NIGHTINGALE Trailer and Poster: David Oyelowo Spins Out of Control

HBO Films has released the first trailer for Nightingale, a new movie from the producers of 12 Years A Slave and Selma that stars David Oyelowo as the only character in a single location throughout the film. Oyelowo plays an Iraq War veteran who starts to go crazy, and though he's apparently the only character that appears on screen, it does seem as if he has a few phone calls to other characters in the film. And man, he must really hate that candlestick on his dinner table, huh?

All kidding aside, this looks like a fascinating experiment and Oyelowo (who was absolutely tremendous in Selma) definitely has the chops to hold our attention by himself, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Thankfully we don't have to wait too long: Nightingale premieres on HBO on Friday, May 29th.
