Spider-Man's Jake Gyllenhaal stars in trailer for Netflix thriller

Spider-Man: Far From Home's Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the first look at upcoming Netflix thriller The Guilty.

The new film, which is based on the Danish Sundance drama Den Skyldige, sees Gyllenhaal reunite with his Southpaw director Antoine Fuqua for a tense new drama that's been written by True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto.

Gyllenhaal stars as 911 call operator Joe Bayler as he tries to save a caller he believes is in grave danger.

Over the course of a single morning, Joe embarks on a desperate hunt for answers as he races to save the woman who called 911 in the guise of speaking to her child, only for her abductor to realise what she's doing.

"I'm sorry, I have to hang up," the woman says in the trailer, before adding: "I'm going to die."

What to Read Next

With little information to go on, however, and limited help from law enforcement, whose resources are reduced due to a forest fire, Joe soon discovers that nothing about this call is as it seems, and facing the truth is the only way out.

As the trailer warns: "There's more to the story than meets the eye."

Netflix

Alongside Gyllenhaal, The Guilty features an all-star cast that includes Peter Sarsgaard, Riley Keough, Paul Dano, Ethan Hawke and Umbrella Academy's David Castañeda.

Byron Bowers, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Bill Burr, Christina Vidal, Adrian Martinez, Beau Knapp and Edi Patterson all also star.

Last year, it was confirmed that The Guilty had been picked up by Netflix, with the film getting a limited cinema release in September before it is made available to stream on the service from October 1.

The Guilty premieres on Netflix on October 1.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. Spider-Man: No Way Home has a December 17, 2021 release date.
