"What I believe is that good things come to those who work their asses off, and that good people who reach the top of the mountain didn't just fall there," Jake Gyllenhaal's character Lou Bloom proclaims in the latest Nightcrawler trailer.

Lou and his camera crew are "nightcrawlers" -- people who rush to murder scenes, fires and vehicular crashes in order to present the footage to the public for profit. Nightcrawler debuts in theaters on Oct. 17.
