Creepy Crawly

We had a tease of Jake as Louis Bloom in Nightcrawler and today is the official trailer of the thriller.

This is definitely a different turn.



Definitely the anti-hero, Louis comes off as  off-beat, slightly sleazy, intense, opportunistic and frankly a little creepy.

It is a risk for an actor to take a role that the audience may not like.  But it can be the opportunity to show actor's talent of transformation.  Creating feelings and reaction from the audience, even that of dislike and rejection, shows that audience had completely bought into the actor's performance forgetting them as the performer, and only seeing the performance itself. That's when they strive for and what defines success for an actor.

 Jake is taking that chance  with Nightcrawler. Not a safe choice if you want to be a box office leading man, but bold choice as a performer.

Nightcrawler is definitely an intense ride among the dark side of LA.
