Fantastic too.

Also fantastic are the reviews for Jake's performance in  Nightcrawler, and for the creepy film noir movie.

The film was voted by the critics as one of the best of TIFF, as well as Jake's performance.

Great reviews from critics are  putting it and Jake in the 4 start/ A- category and Nightcrawler has a very  respectable  82% on Rotten Tomatoes from all critics and  67% from top critics.

Here is an interview with Indie Wire with Jake talking about the movie , writer/director Dan Gilroy, and his character Lou Bloom, and "staring into the eyes of the coyote." (remember that is the spirit animal inspiration du jour)

Fantastic News

At the beginning of the month, it was announced that Nightcrawler would be premiering at Toronto International Film Fest. And TIFF is coming up fast. As in next week. (Where did summer go?)

Nightcrawler's world premiere will be at the Elgin/Winter Theatres on Friday, September 5th, at 9:00 pm, with additional screenings on the following Saturday, at noon, and then again on Friday, September 12th.

And while The Great White North is the international red carpet premiere of Nightcrawler, Jake and crew are taking the movie way down south for the U.S. premiere.

Now wherever could that be?

Can you say "Deep in the Heart of Texas"

The U.S. red carpet premiere of "Nightcrawler" was the highlight of the second wave of announcements coming out today about Austin, TX's upcoming 10th anniversary edition of Fantastic Fest, which runs from Sept. 18-25th.

The movie premiere will close out the festival which takes place at the newly reopened Alamo South Lamar and Highball theaters.

Fantastic Fest focuses on off-the-radar genre films from U.S. and abroad
and is "largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world."

 Don't think they had a tough time convincing one of the movie's producers to bring Nightcrawler to Texas, do you?
