From the Press Release:
Finding a group of freelance camera crews who film crashes, fires, murder and other mayhem, Lou (Gyllenhaal) muscles into the cut-throat, dangerous realm of nightcrawling – where each police siren wail equals a possible windfall and victims are converted into dollars and cents. Aided by Rene Russo (Thor, Yours Mine & Ours) as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story in Nightcrawler.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo head up a talented cast that includes Bill Paxton (Million Dollar Arm, Edge of Tomorrow), Michael Papajohn (Get on Up, The Bourne Legacy) and Marco Rodriguez (Due Date, Million Dollar Baby).
