10 Awesome Movie Trailer Moments That Were Cut From The Film

Nightcrawler is one of those rare movies where everyone involved seems to make every correct creative choice, ensuring the end result is an uncommonly fierce thriller with an Oscar-worthy central performance from Jake Gyllenhaal.

The film's primary trailer featured a memorable moment which sadly didn't make the cut, though - a mantra-like refrain spoken repeatedly throughout the trailer by Lou Bloom (Gyllenhaal), "If you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy a ticket."

Though Bloom says the line once at the start of the movie, the increasingly intense repetition of "You have to make the money to buy a ticket," featured in several scenes during the trailer, is nowhere to be seen in the final cut.

It's entirely possible that writer-director Dan Gilroy felt that the repetition would seem excessively phoney and contrived at feature-length, as though he were trying to will an iconic movie line into existence. But considering what a line it is, he certainly would've been forgiven the indulgence.
