awards recognition for the actor.
The cast is rounded out with Rene Russo, Bill Paxton and Riz Ahmed, and Dan Gilroy – the brother of The Bourne Legacy’s Tony Gilroy – is writing and directing.
