Guy Ritchie had the foresight to cast Toby Kebbell in RockNRolla and then to arrange his failing career so that the film was released in September. Kebbell's interviews for RNR have provided us with some of the only news we've had in the current, sanity-challenging Jake Gyllenhaal drought. The latest on Jake from Toby:
Where are you living and working at the moment?
In London, working on The Prince of Persia. After RockNRolla I was out of work for 11 months, to shoot down the idea of the glamour. Then I was in Morocco for two and a half months learning to ride on a horse and fight with an axe for the Prince of Persia, but these big projects go on and on, so I'm shooting at Pinewood now. My co-star Jake (Gyllenhaal) is a lovely fella. He's been training hard and pumping iron; he's all about doing his acting right. It's more like doing a marathon than it is like acting, you're delivering these lines that are a bit obscure and you wouldn't normally say like (adopts OTT theatrical voice) 'The mystical dagger of time is going to save us all!' So it's a tricky one, but Jake's got the bull by the horns. We sat around and had a bite to eat a couple of times. He's a typical Yanky chap.
So they ARE in London. Thank you, Toby.
I was also amued by this question from the interviewer:
You've starred in films with Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johanson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jake Gyllenhaal. Do you feel like you've made it now, or do you want to become a household name yourself?
That's quite a list of beauties :)
I'd love to see a picture of Jake with Michelle P!
No idea if these are for real, but this is said to be from a series of promo shots of stunt people working on PoP. This one is pretty cool:
