EDITORS NOTE - THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE<br/> <br />It's Jake Gyllenhaal as you've never seen him before.<br/> <br />After his standout performances in "Donnie Darko" and Oscar-nominated turn in "Brokeback Mountain", the actor gets evil.<br/> <br />In the music video for French band The Shoes, Gyllenhaal is a serial killer targeting hipsters in London's uber trendy east end.<br/> <br />Band members Guillaume Briere and Benjamin Lebeau say the actor was the consummate professional.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Guillaume Briere From The Shoes, saying (French):<br/> <br />"He's impressive in the way he captured the essence of the role. I mean, he didn't have to do a thousand takes, because he was very quickly in the moment, with the right expressions."<br/> <br />The music video for the single "Time To Dance" sees Gyllenhaal going to night clubs and afterparties slashing and killing his way through them.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Guillaume Briere From The Shoes, saying (English):<br/> <br />"People ask questions about this video, and people wonder, 'What's this?'. We don't play music on the video, we are not in the video, it's a bit mysterious, you know? And I think it's a good way to touch people."<br/> <br />The video has been criticised for its violent nature, including one scene where Gyllenhaal brutally murders people with a fencing sword.<br/> <br />But Briere says they were aiming for beauty, not braun.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Guillaume Briere From The Shoes, saying (English):<br/> <br />"We just want to make a beautiful movie, you know? And this is a 'film noir', it's not as violent as that."<br/> <br />Gyllenhaal's next movie "End of Watch" is set for release in September.<br/> <br />The Shoes' single and their album "Crack My Bones" are out now.<br/> <br />Cindy Martin, Reuters
