Nocturnal Animals

The cast list is continuing to grow for Tom Ford’s feature NOCTURNAL ANIMALS with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Michael Shannon now on board the project.

NOCTURNAL ANIMALS already has the man-in-demand Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams cast, which is based on the novel Tony and Susan and now Johnson and Shannon are confirmed as the new members. Johnson is largely know for his role in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and GODZILLA and Shannon can next be seen in the highly anticipated BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE.

NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, is Ford’s follow-up to his acclaimed debut feature A SINGLE MAN. The fashion designer-turned-director’s new film is based on Austin Wright’s 1993 novel, and it is a story that is told in two parts. Part one centres on a woman (Adams) who receives a mysterious package form her ex-husband, whom she divorced 20 years ago. The package contains a book manuscript written by her ex, who wants her opinion on the story.

The second part is the story from the manuscript, which centres on a man (Gyllenhaal) whose blissful family vacation abruptly turns violent.

With Gyllenhaal involved, it certainly makes the film that bit more intriguing as he has done well over recent years in his diverse and rather daring choice of films – many of which have required astonishing physical transformations. The actor was superb in Denis Villeneuve’s thrillers PRISONERS and ENEMY and he looked like a completely different person after he lost a lot of weight for his role in NIGHTCRAWLER. Gyllenhaal can be seen now in the boxing movie SOUTHPAW playing the role of Billy Hope – and he certainly looks every inch the boxer. 

Everest
Jake Gyllenhaal will next be seen on the big screen in EVEREST.

Next up for Gyllenhaal is in the disaster movie EVEREST, which arrives in cinemas September 18th and he also has DEMOLITION which will open up the Toronto International Film Festival. 

Michael Shannon has also been hard at work on projects and we will next see him alongside Andrew Garfield in the upcoming drama 99 HOMES, as well as the gay rights drama FREEHELD with Julianne Moore and Ellen Page

Currently, NOCTURNAL ANIMALS is in pre-production and will be filmed in LA.
