The first trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s new flick, ‘Nightcrawler,’ was released this week and it looks like a very creepy, very intense first effort from director Dan Gilroy. In the film, Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a freelance journalist attempting to make a name for himself by documenting – and possibly manipulating – crimes late at night for local news outlets.

The trailer indicates that we’ll get to watch Bloom’s ascent into stardom on the local news scene while his morality comes into question along the way. Throughout the trailer, Gyllenhaal’s character repeats his own personal motto: “If you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy a ticket.”

But does the end justify the means? That’s what we’ll find out when the film hits theaters on October 17th of this year.
