According to Film Stage, Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney are going to star in the Way, Way Back. No idea if Sam Rockwell is playing the role Jake might have had. Seems unlikely. Wasn't there an evil stepfather?

Though if AJ is the mother, Rockwell doesn't make sense for the father.

Anyway, no mention of Jake in a current capacity for the film.

UltraViolet said...

For anyone who still hasn't seen, Jake in Bon Appetit.

Viv said...

Does that mean Jake has no film ANOTHER YEAR??Ugh....

What are Jake thinking??Other actors just keep getting new roles month after month.

I am a little pissed and frustrated right now....

Tweety said...

A leaping Jake, what great pics and a great post UV, Happy Leap Year!!

That's disappointing news about Way, Way Back if Jake is no longer attached, that sounded like a really interesting news.

bobbyanna said...

Happy Leap Day!

Disappointing news on the movie project.

Anonymous said...

it's a shame there is no word on what Jake's next project might be. I think this is the longest 'dry' spell we fans have had on getting word on what Jake's next plans are. all we know is he's eating well and spinning.
In NYC

Mary said...

Happy leap day clever post UV hope we get some Jake news real soon

Chica said...

Being a Jake fan means never get too excited hwenhis name is attached to a project, damn!

The plot was familiar ut I liked it, hopefully we will soon hear about a new project.

Love the leaping Jake pics and a happy belated Leap day!

PS: The new blooger comments stink!

UltraViolet said...

Honestly, are they never going to change it back? It's just awful. I assume they did no user testing.

Viv, it is beyond frustrating. I assume Jake is anxious, too. I really hope we hear something soon.

Leaping Jake is fun :)

bobbyanna said...

Well, at least we know he's still in NYC. : )

I don't like this new format either. I wish they'd switch it back.

I saw this on a google alert. Jake is going to be at Lincoln Center for "Celebration of Paul Newman's Dream" event on April 2nd.

http://www.theatermania.com/new-york-city/news/02-2012/jake-gyllenhaal-josh-groban-paul-simon-trisha-year_51463.html

I wonder if it will be telecast?

I wonder if The Way Way Back was part of his former agency, I mean, if the negotiations were broken off after Jake move to WME.

UltraViolet said...

We posted the Paul Newman info weeks ago, but it was nice to see it pop up again.

I don't think the event was broadcast last year.

The movie rumor was only ever that - a rumor. So there's no way to know if Jake was really attached or interested.

Daniela said...

Hiii! beautiful people!

Wow! What great pictures, as Jake does well with movements in photos

Office of Nancy Pelosi said...

The pics are a reminder of how much I enjoyed Pop:)

Jake has been attached to many projects before and then suddenly he wasn't so I don't think it has anything to do with his change with agencies.

Sorry to spam, but this is a link to the play, "Seminar" starring Alan Rickman.

Jake and his mom? That wasn't even worth taking a picture of. It could be anyone walking across the street. I'm glad he's spending time with his mom I just wish the person would have taken a pic of their faces.

Extra said...

I's great that Jake is enjoying New York, as alredy discussed he seems to have a place there.

What is the point of getting pics of their faces anon???

Thanks so much for the Pop pics, too bad that there will not be a sequel to it.

Anonymous said...

so you would know it's them. That pic had to be taken at least 50 feet. If I were that close to a celebrity I would have tried to take a pic of their faces (you might never get the opportunity ever again)

Just saying.

Ouch! that pain just ripped across my heart evrytime I think of this. It did so well at the foreign box office and on DVD and look at the vile tripe they're trotting out as sequels and trilogies. *pouts*

TBH I'm dreading this year's drought. Another year without Jake films after EOW. Good job we've got the Olympics to take my mind off this.

UltraViolet said...

A release date to ease the pain in Sheba's heart :)

September 28th.

And if Jake gets his ass in gear and makes a movie this year, we'll see one next year, Sheba. Please, gods!

UltraViolet said...

It's going to be Gyllenhaal v. Gyllenhaal that weekend, if the dates don't change.

bobbyanna said...

UV, that's wonderful news! Somehow, I don't think Maggie will mind, since they're such different movies. I plan to see them both. On opening weekend. : )

If Jake's more heavily involved in producing,maybe it might explain why it seems to take longer between projects. Saying yes to an acting job seems a lot simpler than being part of the complicated process of putting all the various pieces together in a film project.

UltraViolet said...

From twitter - nothing new but funny:

Seminar-Broadway = fantastic. Sitting near Michael J Fox, Tracey Pollan, james wood and Jake Gyllanhaal = fantastic. Tori's face priceless!

I wonder if Jake liked the play. I saw a news report that Justin Long is joining the cast. Also Jeff Goldblum is replacing Alan Rickman in April, I think. If I were Jake, I'd be very happy I saw it with Rickman.

Jake should do a play while he sets up his next movie to film!

And today:

If you're wondering if Jake Gyllenhaal just complimented my Nintendo-themed wallet at Argo Tea just now, the answer is yes he did.

It's funny if you think that I will ever talk to you again after this tweet.


Hee. And LOL:

I made that sound too

he's so pretty.

Anonymous said...

Thanks so much UV for spreading the news about EOW release date. It will be interesting to see both Gyllenhaals playing at the same time. That never happened before

Lily

UltraViolet said...

Indiewire isn't too high on the movie's concept, but they say the date could mean it will play Toronto. It would be great to see Jake at a festival again.

Forgot to post this yesterday:

ake Gyllenhaal kept stepping in front of me while I was in the Muji store this afternoon. True story. #dudegetoutoftheway

UltraViolet said...

They are different movies but could have some of the same audience appeal. I guess neither one will be a blockbuster. Maggie's movie is already controversial among some teachers on twitter.

Script Review: End of Watch by David Ayer

The plot involves two cops and partners, Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, both in their early 20s (but played older by Jake Gylllenhaal and Michael Pena, respectively, whom have been cast), as they drive around in their squad car and battle the tough crime of Los Angeles... The script feels very episodic in this way, and thus very true-to-life. But it is also very intriguing, and we soon find ourselves caring about these two friends, one white, one Hispanic, from two very different backgrounds who are truly good men who want to do right. The main plotline involves two warring drug gangs, one black and one Hispanic, and how our two protagonists get caught up in the middle.

Mary said...

Yea finally a release date for EOW thanks UV and for all the tweet updates

Chica said...

EOW is opening the day before my b'day, thanks for posting the great news!

I would love for Jake to do a play, I would save up meager wages to see him!!!

That movie with Maggie also stars Viola Davis.

bobbyanna said...

Great birthday celebration idea, Chica! I was so excited to read that Maggie and Viola Davis were working together on this project. I've been looking forward to seeing it.

I wish I could afford to go to the Paul Newman fundraiser.: )

Since Ides of March/Farragut North, Carnage, and August, Osage County, have all been adapted to screen, I can't help but wonder if maybe Jake is not only looking for a play to act in, but maybe one to adapt to screen.

UltraViolet said...

From tumblr:

MY COWORKER HAD LUNCH ACROSS FROM JAKE GYLLENHAAL TODAY AND DIDN’T CALL ME

It was tagged "rude," lol.

This is a picture of a Jake autograph from 1999. I'd say his signature has changed.

I always wondered when actors sign their signature do they do it different on fan items (like photos,etc) than from official documents like contracts. Maybe they don't want to have their real signatures copied. So they do the scribble. Heath did something similar had his own style but who know how it looks on contracts, checks, credit card receipts. you know all the stuff the rest of have to put a signature to. He looked hot in the short vid clip of him signing autographs.

UltraViolet said...

Wonder if Jake will be in the audience for this?

Mumford and Martin - Jake's good friends!

There is also a live stream and broadcast on EPIX.

bobbyanna said...

Thanks for the link, UV! I see that Jon Stewart will be there too!
I sure hope Jake is part of this! : )

Josie said...

I have a feeling Jake will be there too! So glad to here that is a release date for EOW!

It's been hectic for me lately and I haven't had time to visit my Jake blog lately , thanks so much for keeping me updated on all things Jake.

~ Josie

UltraViolet said...

Josie, good to see you! Wish there was news about a new Jake movie, but it was good to hear a release date for EoW.

And as always, there's Soul Cycle news:

Found husband waiting for me next to Jake Gyllenhaal (actually talked to him this time) he really needs to stop following me to @soulcycle

UltraViolet said...

If people want to watch the reading of the play "8," about Proposition 8 in California, it's live on youtube.

Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Bacon appear, among others.

Shondra said...

Count me in as disapointed too thast there will be know sequel to Pop :(

I always loved that 3rd photo of Jake in this post, that must have been a fun shoot!

Sorry to hear that Jake is no longer attached to Way, Way Back but thrilled that EOW has a release date, yay!!

My thoughts are with everyone here in the eye of the Tornados, please take care and be safe.

Shondra said...

Thanks for the youtube link for the Prop 8 play UV!

bobbyanna said...

Thanks so much for the link

bobbyanna said...

I've just discovered that unless yu are a subscriber to EIX you can't see the live stream of Amnesty International's Secret Policeman's Ball. It's possible to sign up for a two week free trial, but they want an awful lot of information, so I may miss it.: (

Mary said...

If Jake attends hopefully we will get some tweets or if we are lucky some pics

bobbyanna said...

Haven't read anything about Jake, but Evan Rachel Wood & Rashida Jones are there, and Mumford is performing right now. Lots of SNL folk are participating.

UltraViolet said...

I thought Jake would be at SPB for sure. Maybe we'll find out he was there.

I watched the end of Jarhead on Ion, and now it's starting again. I always forget how gorgeous the cinematography is. And Jake, of course.

Sir, I got lost on the way to college, Sir!

UltraViolet said...

Also, Jake's eyes are so blue in those close-ups.

And I've said this before, and I know it's heresy to some, but Peter is not convincing in this movie.

The ads are annoying, though. They went to a commercial right at the scene where Swofford is about to fire his gun.

bobbyanna said...

I'm watching Jarhead, too! It's kind of frustrating because they have censored it. : )I caught part of the first showing and now I'm watching the beginning, and yes. OMG he looks good.

bobbyanna said...

Yeah. Really blue.

bobbyanna said...

Well, Dr Oz, William Shatner, and Paul Rudd are among the folk hanging around backstage right now. ColdPlay is still performing, I think.

UltraViolet said...

The "Shut the fuck up" scene is slightly less effective when the f-word is censored. And no Santa hat dance, sadly.

bobbyanna said...

I kinda feel bad for people seeing Jarhead for the first time. It definitely loses something by having it censored like that.

UltraViolet said...

Censored + commercials = not the best experience. But people on twitter and FB seem to be enjoying it anyway!

From twitter:

Jake and Maggi Gyllenhaal, Just had dinner with family and friends at Mari Vanna,

UltraViolet said...

That person seems to tweet a lot about the restaurant - not sure if he works there.

Also not sure if Jake and Maggie were with friends or what the syntax means. If they were just there, it could have been after the concert. It could also, obviously, have been earlier.

Anonymous said...

The Police ball seems random for Jake to attend, the people who are attendance appear to be more comic or music oriented.

UltraViolet said...

Yeah, like Liam Neeson. And HArvey Weinstein.

There's obviously no certain that he would be there. But it's a cause I assume he supports with his friends performing. And it was a hot ticket.

Chica said...

I would be surprised too if he didn't attend, sounds like an event that he would have loved to be at.

GR said...

I have not understood if Jake has attend or no to the concert.

bobbyanna said...

I haven't seen anything to say he was there, but he could have been. With ColdPlay & Mumford & Sons performing for a good cause like Amnesty International, it seems like something Jake would attend.

(Jake is practically a "roadie" for Mumford. : ))

There were people backstage, but there weren't a whole lot of backstage tweets.

GR said...

Thanks, bobbyanna, however the restaurant Mari Vanna , are enough next to the Radio City Music Hall. and it was enough slow to dine, as if they had gone after the concert.

bobbyanna said...

yes, exactly GR. As UV pointed this out last night, they could have gone after the concert. Or maybe they were just @ dinner. We don't know. Many possibilities. : )

Anonymous said...

The guy has tweeted around midnight, an a little late to go to dinner, and the concert starts at 7:00 o'clock, so it is probable that they was there :)

Anonymous said...

The time of the twitters might not be the actual real time.

Anonymous said...

Jake and Maggi Gyllenhaal, Just had dinner with family and friends at Mari Vanna,

It seems enough clea rto me that he speaks of something that has just happened.

UltraViolet said...

There's no real reason to debate this. We don't know the exact time of the dinner or who else was there or if they went to the concert first or all came from bowling.

It seems reasonable to assume Jake was not at the concert since there wasn't a single tweet of him there. But there's no way to know for sure - we could get a series of photos tomorrow.

GR said...

It is strange however. Why Jake has not gone to this concert, full of his friends and for an important cause?

bobbyanna said...

GR, There is nothing in the least bit strange about it. I don't understand why you need to continue to belabor this. I guess if you want to attach some weird significance to something you can, but As UV said, there is no reason to debate this.

UltraViolet said...

Oy. There's nothing strange about it. We don't know if he went or didn't go. If he didn't go, there could be a thousand reasons, most of which are mundane.

There is no story here.

UltraViolet said...

Great minds, bobbyanna :)

Sheba said...

Stupid new blogger format doesn't work properly on mi Blackberry, been trying to post for ages (grrrrr). Thank you UV for providing that date for EOW. It did make me feel instantly better to know it's running. Is it the same release date in the UK too?

I'm of the opinion that Jake may be going a little bit stir crazy waiting for the next project to be greenlit. He may have even retreated a little back in his cave. However, I do feel that something big is on the horizon for him but possibly not in an acting capacity. He has IT in spades and I know he's going to put IT to good use while he can. Can't wait for the first greenlight project to come out of 9 (I know it all sounds a little cryptic but I don't want to jinx anything hehehe).

GR said...

Wow Bobbyanna is not any reason to put yourself on the defensive, I was just thinking that Jake Perhaps had some reunion of family for a special occasion, perhaps for the arrival of the child of Maggie, or perhaps that he had gone to live to NY, to avoid these mundane events. I don't sincerely know what other meant weird I should intend.

Chris Jones ‏ @ChrisJonesGeek London
Pretty sure I just walked past jake gyllenhaal in Soho

UltraViolet said...

GR, it's frustrating when people seem to want to make a big deal out of something inconsequential, which is what it felt like you were doing. A lot goes on in Jake's life that we (appropriately) don't know anything about. So it's silly to overanalyze things.

Then there are the things we can rely on about Jake's life:

Great workout @soulcycle with @Jake_Gyllenhaal #workit!

I wish people would figure out that pathetic fake Jake account is not Jake.

GR said...

I am sorry if I have given this impression, my point was that perhaps Jake is tired of HW, and that he is becoming more and more refractory to the HW rules, and considering that he can see hisr friends when he wants,maybe he has preferred to be with his family.

UltraViolet said...

You could be right, GR. But we'll probably never know :)

bobbyanna said...

Hey, GR. You're accusing ME of being on the defensive? All I tried to do is answer your questions as politely as I can, but I'm now beginning to think you're trying to provoke an argument for attention. Like a troll. So I'm done responding to you.

Thanks anon, @ 4:54. I'm loving all the positive buzz about EOW.

I never understood why some Jake fans seem to be obsessed with Jake whereabouts all the time.

So it looks like he didn't attend the concert, big deal.

Thanks for the EoW review snippet, anon. And also to the person who posted the script review of EoW in the last post. I'm glad the good vibes are continuing for the film.

I know it's early, but I am glad EOW is getting good reviews.I hope it can have success not only on critics but also box office.

I don't want an extrmely quiet 2013.XD

Paula C. said...

I was very happy to see EOW had a release date, but I wish it was sooner, my due date is around 3 of September, so unless the European release date is very delayed I'm going to miss Jake on the big screen for a long time.
I hope the trailer doesn´t take long!

Sheba baby said...

Happy to hear about the release date for EOW and all the good reviews from the screenings. Thanks so much everyone for posting!

Hope Jake is having a great time in NY, he seems so at home there more so than L.A. IMO.

Anonymous said...

Viv, I'm feeling that he has signed for a new job, but can't talk about it until the beginning of filming.

bobbyanna said...

LOL! Paula C, you will definitely be thinking about other things besides EOW in September...: )

I read an article recently (Maybe Vanity Fair?)where a filmmaker said they loved NYC, bcz there's so much creative energy there, and people had a wider range of interests compared to LA where most people are consumed with the "film business." A lot of creative people find NYC more stimulating, with all this creative energy so concentrated and accessible. So, I can see why Jake enjoys being in NYC.

Viv said...

to Anon

I have the same feeling for these two years, but nothing happened.....(Ok..OK...just kidding:P)

Anonymous said...

This time he's in a new agency with a great agent. Patrick is the best agent in town.

bobbyanna said...

If Jake's interested in producing, it take longer to put all the pieces in place. He said SC went surprisingly fast, but that's unusual. We've all read about writers,directors, producers saying it took years for some projects. Look at the time it's taken Naomi's film to get started.

I'm betting Jake has several projects in process. I agree, his new team @ WME is very good. I'm impatient, but I'm very optimistic.

I saw that, too, "Anon." It's really hard to say. It's not a very good photo. It almost looks painted or something. I wouldn't say it's him.

In general,I think peeping into windows to take a photo is pretty invasive. It may even be illegal. I'd be very uncomfortable.

It's a lot different from seeing someone in a subway, or a store or restaurant or walking down the street.

It does look like Jake. Kind of a creepy pic.
