U3


IHJ posted some photos of Jake Gyllenhaal at a restaurant with Bono and The Edge last year. The expressions are priceless.

Edge: "Who is this guy?"

Jake: "I don't know if I believe that..."

"Really, Bono? Really?"

"Okay, tell me more."

"Don't make me spit out my wine!"

"I love you."

"Next!"


You can Jake and Anne's arrival and some snippets from their press conference:



And here's an old interview with Jake and Anne from Today Australia. The first part seems familiar, but the "movie star" stuff seems new. But who can remember all of them at this point!

You can watch more of their arrival and a good chunk of the press conference here.

Further down memory lane, here's Jake on Conan, talking about Bono singing "Send in the Clowns:"

  1. Love the captions and the looks on Jake's face, ha, ha!!!

    I adore Jake and Annie together, perfection. And congratulations are in order for her and her BF I hear along with Maggie and Peter expecting, Jake is going to be an Uncle again!!

    Didn't get a chance to wish everyone a happy T-Day on the previous poast, I hope everyone enjoyed spending times with their loved ones.

  3. What was Jake promoting when he was on Conan?

    I loved to see Jake and Anne together, they have wonderful onscreen chemistry. I hope they work together again sometime.

    I loved Jake's expressions.

  4. Two of my favorite people,Jake and Bono.

    It's hard to remember all the LAOD promotion, but I specifically remember two things: It was fun and Jake looked hot as hell!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Paula C., I agree with every single thing you've said! : )

    Two of UV's favorite people - or should I say three!

    This post reminds me. He was Australia in early December of last year wrapping press junkets for LAOD, then Golden Globes & Oscars, then doing press for SC, which took him to Rome and Berlin,(hope I didn't miss a city) and left there to go directly to Iceland. All in less than five months. He comes home and begins prep for EOW in L.A.

  6. Fine images. And Jake and Anne are great together.

    I hope End of Watch get a distributor. And I hope it go to film festivals.

  7. Love seeing Jake with my favorite band:)

  9. Jake does have a very expressive face, love him and U2!!

    You have a great memory Bobbyanna, I can't believe that it's been a year.

    Jake and Anne were the best thing about LAOD, hope they get a chance to work together again.

    I'm a major Bono fan , what a great post!

    It must be so cool to get to hang out with one of your favorite bands.

    Looks like he had a great time with them in OZ, love seeing Jake and Anne together:)

  11. Looks like Jake might be back in LA:

    Bob got the Silver Lake hunk spotting of the week this AM! Jake Gyllenhaal AND Scott Speedman at the same place...my two faves. Jealous.

  12. Belated happy Thanksgiving, Paula! Glad you liked the captions. As Daniela said, he could do a silent picture!

    Lily, Jake was promoting Jarhead in that Conan appearance.

    Paula C, I have those same recollections of the Love promotion. Funny that :)

    Two of UV's favorite people - or should I say three!

    You got it, Bobbyanna. Love all three, though Bono is the man. It's my favorite band, too, Mary. And sass, glad to know you're a U2 fan.

    Chica, we'll have to do a Best Of for Jake's expressions post one of these days.

    OONP, one of the things I do envy about celebrity life is the opportunity to meet your idols. Jake definitely takes advantage of that!

    Monica, I hope EoW finds a distributor, too. And that it's good enough for the festival circuit.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Dani, Spielberg said that Jake looks like a silent movie actor because of the expressions he do. He can act with his eyes.
    But unfortunately he's not in The Artist (I want so much to see this movie).

    UV, It makes me worried, because the movie quality is important for it to find a distributor.

    It would be great to see Anne and Jake working again, but would like to see him working with Michelle. I remember he said this at the time of laod.
    His dream is to work with Michelle and Ryan Gosling.

    I think it's in Silver Lake where is the studio of David Ayer.

    ReplyDelete
  14. UV,I thought it was strange that all the NYC sightings stopped a couple of days ago. The L.A. tweeters will really have to get on the ball to compete with the NYC tweeters! LOL! : )

    I don't think EoW will have any problems finding a distributor. I'll be very interested to see if we get any feedback from the early screenings.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I didn't know that Speilberg saod that about Jake Monica, it's so true!

    I'm a big fan of Bono/U2 and I'm jealous that Jake gets to hang out with them!

    Speaking of Jake and his favorite bands, I think I heard that Mumford and Sons received a grammy nomination!

    I adore Jake and Anne together, would love for him to work with Michelle again too.

    So Jake is back in L.A! I remember a Jake and Scott Spedman sighting this summer, I think it was at some party with Busy.

    David Ayer's production Co is in Silver Lake Monica, let's hope that it's a sign that EOW that they are working on getting a distributor.

  18. Tweety, this comment is on the DVD of Moonlight Mile. Spielberg saw the film and told this to director.

    Dani, I agree with you.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Jake face would have been perfect for silent films Daniela, it's so expressive!

    This was such a fun promo. Jake and Anne had so much fun promoting it and I was so happy when they both received GG nominations for it.

    I hope SC is remembered, so far it hasn't been mentioned in any of the Awards so far.

    ReplyDelete
  20. There were plenty of moments in BBM where Jake said more with his very expressive eyes than most people say with words. I think he would have been great in the Artist.

    Lily

  21. I forgot about that Spielberg line, Monica. It would be nice to see Jake in a Spielberg film, even if I'm not always a fan.

    and he's even better-looking in person, if that's possible

    I hope that if Jake and Anne decide to do another film together they get a better script to work with because they have amazing chemistry.

    Jake sure loves his CZ's, both on the East and West Coast!

  26. Love the pics with U2, Steph has some pics at IHJ of Jake out & about in BH on Saturday, The beard is in full force but unlike recent snaps he's smiling, which was lovely to see on a cold, rainy day in the UK.

    its cold and still a little windy in LA too.

  28. This year is going by so fast, can't believe the holidays are here already!

    I crack up at Jake's expressions, they can be funny, goofy and adorable sometimes all at once :)

    And speaking of adorable, he and Anne are just that, loved their LAOD promotion more than the movie although their chemistry sire saved it for me.

    I see that Jake found his way back home to L.A. and is hitting his usual CZ's, thanks UV and everyone here for all the updates!

  29. Thanks, T. It is good to see him smile. Sadly, those pants made the trip with Jake!

    I went over to BOM to see the Top 100 movies.
    I love lists....Source code is #59 in the top 100 movies of 2011. YAY!!
    Don't mean to bring my babbler buds down but I feel really close to this group. I'm having a PET scan and a CT scan with Contrasts at 10AM in the morning. Fingers crossed!

    Herman Cain left the campaign...Trump will moderate the next debate...Romney changes positions every 15 minutes...Newt is on top. Unbelievable.

  38. I saw the photos. He looks upset with the paparazzi.

    I am with the DVD of Love and Other Drugs. The chemistry of Anne and Jake still amazing.
    It was fun to see some extras. And the movie, of course.

    I like this comedy, despite some errors, especially Josh Gad. It is fun. Jake and Anne make the film fun.
    Unlike Bridsmaids. Boring movie, I did not give a smile.
    Melissa McCarthy does nothing great in this movie. And she can still be nominated for an Oscar. Absurd.

    I'm not a good day. My dog ​​is sick.

    No im not. What is that for a site? I work at the NYC airport i saw them while I whas at work.

    ReplyDelete
  44. on another site it said Jake had missed his flight so maybe that explains some why he wasnot in a good mood

    ReplyDelete
  45. I saw that mary! Poor guy looked frustrated.

    Guess I'll just "wait & see" regarding "Kendra's" info. She certainly knows a lot about the girl. : ) Jake's been pretty private about who he dates.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wanted to add that something must be wrong with my Google images search capability, bcz when I googled the name of this "model/dancer" I found nothing, which is odd, but then I spelled it with an "e" instead of an "i" and discovered someone with a career in "adult entertainment".

    So I'm beginning to doubt "kendra", just a little. ; )

    ReplyDelete
  47. No..I dont know her personal and even dont know Jake personal. I checked them both in when they where catch there flight at jfk. Her Last name I cant say. Salina ( whit a A on the end) Rose is her middel name. You only can find her on the internet whit her last name. I cant tell it cause I can loose my job if I do. she whas a model on the victoria secret show. more I cant say cause i dont know her.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Do you have a link, kendra?

    ReplyDelete
  49. No, I'm NOT Robin, I know not a robin. I use a blackberry type, with such sites is just very difficult because my phone does not recognize all the characters. he is looking for a word and makes some of them own. I can not change that because I do not know how.
    I'm not active on other sites, sometimes I check this out and that's it. There are lots of tweets about Jake and this lady, certainly one of the first three weeks back.

    ReplyDelete
  50. FYI: Jake was tweeted riding subways, also in the Union Square area, around 14th, and he was also tweeted @ Columbia University campusarea on Tuesday,
    November 29th.

    Since this is consistent with his usual activites, I doubt he was @ the airport leaving, Monday November 28th.

    I hate to sound like a stickler for details, but there's so many lies and exaggerations printed on the internet, in magazines, on gossip blogs, etc. and confusing inaccurate stuff.

    I'm always comfortable with what 's on GB, bcz all of us try very hard to get accurate information as much as possible.

    So,"Kendra," I'll adopt a wait and see about this recent information about a Victoria's Secret Model, and that's about as much as I can graciously say. : )

    As Chica and others have said, one day he'll find someone and settle down, but I hope he having a great time while he's "searching." : ) He was mentioned with several different girls in NYC, so he's obviously dating.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi, I just want 2 say. that it is true what they are saying about Jake dating the Victoria secret Model SALINA ROSE.( i tought she whas a model for the brand DIOR??) They where seen together Yesterday in San Francisco in a coffee cafe whit two other PPL.(Unknown how they are). but Jake and Salina were holding hands when they left the Coffee place. She whas wearing a black dress and he whas wearing brown shoes matching whit his brown pants and his grey sweather.

  53. Kendra/Kimberly - what you say sounds plausible but along with Robine on another page you seem to have the same issues with your phones inserting "h" into was. I can understand "whit" "with". You sound like the same person! Are you confusing this person with Izabel Goulart?

    ReplyDelete
  54. I would like to see a link.

    Yes, Izabel Goulart was someone who was mentioned with Jake on Page Six following th VS Show on 11/9th- 11/10? She lives in NYC.

    Now you are sharing some "new" information? Please supply a link. It's not that I'm unwilling to believe Jake is in SF visiting with some beautiful girl, but even when we read the random tweets about basement music performances in Nashville we had some verification.

    GB had it first and it was correct. Almost constant tweets about Jake in NYC, and at airports but they somehow missed this? I am sorry. I will need to verify it before I will believe it.

  60. there are more Chantal Lindsey's in the world. diont forget that not ennyone comes from america! I find it annoying when Jake Gets a date that there always are people who are jaloes to the fact that they have heard or could not find anything. everyone knows that jake would like keeps his relationship private not comes out that quickly with this kind of news. just give him the time and love. to accuse everyone at some point for a few spelling errors which I I do see in everyone. Perhaps kendra is just 1 person and that kimberly also another. just because they both make mistakes does not mean that they person are 1and the same. just sad, I see this evrytime it happen again in the other blogs that the one bright spot can not when it comes who first discovered something new., on other blogs they talk also about Jake and that Lady salina, even on facebook, myspace, twitter. give jake just time, he will be out with her at his side as he himself is ready for it. since now more I think the paparazzi is more on to jake now when this cames out in the open. so grown up. its about jake and not about who the person is who typ messages. Like me, im not from america so prob I have made some misstakes here and there. so what?

  61. This facebook account is from this Chantal lindsey and the twitter account is linked to this facebook page. so first check your info, and not based on a name that allot of people use on the net. second the twitter account belongs to this woman Chantal Lindsey like I said. the message on twitter about that see see jake whit that friend. is from this woman. check your info for the next time. the blog is dated from 2008. it sounds to me its from a littel girl how is a fan of Chantal ore that guy.

    "Ally," I agree with you that it's irritating how people pounce on any news of Jake with a woman and immediately declare it false. I don't think that's what was happening here. Because it is also suspicious when someone pops up out of nowhere and posts news of this nature.

    We'll know soon enough whether this is real info or just nonsense.

  76. So get friended a look for them, anon.

    Altho,thinking about it logically: How would a person even know enough to ask about them? You can't get access to what you don't even know exists.

    And if you were the one who had them in a locked account,what would you do?

    I don't believe any of this. Not for a minute. Way too many inconsistencies. It's a fantasy, IMO. I certainly believe he's dating, but that's all. I can wait and see.

    (If I "model" some Victoria's Secret underwear, or something from Dior, or Tiffany, @a local fashion show @ the mall, does that make me a model for them? LOL!) Just sayin'.

    Do a real internet search. Check out the VS models. Google images for names. It's really not that damned mysterious. Logic. Common sense.

    GB/UV works hard to be consistent, and reliable, and respectful of Jake & of all of us. Getting a "scoop" on information is worthless if the information's a lie. Lies about Jake are a dime a dozen. it doesn't make the person doing it special or unique. Why start another rumor that's eventually proved wrong. It always comes out, and the person who started it looks ridiculous.

    There's lots of garbage out here, internet, tabloids, blogs, etc. social network sites. GB/UV has always set a pretty high standard.

    I don't know Jake. But if I take what I do know about him, his lifestyle, his sense of privacy, all the things he's interested in, committed to, etc. put it together with common sense, and it's pretty reliable.

    Moreso than some stranger with several fake names. So I will wait and see.

  77. Someone posted this on tumblr:

    So this particular wonderfully attractive man, believe it or not, was standing in front of me around lunch time at a sushi place in Hollywood yesterday. I think my heart stopped for a second when he turned around to see who was standing behind him, because who really expects to see Jake Gyllenhaal when they’re out getting lunch for the rest of their office on an ordinary Friday afternoon, but I hope my smile covered up my shock. Still can’t believe I saw him. I really love this city.

    Oh, and just in case you were wondering, he’s even more gorgeous in person.

    The legit tweets/FB sightings places Jake in SF, solo. If you saw Jake and the brunette on 11/28, why did it take you a week to post it here?

    There was one tweet of Jake and some brunette in Brooklyn that was posted , you saw that and decided to spin some very bad fanfic.

    If you are indeed Robine from IHJ, then you attempted to do this before on IHJ when Jake ws with Taylor. If I recall you claimed that the pics of them from US weekly was partof a commercial they were shooting and you claimed that you saw the pics of the filming that you failed to produce.

    In this case you will fail to produce pics of Jake and this girl at Maggies as you claim on IHJ because they don't exist.

    Now run along now.

  82. can we now just Talk about jake? starts to get bored. we'll see if jake has something with that woman.
    also very annoying that there are so many people jealous of other findings that it's just sad. There are several tweets on twitter to read that jake is spotted with this lady last month, that they had a dinner, or just spotted while they walked together somewhere. well and?
    Its her Right to put her Facebook on privet.not Only for her but also for Jake. There are more stalkers dan fans how will add her. can you blame her? we will then read more tweets as he is back. everyone but each other and compare do or anyone the same person is even worse, only because some here can't find the tweets or no request or accept are on her fb account. don't forget that this blog is there to talk about jake and not everyone that has just a little luck with finding that one spelt. I say add her try on FB but not behave as a possessed fan of jake because then you know already that she is not going to add you.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Of course she isn't going to add us Robine, LOL!! But she had no problem adding you after you saw her private tweets!!!

    I suspect that you made up that FB or you had a friend did it, if not why not just post the pics since you saw them already.

  85. About the Railroad Revival Tour DVD:
    Many of you have also been asking about a DVD in reference to the Emmett Malloy helmed film project looking into the first tour. Hours and hours (and hours) of amazing footage has been cut together and submitted to very select film festivals.

    I remember the story of the comercial. hahah it was funny. Like this story, that is sad and funny at the same time.
    Please have more respect for members such as ONP. She is a longtime member and was always respectful to Jake.

  87. Either the PC ate my earlier comment or UV deleted it (hope not).

    There's been enough said about Jake and that mysterious brunette. We'll have to wait and see, if it's true we'll know sooner or later.

    I'm still wondering what Jakelandia is? Would somebody be able to tell me, please? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yea as Paula said this is getting a little ridulous who knows what true or whats not we wont know for sure till Jake says something or we get some reliable pics of them together if true im happy for Jake but in the meantime we will just have to wait and see

  89. Hi MrsJG. I didn't delete your comment. Blogger sometimes does that. Not sure what Jakelandia is. Did someone mention that?

    And yes, wherever Jake is, with whomever, hope he's having fun.

  102. Got this really nice account from tablehopper.com in SF:

    "According to this tweet from Bi-Rite Market, ~Jake Gyllenhaal~ dashed into the market this morning: “Hold the phone, @jakegyllenhal just came in to the Market! Unfortunately, he only bought waters :-( Wonder what he’s in town for??”

    "A follow-up tweet about the sighting that was sent to Eater’s twitter account mentions seeing Jakey at nopa on Sunday night. After confirming with the nopa crew, I learned he sat at the communal table! I know, this is one of those moments when you’d really loooove communal seating. He was reportedly very kind to the server, who said he was really cool and down to earth. (And don’t forget hot!) He had the fried Brussels spouts, avocado salad, and chicories salad (yeah, that’s a lot of salad), plus a glass of wine. He departed when the restaurant got really busy."

  104. it's a shame when someone has nothing better to do than spread false rumors/lies/etc.

    I wish that photo of him with less beard were from now. I miss seeing that gorgeous face under that facial hair.

    Is it possible he is doing something with Alice Waters for Edible Schoolyard? She is based in SF.

    I would love to have been at the communal table with him.

  105. You know, it's funny, but all things considered, there really aren't that many truly dishonest people posting on twitter.

    I've seen lots of jokey tweets about Jake in Minneapolis, or Kansas, but mostly, people use twitter the way twitter was intended. I try to verify as much as possible anything I find. I think most of us do.

    Plus we're keen observers of the habits of Jake. : ) So finding him on a train going all over the Southwest with his favorite band, or in a basement in Nashville, or a basketball court at an Austin High School may seem odd just at first, but it's plausible...eventually : )

    ReplyDelete
  106. Monica, I read your post on IHJ, thanks a lot for that.

    Bobbyanna, yes we do create a feeling for Jake and his habits and that kind of helps to keep lies and rumors from real news.

    It was so nice while Jake was in NY to kind of follow him around on twitter. It was never intrusive like paparazzi pictures or had this fake feeling about it.

    I hope that we'll be back to that soon.

    I wish there was something we could do, using Twitter & FB to "spread the word" about Source Code! I haven't seen it mentioned.

    Maybe we should try to contact/lobby Summit Entertainment or the producers, Mark Gordon, etc.? (isn't that the studio?) and e-mail or call or something to contact them & remind them what a good movie it was.

    I'm sure it'll make some critics' top ten lists, but I was hoping it would also get some love from BAFTA, GG, and AMPAS! It was an almost flawless movie. (I couldn't find any flaws, but there might have been a couple...: ))

    Mrs. Jakob, that picture was marked by tags to make that one of those people was Salina Rose.

    The person was creating multiple fake profiles to make it appear that this story is real. But she's so stupid that I could see that everything was being created by the same person.

  117. Thanks to monica! I also sent a PM to Stephanie thanking her. She made a strong statementabout why she was closing it, that really summed up how a lot of us felt.

    You'd think if Mark Gordon's developing a TV series around SC, they'd want to get some attention for the movie right about now. Wonder if there are legal implications?

    I hope that SC doesn't get lost i the awards hoopla, that would be a real shame. That is a good idea Bobbyanna although you would think that nobody should have to remond Summit on what a great film SC is.

    Sass, that news about Obama is very important. It's great to see this kind of progress.

    I saw SC on one Top 10 list. I hope it's on a lot, but I think this is going to be like Zodiac. Lots of praise but no awards. It's a shame.

  121. Twitter has an item @ Dealine H'wood about Jake leaving his longtime manager, Evelyn O'Neill. They emphasized he wasn't leaving CAA(!) but it was bizarre, bcz Evelyn's comments were that the door is "Always open and I hope he comes back...it is what it is... an amicable parting" She said sometimes people want change in their lives. Don't think he's going to sign up with anyone else, but I hate Nikki Finke for her barely concelaled slam about Jake as one of the actors who can't draw an audience. Bitch. (I'm just quoting Donnie Darko.)

    ReplyDelete
  122. Well TY bobbyanna
    It seems Jake is shaking up his management team. Wzup with this person, N.Finke, whose column I just read, intimating that Jake is one of the actors not putting the people in the seats. Day*M she has some nerve. I say Dump all of them and get someone else to rep you ...someone who doesn't doesn't retaliate your leaving by dropping poison pen remarks about you to whomever i.e., an ex-publicist and other people.

    I'd leave all of them but then I am not an actor...it's good to know Jake is making career moves... and Oh NO...says Eileen he's not leaving CAA...oh really??

    George C. just made a remark to some news outlet about his not working hard as an actor. He mentions that he picked tobacco or cotton...now that's hard work...is Jake still being talked about for saying D. Fincher was whatever???

  132. I'm kind of puzzled. CAA is separate from 360. CAA are the ones who send him scripts and get him involved in movie projects. I think his manager would deal with all the other stuff that goes with celebrity.They said he wasn't going to replace her. When I see all the hype some of these guys are getting, and the roles, and magazine covers, etc. and their box office numbers are not good, not nearly as good as Jake's, I get so steamed at Nikki Finke and her nasty digs.

  136. Hello, Leonor. Haven't seen you for a while. I think this is the SC review link you tried to post.

    Monica, I hope the medicine works for your dog. Good luck.

    The difference between an agent and a manager is that a manager looks after all aspects of your career, while an agent gets you work. Managers are more general advisors.

    I think Evelyn was probably the least of all the evils in Jake's team. His publicists are the worst, and his agents have totally failed him. But maybe he's closer to them personally.

    Evelyn is also Reese Witherspoon's manager, so maybe Jake was uncomfortable with that after a while.

    Let's hope this is good news for Jake's career! A fresh start can be a good thing.

    ReplyDelete

  142. It's time for Jake to make changes. IMO it's okay for him to stay away from Social Networks as a private person. But what his PR people have done (or better not done) with his homepage is ridiculous. It's 2011 after all. Any fansite or blog for that matter is better publicity than his own page.

    I hope he'll get to do more fine movies in the future, but I'd also understand if he took some time to himself.

  151. Nikki Finke is anouncing Maggie has left CAA for WME (William Morris Endeavor) which is the big rival of CAA. It's run by the notorious Ari Emanuel. Jeremy Piven's character in Entourage is allegedly based on Ari. He's Rahm Emanuel's brother. Rahm is a former Congressman, Obama White House chief or staff, & MAyor of Chicago. Leo Di Caprio is also repped by WME. It's definitely top tier. Maggie is keeping her manager. Who is not Evelyn O'Neill.

    Peter Sarsgaard Writing and Directing an Adaptation of 'Born to Run'

    This past week we saw him have fun as the villainous Dr. Hector Hammond in Green Lantern, but now the Garden State and An Education actor Peter Sargaard is looking to go behind the camera for his next film venture. Hitfix (via Bleeding Cool) has learned that the actor will make his directorial debut with an adaptation of Christopher McDougall's adventurous autobiographical book Born to Run. The nonfiction book follows the author as he finds a tribe of the world’s greatest distance runners learns their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is just wrong. More below!
    Here's a more detailed chronicle of what McDougall experiences in the book:

    "Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder."

    Sarsgaard will also write the adaptation, and while he had initially wanted to star in the film as Caballo Blanco, his desire to direct the film seems to have made him comfortable taking both jobs. However, his brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal may end up taking a starring role in the film. The actor has apparently been spotted running around Hollywood Hills in the barefoot shoes which McDougall made famous and the author himself say Gyllenhaal is involved in some capacity. Of course, he could just be producing the film and likes to stay in shape in a crazy challenging way. Super producing team and couple Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce the film and Sarsgaard is currently looking for financing. Sounds like an interesting assembly of talent for an adventurous story.

    Hi to everybody, because I have thought that Jake has left his agent and he is transferred to NY to work with Peter to this project

  172. Anon, Jake didn't left his agent, just his manager, although I think it wouldn't hurt if he followed his sister. As for Peter film I have nothing against but I hope Jake is not involved with this one, not on a career level.

  173. Congrats to Maggie for finding a new agent and to Jake for leaving his old manager. I think both siblings decided that it was time for a change. I have to wonder if they conferred with each other. And if Jake will decide to jump ship over to WME. Maybe he is waiting to see how Maggie likes them before he'd make a decision.

    Congrats to Peter for taking the director helm. I remember there being speculation as to whether Jake would do this movie. I doubt it. There was a time I thought he'd do the Joe Namath movie, but now I'd rather he didn't. I would like to see him do another comedy and action is always a good thing. I loved Source Code. I plan to view it this weekend.

    I hope it might get noticed during the awards season

  174. Why Paula c? perhaps I'm wrong , but it seems to me really a beautiful project :)

    ReplyDelete
  175. Methinks that one of the reasons Jake parted with his manager is to avoid projects like Born to Run Anon.

    It sounds like the Namath project and the Armstrong project that went nowhere.

    Now if Jake decides to do some TV then this woulb be Ok because it has made for cable written all over it. Nothing wrong with that but I hope Peter is funding this project himself because I don't think HW is going to give him $$$ to make a movie about someone most people never heard of unless you are a running fanatic.

    It sounds like a vanity project for Peter which is fine and if Jake wants to maybe act as a producer that may be even better, I think he should be looking to direct IMO.

  176. PS: Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are on board to produce according that article but Peter is still looking for financing, I would think that with their names attached that he would have found it but i could be wrong.

    PSS:The script isn't about McDougall as I re-read the article, The script sounds like The Amazing race.

  177. What do you intend with to do some TV? do you mean to produce for the tv or to act for tv? because (without offense for anybody) Jake is too much good for work in some TV show

    ReplyDelete
  178. Anon, maybe it has all the ingredients to be a wonderful project, my point is that i just think that it won't add anything to Jake's career and i rather see him involved in something else, but I love Peter and wish the best for his movie, maybe if it was a documentary and Jake voice it, maybe...

    ReplyDelete
  179. The Lance Armstrong project was never anything Jake was attached to, officially or unofficially. So it is not a project that failed or went off the rails or that he didn't get. He was never supposed to do it.

    Born to Run could be a great movie. But I'd rather see Jake working with great directors on more interesting projects. But who knows. It could be worthwhile. It just doesn't seem promising.

  180. Sometimes when you get "news alerts" for someone, you also get old, recycled information, like this.

    We really don't know what the current status of this project is, or if Marshall or Kennedy is still interested. I don't think much is happening with it right now.

    I know we had this exact same discussion when it was first brought up last year. Peter was also researching a story about some folk/country singer last year. I don't recall the name.

    Peter is also supposed to work in Naomi's movie Very Good Girls, which is still an active project.

    Jake was also once talked about for a movie about a cyclist who rode over the Great Wall of China! There's a lot of "stuff" out here. Not all of it will go anywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  181. I think that a film like that of Peter or also this on the bicyclist on the great wall, would be perfect for Jake, these kind of movie speak of solitary challenges of a man, and it need a great actor to show the whole range of emotions and feelings that a man who wants to complete an enterprise feels, the work the adversities the fear to fail, the joy to succeed, for me it would be a great proof for Jake:)

  182. I agree with anon above, provided that Monica showed us this news about Peter wants to adapt for the screen, I found the main character so interesting, but I still want jake make a very good film before

  183. You never know, what movie will go to be a great movie, as Hoover, for example, on the paper it seemed a masterpiece, instead it has been a big disappointment.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Yes, sometimes it can be otherwise, have seen the first movie that you can not give importance but is then surprised

    ReplyDelete
  185. Maybe The End of Watch will be a great movie and will win a lot of prizes. who knows ? I hope! :)

  189. Jake does not always seem like the most chivalrous guy, so this made me smile:

    FYI: David Denby@ The New Yorker, included Source Code in his top ten movies for 2011.

  191. Jake is too much good for work in some TV show

    I'm not sure about that. For quite some time now I have been of the opinion that he really needs to do SOMETHING to shake up his career as well as his creative juices.... he needs to get out of his CZ. Television is a medium that more easily offers opportunity for experimenting and "out of the box" creative challenges..... just by virtue of the vast variety of genres, formats and styles.

    Televison is hardly the "vast wasteland" of 40 years ago. There are some very high quality series and movies that are every bit as good, and in some cases better, than some of Jake's recent movies.

    I just think he needs to do something unexpected careerwise..... something that makes people go, "Wow! That's Jake Gyllenhaal?!?!". I'm talking guest shots (Mad Men) or an HBO movie.... not becoming a series regular on Two and a Half Men.

    But I'm pretty sure mine is a minority opinion. :)

    ReplyDelete
  192. ETA:
    I just used Mad Men as an example of a very well written, directed and acted series. I didn't mean that, literally, Jake should appear on that particular series.

    Do I get bonus points for the correct usage of "literally"? :)

  193. Jake is back!!! I have to get out and about. My mom ran into JFK Jr. one day at a bus stop...everyone checked him out and left him alone...I love this town.
    If I do see Jake, I would have to drop dead, right in front of him. And since I am close to his Mom's age, maybe he would look me over, feel bad for me and help me get up. Wow!
    Now that is one crazy hot dream/wish.
    I'm still listening to "Weather" by Me'Shell Ndegeocello, *swooon*
    and planning my Jake walkby...lol.
    love you all,
