Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams look serious in this Nocturnal Animals tease

Tom Ford's NOCTURNAL ANIMALS features a story within a story. The first part consists of a woman who receives a manuscript from her ex-husband, of whom she left 20 years ago. The second part is the actual manuscript, called "Nocturnal Animals," which revolves around a man whose family vacation turns deadly. As the film goes on, I'm sure the two stories will relate, but you can get a glimpse of the trailer (breaking tomorrow) here!

I thought that writer/director Tom Ford's A SINGLE MAN was a decent picture, although if our review from TIFF is any indication (check it out HERE), this film will easily overshadow it. The cast, consisting of Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, among others, looks fantastic! I'm not sure it'll make much of a splash the week before ROGUE ONE hits, but I'm hoping the full trailer will give us something to get excited about!

NOCTURNAL ANIMALS will hit theaters on December 9, 2016.
