David Oyelowo Breaks Down in Teaser for HBO's 'Nightingale'

Fans of David Oyelowo are probably still reeling from the crappy treatment his tremendous performance in Selma received from Oscar voters, but here's a little something to take the edge off. You'll be able to get all of the Oyelowo you can handle in Nightingale, his single-location HBO film that puts the acclaimed actor front and center and completely on his own.

The first teaser has been released and it looks like a great showcase for Oyelowo's broad range and intense emotion. Directed by Elliott Lester, the film centers on an Iraq War whose mind begins to unravel bit by bit.

Even at only thirty seconds long the sheer power of the emotions is evident, so get ready for what could be a powerful, disturbing journey. HBO will air Nightingale on May 29th at 9pm.
