9. Demolition
Release date: To be announced. What's it about? Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi Watts and Chris Cooper star in Demolition, a romantic drama due later in 2015. Not much is known about the plot at this stage of development, although it is understood that Gyllenhaal will be playing an investment banker struggling with grief after the passing of his wife. What makes it award-worthy? Romantic dramas aren't often in the running for awards, but with such a talented cast on board and Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyer's Club) in the director's chair it wouldn't be surprising to see this cropping up at a few film festivals in 2015. It's about time Gyllenhaal picked up some awards - it seems as if the actor can only get better the more he works.
