In the new trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s upcoming movie DEMOLITION it shows the classic case of sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone…
This is certainly the case for Gyllenhaal’s character as he takes on the role of a grieving investment banker, David in the upcoming feature.
A new trailer has been unveiled by Fox Searchlight Pictures, showing the 34-year-old actor struggling to rebuild his life after losing his wife in a fatal car crash.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays a grieving widow in DEMOLITION.
The clip begins with the suit-wearing star writing a letter of complaint to a vending machine company after failing to receive a packet of peanut M&Ms he had so badly wanted.
We discover that the snack time incident came minutes after his tragedy, leading him to divulge countless private details about his life and loss. This is only the beginning of the New Yorker’s meltdown…
The tragedy has taken its toll on Gyllenhaal’s character.
His letter inevitably catches the attention of a troubled customer service representative, Karen, played by Naomi Watts.
Naomi Watts’ characters forms an unlikely bond.
The unlikely pair form a bond, and with the help of Karen’s son, they put the pieces of Davis’ puzzled life back together.
This includes fixing his torn-down home but is not without the disapproval of Davis’ father-in-law (Chris Cooper).
The film is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, who has helmed films such as DALLAS BUYERS CLUB and WILD.
DEMOLITION hits UK cinemas on April 29th.
