Jake Gyllenhaal New Movie 2014 'Nightcrawler' Releases First Promo Trailer, See His Skinny Look, Watch Here (VIDEO)

The new Dan Gilroy-directed movie Nightcrawler has released their first trailer and star Jake Gyllenhaal is looking very skinny. It is reported that he dropped over 20 pounds for the role. 

The 32-year-old actor plays a young man who stumbles upon the underground world of L.A. freelance crime journalism. Along with Gyllenhaal, the film stars Bill Paxton, Rene Russo and Riz Ahmed. This is Gilroy's film debut as a director.  

In the trailer, Gyllenhaal's character, Louis Bloom, is on the hunt for a new job. The "video resume" hints at the desperation in unemployment that leads Bloom down the path that sets this movie in motion.

"Excuse me sir, I'm looking for a job," he says in the promo. "In fact, I've made up my mind to find a career that I can learn and grow into. Who am I? I'm a hard worker, I set high goals and I've been told I'm persistent. Now, I'm not fooling myself, sir."

Jake got so into his role that he injured himself during one scene. "Jake was indeed filming "Nightcrawler" when during the shooting of an intense scene, his character (purposefully) banged his hand into the mirror," revealed his rep. "Unfortunately, the mirror broke and Jake's hand was badly cut up. He got numerous stitches at the ER and was released."

Nightcrawler started filming on October 6, 2013 in Los Angeles. It is scheduled to be screened in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival in September. 

Nightcrawler is scheduled to release to theaters on October 17th.
