The Wrap ranks the year's Top 10 trailer songs, and Nightcrawler lands at number two with "Faith in Love" by CSS:
“Nightcrawler” has a darkness to it. The trailer emits a sense that we're going on a journey of transformation. There are layers to the song, which has an epic feel that somehow befits Dan Gilroy's indie movie, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a crime scene photographer. It would've been real easy to overlook the music in this trailer but The Wrap prides itself on finding the diamonds in the rough — and this song is a jagged gem. But don't take our word for it…
“As a film, ’Nightcrawler' is bold, off-centered and unique. The tricky part was finding a trailer song with similar attributes. Working closely with the ‘Nightcrawler’ filmmakers, we took that direction to Buddha Jones’ music supervisor Pete Hasty. He brought us several options and we all chose ‘Faith in Love’ from CSS. Everyone agrees that it captures the free-wheeling, brash intensity of the movie and it's also a great anthem for Jake's character, Louis Bloom. On top of that, we love the driving energy that it infuses in the trailer,” said Jason Cassidy, president of marketing at Open Road.
What other Jake movies have had memorable songs? Jarhead, of course. I forgot it opens with "Don't Worry." It's more famous, of course, for Kanye's "Jesus Walks:"
Moonlight Mile starts out with David Gray and "The Light" and then uses Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight:"
Of course the movie takes its name from the Rolling Stones song that plays over this behind-the-scenes video of the making of the movie:
Jake is so young!
Brothers features "Never Say Never" by The Fray and "Bad," one of my favorite U2 songs:
Like Nightcrawler, End of Watch's trailer song wasn't well known. It's called "In the City," by Kevin Rudolf:

Mmmm
I love the smell of Dastan in the morning.
Entertainment Tonight finally aired their piece on Prince of Persia (not before their website released a somewhat different clip earlier in the day).
Here's the earlier clip - for comparison and for accent-uation :)
It's always better to see Jake in action - we've been too long without that.
And how great to finally see this shot of the PoP set in Morocco in all its glory. I feel like we practically lived on that set this past summer.
I wonder if this scene was filmed the same day as the Reese set visit.
You can see where the leather straps left their mark on his biceps as well as the armor leaving marks on his chest in this pic.
Jake giving Gemma the stink eye.
And being charming and funny.
The Jesus look. It's growing on me.
And while we're on the topic of on-set Jake, I can't tell you how giddy I was when I noticed IHJ had posted a bookend to this Moonlight Mile set pic.
I have driven over that street more times than I can remember. Nice to see a different angle from this new/old onset pic.

Moonlight Serenade
Happy 50th to the Smurfs
Who knew the Smurfs have been around for so long? Or that anyone would really care? We can't let such a momentous occasion pass without our favorite bit of Smurf philosophy. From Donnie Darko:
Moonlight Mile is one of my favorite Jake films. I curse myself for not paying more attention at the time. Not only because they filmed outside of Boston and I missed the opportunity to see Jake up close and personal. (Felicia was even closer!)
I wish I'd been aware of the movie so I could have heard and read what Jake's costars had to say about him. We know from the commentary that Jake and Dustin got along famously. I found an old Charlie Rose show in which Susan talks a little about Jake. Well, gushes is more like it. It's just a few minutes, but she obviously thinks very highly of Jake Gyllenhaal!
(The Jake mention comes about halfway through, after she corrects Charlie on the pronunciation of Gyllenhaal!)
BTW, they have an extensive video backlog on the Charlie Rose site. So if you never saw Ang and Heath discussing BBM, you can watch it on the site. Oh how I wish Jake had been in on that interview.
IHJ put up some Moonlight Mile stills the other day, and that's what got me on the MM kick. Despite all the brown, Jake looks gorgeous.
Jake walking a route very familiar to one Fluorescent Lamp!
Much to my surprise, I really enjoyed Jake and Ellen Pompeo together.
IHJ posted some more pics of Jake from yesterday, basically the same but from a different angle. I like the composition of this one. Typical California: Gorgeous movie star, palm trees and paparazzi.
And in the reflection, the one pap looks like a monster or someone in a HazMat suit!
