Since Jake Gyllenhaal has apparently gone into the Gray Hoodie Gyllenhair Protection Program, we're reaching back into the archives for some new old Jake Gyllenhaal news. I discovered this interview with Jake, from Brokeback Mountain promo time, circa end of summer, 2005. It's nice to see an extended interview.
The interviewer asks Jake about his time in London. He doesn't expound on it too much. But on his next promotional circuit, he'll have more material for that topic!
I particularly like the glimpse we get of final-touching Jake ;)
Two other very brief videos from the ITN vault. One is from the Oscar luncheon in 2006. Heady days.
The next is of Jake in Cannes - very quick but footage I hadn't seen before.
Jake was at Cannes for Zodiac. His pal Robert Downey, Jr., was not able to attend. But he and Jake did get together for the DVD commentary. Commentary that is really fun, except for the fact that they aren't given reign to do the whole movie. Instead the most pompous crime writer ever is joined by the Zodiac writer and producer for the Most Annoying Commentary Ever.
Okay, maybe it's not the most annoying, but when I listened, all I wanted was for them to shut up and let Jake and RDJ take the floor. Some kind soul has compiled the Jake and Robert segments, so you don't have to FF the other guys. It's only seven minutes, but it's a blast.

The Godfather?
Since his name keeps popping up in Jakeland, we have a Robert Elswit-themed post today. On Sunday night, Jake's godfather won the NY Film Critic's 2007 cinematography prize for There Will Be Blood. Maggie presented the award:
“I’ve known Robert Elswit since I was a little girl”, Gyllenhaal told the crowd at Spotlight Live. “My mom reminded me last night that he snuck into the delivery room and hid in a closet to take pictures of my brother being born.” So those would be the first naked photos of Jake Gyllenhaal.
Thus leading Gyllenhaalics everywhere to exclaim, "Where are the other nude photos then?"
Apparently, Jake approved of the photos, because in 2006, he accepted an award for Elswit from the LA Film Critics Association for "Good Night, And Good Luck."
Elswit appears to be the Gyllenhaal photographer of family record - he took this photo of Jake and Stephen looking at the first galleys for Claptrap, Stephen's first book of poetry.
Both Jake and Robert Elswit were nominated for Academy Awards in the same year, which is a pretty cool twist of fate. And it looks like they got to stand next to each other in the Oscar 2005 class picture*:
I can't imagine how proud I would be if someday I were nominated for an award at the same time as one of my godchildren.
A reminder that the director's cut of Zodiac was released today. Looking forward to watching the movie again and especially to the Jake/RDJ commentary. Of course, the amazing Stephanie at IHJ has already capped at least one of the features.
Nice angle!
