Exclusive: Antoine Fuqua and Jake Gyllenhaal talk The Guilty and working together again

Coming out this week from Netflix is its upcoming thriller The Guilty, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The film will be In Select Theaters September 24 and on Netflix October 1.

The film is based on the Gustav Moller-directed Danish drama Den Skyldige that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Gyllenhaal and Fuqua first teamed on the 2015 boxing drama, Southpaw.
