Anyone else wish to see a remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal?

If you have seen the movie Nightcrawler, you will know that Jake Gyllenhaal can do a great job if this movie is to have a remake.

Now I understand that it's not the kind of movies that Hollywood studios like to have remakes for, but the idea popped in my mind and I just wanted to share this thought..

What do you think guys?

P.S By the way, Wonderful performance by Michael Douglas and the forever genius Robert Duvall..

NO MORE REMAKES! Why do all movies have to be remade?

Maybe, I think Gyllenhaal could pull it off. He is especially great at dark dramas.

NO! Do not.....remake Falling Down! It’s a classic.

No one's going to make a movie like this today.
Today the protagonist would only be killing acceptable targets - white cis-gender males, Trump supporters. Maybe some Jews.

This movie and its tropes have faded into the ether.

In today's society we have mass shooters

Not really, not a big fan of remakes. But if they did I think Gyllenhaal is too young looking and pretty. Matt Damon would make an interesting choice?
