Gay Fashion designer Tom Ford had great critical success when he turned director for 2009’s A Single Man, but it’s only now that he’s plotting his second feature, Nocturnal Animals, with Variety reporting that he’s got Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal in talks to star.
The movie is ‘Based on the novel by Austin Wright titled “Tony and Susan,” the plot is described as a story inside a story, with the first part following a woman named Susan who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, a man whom she left 20 years earlier, asking for her opinion.
‘The second element follows the actual manuscript, called “Nocturnal Animals,” which revolves around a man whose family vacation turns violent and deadly. It also continues to follow the story of Susan, who finds herself recalling her first marriage and confronting some dark truths about herself.’
Ford is set to write and direct, and while it’s early day in negotiations, it appears it’s Adams and Gyllenhaal who have been pushing to be cast, so there’s an extremely good chance they will sign on the dotted line.
It’s not clear when it will shoot.
It looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is bidding to join the Robert De Niro and Christian Bale club of actors who are happy to completely transform they body for a role. Sfter losing huge amounts of weight for Nightcrawler, he’s now turned his torso into a vascular mass of rippling muscles for Southpaw.
With Nightcrawler hitting cinemas last week, Jake Gyllenhaal sat down with Huffpo and took the opportunity to look back at one of the most important films of his career – Brokeback Mountain.
Jake Gyllenhaal got some of the best notices of his career for the just released Nightcrawler (and not solely for his dramatic weight loss). It now looks like he’s interested in staying in morally ambiguous territory with The Man Who Made It Snow according to 
A couple of months ago it seemed Marvel has sewn up the casting of Doctor Strange with Joaquin Phoenix in talks for the role. However he passed on the role and so the studio has been on the lookout again.
Nightcrawler looks like it could be an interesting movie, even if we’re still not sure why Jake Gyllenhaal decided the skinny look was the way to go to star in it. Now a new trailer has arrived, which gives us our best look yet at the intriguing film.
The makers of Nightcrawler have tried something a bit different with some of the first marketing for the movie, as rather than releasing a normal teaser trailer, they posted a Craigslist ad, linked to a video where Jake Gyllenhaal is a hard worker seeking employment.
