First trailer for Wildlife starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal: Based on the book by Richard Ford #book2movie

Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal star in Wildlife

I read the book Wildlife by Richard Ford a couple of weeks back and shared my review here. Now there’s a trailer for the film starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal and from my pov, the tone is an exact match for the book: dark and disturbing, haunted with sadness.

Put Wildlife—a short and powerful 177 pages—on your TBR pile. Like On Chesil Beach, Wildlife, written in 1990, has much to say about our relationships today.

Directed by actor/writer Paul Dano, Wildlife is set for release on October 19th. The young man playing the couple’s son is Ed Oxenbould, an Australian actor you may have seen in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day as well as Comedy Bang Bang. Bill Camp has the thankless task of taking on the role of the unlikeable Warren Miller.

Are you as excited to see this as I am?
