Plot

Davis (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) is a successful banker working with investments. He struggles and does his best to succeed after losing his wife – she dies in a tragic car accident. His father-in-law named Phil (played by Chris Cooper) is quite a hard man giving him too much pressure. Despite that, Davis continues to unravel. David writes a complaint letter to a vending machine, which first looks like an ordinary thing. But this very first letter becomes just a start for a series of letters containing shocking personal admissions. A customer service representative, Karen (played by Naomi Watts) starts paying attention to these letters. Karen and Davis have much in common – both from emotional and from the financial point of view. The main characters start feeling some sort of connection between each other. Karen and her son Chris (played by Judah Lewis) help Davis rebuild his life. The first important step to it is the demolition of everything he used to live with in the past.

INTERESTING

Judah Lewis, who plays Naomi Watts’ son in the film is acting for the first time in his life.

Vallee has already directed “Dallas Buyers Club” and “Wild.” Last October the U.S. rights to “Demolition” were bought by Fox Searchlight while still being in the process of creation in New York.

Gyllenhaal is also participating in two more potentially successful films created in collaboration with The Weinstein Company. The first project is “Southpaw” – a boxing drama planned for July 24. The second one is “Everest” a mountaineering drama planned for September 18.

The film’s screenplay appeared in the 2007 Blacklist – a special movie list of the “most liked”, “most wanted”, but yet unmade scripts.

This is the third time when Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Cooper work in collaboration. They acted together in ‘Jarhead’ and ‘October Sky’.
