Thanks to the tumblr geniuses who seemed to have gifs made before I had even watched the video twice. I liked this description, also found on tumblr: "It’s like Drive and Shame had a baby, and The Shoes provided the fucking awesome music."
Spinner spoke with video director Danel Wolfe about the making of the video:
"Jake Gyllenhaal and I had been talking about working together on something, and I got sent 'Time To Dance' by The Shoes, who are my favorite band, so I wanted to bring Jake in on that," explained 'Time to Dance' director Daniel Wolfe, in an interview with Spinner/RPM. "I pitched the idea to him, and he liked it, which was great."
"My brother and I had been chatting about doing a British take on the slasher genre for a while, but as a music video, and instead of seeing it from the victim's perspectives, we wanted to be with the killer, spend some downtime with him," the director continued. "To then be able to work with Jake Gyllenhaal on it was great. The Shoes' music is very cinematic, I had the privilege of working with them before, they're open to ideas, and they gave us the freedom to make 'Time to Dance.'"
The story mentions something that The Shoes and the video producer also retweeted: American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis gave the video his seal of approval on twitter. Twice.

Funny blog post from someone who met Jake on the SC set.
Also, Stephanie added a few more photos of Jake and Lea to that set on IHJ.

Thanks for the gif(t)s, UV!
And Lenor,too. That's a lovely photo. he was wearing Burberry. I love that set.
Wow the video has literally exploded all over the place. It's everywhere. Lots of American Psycho references along with Donnie Darko.
Thanks for the gifs. I got plenty of links on google alert about the video. He went into that DARK place I think a lot of us have but can never show. I have to wonder, when he got into character, if he was using his 'love' for the paps as motivation for that scene where he's really pummeling someone. :D
I remember when I was bowling one time I envisioned the pins were some co workers I couldn't stand. It's amazing how well I did that day
Lily
Even Movieline, which is usually very dismissive of Jake, is enjoying this incarnation.
I don't think Jake hates the paps as much as people think he does, Lily. He gets annoyed with them and probably does sometimes want to kill them. But I don't think it rules his life.
Bret Easton Ellis really likes the video. I'm not sure I'd be proud of that, but he is certainly an authority on this kind of thing.
Jake Gyllenhaal has played along the edge of creepy (Donnie Darko) before, but he hasn't gone full psycho -- until now. After the jump, watch Jakey-poo put that dead-eyed visage to great use as a troubled, tightly coiled young man who kills his hipster pals and strangers alike until he finds just the right... dance club. Eh, it's a music video for a band called The Shoes. I'll allow it.
The video, directed by Daniel Wolfe for the Shoes single "Time to Dance," reminds me a lot of this year's Sundance thriller Simon Killer; both follow charismatic sociopaths as they stalk their prey, using stylistic flashes and tricks to evoke their character's mental state.
Warning: Some startling violence within.
Seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in spin made up for being verbally assaulted by Ben's hair the past few months. #bachelor #allisforgiven
Oh God, people are completely gone crazy for this video, yesterday I didn't succeed in holding the footstep with the tide of Tweets, I didn't expect this whole success! All of this is absolutely magnificent!
Hey Ulta Violet, Jake has become
Ultra Violent! In honor of your name!I love it:)

“@victoriahp93: got complimented by Jake Gyllenhaal at @soulcycle this morning ... starting my day off right. #winning” I die.
LOL, gr! I have those urges sometimes myself :)
I wonder if you watched the video and then saw Jake at the gym, if you'd freak out a little? Hee.

One more:
fucking met Jake Gyllenhaal this morning and he talked to me, I'm so in love with him and we're getting married but he doesn't know it yet
12:24 PM -
Is it wrong for me to think that Jake looks sexy smoking:):)
I can't believe the response this video is getting!
I wonder what this all means for his career. It is important to keep your name front and center from time to time. He doesn't have a new project to promote until Sept, and generating this kind of excitement on the web certainly helps him promote himself.
I just wonder if, after doing this dark genre, if that is what he's looking for in his next project
Lily
Liked this description of the video, from a comment on a story about it:
It’s like “the best video ever” but only better than that.
From one of the producers of the video:
Can you share a bit how it was to work with my favourite actor ever Jake G. on TimetoDance video?
super cool : )
And this cracked me up. The Shoes tweeted this:
Best comment ever! LOVE!
American Apparel Psycho
Apparently Bear Grylls has been let go by the Discovery Channel. Glad he got Jake on there before being fired!
I love these gifs UV, this has really gone viral!
I don't know what this means for his career Lily, but this is the best thing he has done in awhile (not counting SC).
The violence in the video is disturbing but in a stylized way.
Ellis is giving it his props, not a fan of his but his approval sure gived it more cred.

"Ellis is giving it his props, not a fan of his but his approval sure gived it more cred"
I agree, OONP. And you're right. It's gone viral!It's hard to find any Jake news with all the video chatter. : )
That's too bad about Bear, UV. I'm glad he and Jake did their episode too. I wonder if Bear has syndication rights. Back episodes could air on another channel. Or Discovery might repeat them. They are popular.
Chica, I felt the same way. Hate to admit it, but Jake looked Damned sexy with the cigarette.In all honesty, he looked damned sexy in the entire video. I mean there he is being a psycho killer and I'm thinking how hot he looks! : )
He does look sexy even when he is killing people in the video Bobbyanna, all kinds of mixed feelings going on with me!
I'm surprised ti hear that Discovery kicked Bear to the curb but I'm sure another cable channel will pick him up.
aw poor Bear. I'm glad he and Jake got together. I hope he gets picked up by another station
Lily
Love the video Jake is so sexy and glad to hear all the good buzz its getting
Decided to scare myself again just now hahahaha. I can't sleep anyway so why not watch the video.*shiver* It is one dam*ed good video.
Hey Babblers, wasn't Fincher a Video director producer before he started making movies?
Yes my friends, though I recoil mentally from the thought of Jake smoking, physically he was oh so sexy lighting up, and he was simultaneously extremely frightening.
This video plus SC puts him back on the map for more work...fingers xed. I am overjoyed for his success and beyond happy for him.
I wanted to talk to you UV one day about Bret Ellis E. but you were very clear in your feelings about him :lol I subscribe to his twitter since I do like some of his movies.
I was so sick of his drooling over Ryan G one day; I was bubbling over with chatter for my babbler mates. Bret is holding one of his movies for Ryan...I think...and well, I want Jake for all the movies he can make. arr
I checked Bret E's twitter after I read your post and yes and he did complement Jake and the video twice, and yes he is definitely the critic you should try to please for this genre.
Earlier today Bret posted, that The Dark Knight Rises trailer, is better than most recent movies: I agree.
see ya soon
sass
I only got to see the video today and I was just blown away, it's amazing!I was so into the video and Specially into Jake's hotness that the 8.35 minutes just flew by.
I hope Jake is dating Lea, I'm feeling very match maker lately and It's time to date!
I didn't expect this type of video from that first image we saw psoeted of Jake and the birds, what a shock!
Very bloody and intense, and he can do so much with his eyes.
If Jake wanted to showcase that he could play bad, in this case a serial killer he succeeded!
I'm a huge Jeff Bridges fan. Jagged Edge. If you've never seen the movie find it on Netflix. Or Cary Grant in Suspicion. I wonder how many of the people on twitter who are referencing Brett Easton Ellis realize that American Psycho was a black comedy? It was satire in extremis.
Sheba, I had no idea what to expect after seeing a pensive Jake and all the seagulls. All I can say is he looked really hot.
(((Paula C)))
"I'm feeling very match maker lately and It's time to date!" You always make me smile. Hope you are well.
well I watched the video again and I have to admit it's grown on me some. I also remembered Jake did play a dark character in "Good Girl."
Lily
I was thinking about The Good Girl too when I saw the video Lily! More so then Darko.
And I can definately see American Psycho in it as well.
It's not my cup of tea but Jake is scary good in it plus the buzz has been off the charts so it's all good if you are a Jake fan :)

"Time to Dance" video is the 2 most popular video on YouTube today!
OT, but not: So, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall, Marcus Mumford and Carrie Mulligan are dining with President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron tonight @ the White House State Dinner!
Mumford & Son will also be performing as will John Legend, who is also there. I think that's pretty cool. : )
Yea thats pretty cool Bobbyanna.
I forgotto mention Ted Dwane from Mumford & Son. Harvey Weinstein and George Clooney are there, too, also cast members from The Wire & Donwton Abbey. I mean there are also lots of politicians and business leaders, etc. I'm just glad Mumford & Son got to perform @ a White House State Dinner.
Looks like now, they are talking to Jeremy Renner to do Motor City with Gary Oldman & Amber Heard.
http://collider.com/jeremy-renner-motor-city/152339/
I saw that, too, Bobbyanna. Just makes me grit my teeth.
Pretty cool for the Mumfords. I hope they had a great time.
Two from Twitter about 30 mins ago:
"Love it when Jake Gyllenhaal randomly shows up where we are having dinner"
"Jake Gyllenhaal is at the bar I'm at, nbd."
UV, Getty Images had some photos of Mumfords' performance.I guess it took place outdoors.
After I read the article, seems Renner was competing with Javier Bardem for a role in The Counselor and they were really leaning towards Bardem. So maybe he now has a "hole" in his schdule.
Jake's performance is being praised a lot on internet.He is a really talented actor that should work more.
I don't know if he turned down the moter city coz of schedule conflict(filmed in May).Is it a little too late ao announce a new project in late March?
Anyway,I am so happy Jake got so many good reviews on his crazy killer image.He needs a new film this year.Finger crossed.
I was thinking about Jake when I heard about Mumford and Sons performing at the WH. The British PM os a big fan!
I like Renner so I can't really be annoyed that he is in talks, he probably has time on his schedule as already pointed out.
So, Jake has given an iconic interpretation ..... again:)
If Jake wants to come down to DC to hear his friends perform I'll be glad to put him up :D (no problem at ALL Jake )
Lily
Jake seems to be lying low. I wonder if he'll go to Austin for the documentary premiere. Probably not but we'll see.

I don't know who is more stalkerish, the twitter pic or me for looking at it. Some place like the gym should be off limits for camera phones, I wouldn't like my pic being taken either but I guess Jake is use to it, but she could have asked.
I agree anons. IMO, I think it was invasive and wrong. He ought to feel safe at the damned gym.
I've just read that the brilliant David Strathairn is going to play Dr. Sloper, Catherine's father, in the Broadway revival of The Heiress. Jessica Chastain will play Katherine. I have no idea who will play Morris. That was the part Montgomery Clift played in the movie. I hope they haven't cast anyone yet. You never know...
I don't dislike Renner. I'm gritting my teeth at hearing about another actor get a job while Jake has nothing that we know of.
Daniela, you're a brave soul for going into the comments section. I avoid them at all costs.
That gym photo is way too close and too personal.

Just looked @ some pics from the turnout for opening night of Death of a Salesman. Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Maggie & Peter were

The cast includes Andrew Garfield & Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I have no reason to think he is, but I would SO love it if Jake did a play.

I loved William Hurt's "Ned Racine." But, yes, I think Jake could play a sleezy lawyer.
"You're not to smart. I like that in a man!" (Kathleen Turner had some great lines!) Lawrence Kasdan's re-working of the Double Indemnity plot.

That's great news about the video almost 1 million views!

People seemed to love the Railroad Revival documentary. Not sure how much Jake we'll see - here's one tweet:
Big Easy Express was all about the music, and less about the train trip.
I'd like to hear more details about Jake helping to run that class!
Also, the Shoes tweeted a screen cap showing the video over a million views but youtube here is still below 1,000,000. It's close, though. Very cool.
Bobbyanna, I wouldn't even mind if they reversed roles and made Jake the evil schemer in a Body Heat remake. I'd love to see JAke in that kind of twisty-y turn0y movie.
Time to dance has reached 1001391 views!
Ultra Violet, I have not understood if The Mumfords, are to the film festival in TX or just the movie.Can you help me? :)
Hmmmmm. Never thought of flipping the characters in Body Heat, UV. That could be very interesting.
I'm wondering about the Big Easy Express, too. Doesn't seem like anyone's mentioned Jake.

Congrats to Emmett Malloy @brushfire on the premiere of Big Easy Express at SXSW! Mumford and Sons on stage!
GR, Mumford and Sons performed onstage in Austin after the premiere of the movie, along with the other bands that were on the tour.
Here's an article describing the movie.
The thing about switching the characters for Body Heat is that it would be fun to have Jake play the sexy evil one. But William Hurt had more screen time, so ... LOL.

Body Heat is one of my favorite movies...I have to find it for another watch now that it's on my mind.
The Grub, of NY Magazine, reports Jake eating ice cream and other tasty delights around town.
I just read it so want to share.

When we got there, there were a couple of people ahead of us, so we had to wait. I did a double-take and realized one of the people waiting was none other than, Jake Gyllenhaal. I’ve never been a huge fan of his, but thought it was cool that he was at this hole-in-the-wall place waiting for a $35 massage just like the rest of us.

Jake Gyllenhaal in talks for 'Enemy': Film News: Denis Villeneuve on board to direct indie based on novel
Jake Gyllenhaal in talks for 'Enemy':
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118051649.html?cmpid=RSS|News|FilmNews
Jake Gyllenhaal in talks for 'Enemy'
Denis Villeneuve on board to direct indie based on novel
By Justin Kroll
Before directing Hugh Jackman in "Prisoners," Denis Villeneuve will helm the indie "An Enemy" with Jake Gyllenhaal in negotiations to star.
Javier Gullón is penning the adaptation based on the novel "The Double" by Jose Saramago.
The story revolves around a dysfunctional history teacher who accidentally discovers his exact double on a rented DVD, seeks him out and ends up turning both of their lives upside down.
Niv Fichman of Rhombus Media will produce along with Miguel Angel Faura of Roxbury Pictures, in association with Mecanismo Films in Madrid.
Alliance Films will distribute in Canada and Pathé in the U.K. and France. Pathé will also handle international sales.
Villeneuve will likely shoot "Enemy" before "Prisoners" as Jackman is now busy filming Universal's "Les Miserables."
Gyllenhaal would play two roles in the film, described by sources as "dark and edgy."
Gyllenhaal just finished production on the gritty cop drama "End of Watch." He'd also been considering the revenge thriller "Motor City" but a deal could not be worked out and he had to pass.
The WME-repped Gyllenhaal was most recently seen in Summit's "Source Code." Open Road bows "End of Watch" on Sept. 28.
Villeneuve is repped by CAA and Claude Girard.
Contact Justin Kroll at justin.kroll@variety.com
Ultra Violet wher are you? Ineed a heelp! Is this a good project?
synopsis:
Tertuliano Máximo Afonso is a divorced, depressed history teacher. To lift his spirits, a colleague suggests he rent a certain video. Tertuliano watches the film, unimpressed. But during the night, when he is awakened by noises in his apartment, he goes into the living room to find that the VCR is replaying the video. He watches in astonishment as a man who looks exactly like him-or, more specifically, exactly like he did five years before, mustachioed and fuller in the face-appears on the screen. He sleeps badly.
Against his better judgment, Tertuliano decides to pursue his double. As he roots out the man’s identity, what begins as a whimsical story becomes a “wonderfully twisted meditation on identity and individuality” (The Boston Globe). Saramago displays his remarkable talent in this haunting tale of appearance versus reality.
http://collider.com/jake-gyllenhaal-an-enemy/153519/
Too early to get our hopes up as the article says Jake is in talks at least we know he is looking at projects so we will just have to wait and see what happens.
I agree mary. We've been down this road a time or two. I'll wait and see. But I hope it works out for him.
I'm sort of offended by this unusual number of anon posts. You'd think people would pick a name, as UV suggested. I usually associate anon with troll posts, since we've had a lot of those, too. I don't usually respond to "anons."
Wow, all the anonymous seem only post signalings, sightings and news no trolls at all IMO
I have no idea if it's good or bad, GR. I'm hoping good, though it does seem like it could veer to the melodramatic side. It's an indie, which I like. Jake needs to make more of those, mix it up.
And hopefully it's a not a lengthy shoot so he can go directly to another project :)
Ultra violet, thank you for having answered me:) To me it seems a project really cool, I mean, the double role the drama, the mystery, seems all so interesting. I am really positive on the new path that is taking the Jake's career f Jake, after SC. and I also like the new agency, I hope that everything go welI, and I am also happy for Lea Seydox she is really beautiful and talented.:)
I really would not want to see Jake in the American Psycho remake. It's on overrated book and movie, but also iconic. No good can come of that.
There are some good signs for this movie, if Jake actually does it. We've all been burned by Variety before, so I think we all want to hear something definite.
Hii!!!
Will now go?? frankly my concern is not whether the film is remake, but it starts to work and do well, I've read stories of films that did not have "that script" but the actors were saving
Hey ppl at least we are sure that Jake won't fight with his co-star:)!
I don't want to get too excited until I see Jake n set filming Enemy, we have been through this before.
The script sounds interesting and it's an indie so hopefully it will get made.
I have my fingers crossed on this latest film proj. rumor. The dual role could be interesting.
Maybe this is why he had to back away from Motor City, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
SAG Actor, yeah, on the set! : )
Chica, this dual role seems like it would really showcase Jake. Denis Villeneuve won a lot of acclaim for his Oscar nominated Incendies, as Duncan Jones did for Moon.
Remaking American Psycho's a really bad idea no matter who they pick for it.
"gr said...
Hey ppl at least we are sure that Jake won't fight with his co-star:)!"
I don't know about that, I mean what about the question, whose better looking? I hate to see Jake fight with himself, will he get two trailes? At least he's costume changes will be greater than SC. I wonder who will get top billing? Jake or Jake.
New post. Maybe some of the anions will be bold and pick a name in this one!
