Prisoners Unlocks Two Stills: Hugh Jackman Confronts Jake Gyllenhaal
by Joel D Amos at . CommentsAs teased in the Prisoners trailer, Hugh Jackman has had his child snatched from inside his house. Jake Gyllenhaal is the detective charged with finding her. But, with his youth and inexperience, not to mention his tattooed appearance, Jackman is not so sure he’s the man to help locate his missing daughter.
Warner Bros. is previewing its fall slate, and yesterday revealed new The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug photos, and today we’ve got two new pics from Prisoners. First up, is a shot that captures a scene with the two leads, Jackman and Gyllenhaal. Doesn't look like the conversation is going too well!
The film is directed by Denis Villeneuve and also stars Oscar nominees Terrence Howard, Viola Davis and winner Melissa Leo.
Our second preview pic shows that Jackman and his family are not the only ones affected by this kidnapping. Howard and Davis’ daughter too was snatched and both families are desperate to get their children back before the clock runs out.
Paul Dano portrays a man who police believe is the kidnapper. But as they detain him, they find he’s clean. Jackman feels differently, and by the end of the movie, he may either be his daughter’s best chance at survival, or the key to her demise.
Prisoners lands in theaters September 20.
