"The Hollywood Reporter kicked off its second annual Hollywood in the Hamptons series Sunday night with the Jake Gyllenhaal movie End of Watch.
From Vogue:
Sheepish and unshaven, Jake Gyllenhaal greeted guests at Sunday evening’s screening of his new film, End of Watch, in which he not only stars but also executive-produced. Fondly remembering the six months spent shooting the action drama, about two young LAPD officers who unwittingly become embroiled in a drug cartel in South Central Los Angeles, Gyllenhaal stated, “The neighborhoods where we shot couldn’t be more different than where we are right now,” to the crowd seated inside the intimate screening room at the private home in Wainscott.
Before the film started, early arrivals sampled the hors d’oeuvres buffet of pigs-in-a-blanket, spring rolls, and spanakopita. Max Osterweis and Kate Foley chatted with Stephanie LaCava and Brian Weiss while hostess Gwyneth Paltrow looked end-of-August-appropriate with beach-mussed hair and a tie-dye shift dress at the event, which was presented in part by Samsung Galaxy SIII. Standing at the foot of the path leading into the house, she sipped a flute of champagne and welcomed guests including Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Rufus Wainwright, Molly Sims, and Katie Lee. Chris Martin lingered near his wife and caught up with cohosts Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld.
Once the credits rolled, guests filtered up the plushly carpeted steps of the screening room: Alexander and Lisa Immordino Vreeland stopped to say hello to Bruce Weber and Nan Bush who were seated with cohosts Ingrid Sischy and Sandra Brant. The more conspicuous Brants in attendance were, of course, Peter, Jr., and Harry, who arrived with a group of friends and proceeded to hold court. A bottleneck leading out of the basement screening room simply provided more opportunity for post-movie socializing. One woman in floral chiffon turned to her husband and sighed happily, “That was in-tense.” So were the pineapple cocktails waiting for guests on trays at the exit.
Jake begins the week partying in the Hamptons, but he'll end it on a different stage: At the Laura Pels Theatre in Manhattan, making his U.S. stage premiere in If There Is I haven't Found It. According to the NY Daily News, it's one of the city's tough tickets.

9:14 PM - 19 Aug 12
Great job, UV! Gwyneth looks really good! I saw a photo of Donna Karan at the event, but not with Jake, so it seems like they had a good turn out of the Hamptons set. : )
Oh, didn't see that, Bobbyanna. It will be fun to see who else was in attendance.
From the woman with whom Jake took the photo in the post:
It was at tonight's screening of his edge-of-your-seat engrossing film, End of Watch. (released September)
So the beard. It's staying for If There Is . . . ? Damn.
"Damn."
I know. I pretended not to notice it. Maybe it will go away?
Uh what about his co-star, Michael Pena? Was he not in attendance? Seems a bit self Jake centered, kind of proves Michael's point of different backgrounds. It was a bad move to have the film previewed in the Hamptons? How disconnected from the message of the film can you get? How many police officers go to the Hamptons or what's inner city about the Hamptons? Gross move yet again in the career of Jakey G.
I assume this will be deleted much like Jake's career.
LOL.
To anon
Yes!!I think you are absolutely right.Now you can go to bed happlily.XD
OK,twitter time:
Samantha Ettus @samanthaettus
The other thing about tonight - we saw a screening of Jake Gyllenhaal's End of Watch, perhaps the best cop movie ever.
Thanks UV on the ball as usual.
Yea looks like hewill have the beard for the play unless he is waiting for the last minute to shave wishful thinking:)
LOL, Viv. Love it.
Thanks, Mary!
Another tweet:
attended the world premiere of Jake Gyllenhaal's "End of Watch" movie tonight. comes out sept 21 & it's the best portrayal of LA
He looks tired. Thank you for this informations.
OT: Shocked by the apparent suicide of director Tony Scott.
I figured we weren't getting rid of the beard. But it looks kind if unkempt here. I don't know if that's in character for the drifter uncle or what.
Actor Bob Balaban:
Just saw a preview of Jake Gyllenhaal's powerful new movie "End of Watch." Jake's best work to date. A lot of academy worthy performances.
12:09 AM - 20 Aug 12
And someone who works at the 1770 House in East Hampton (I think) tweeted that Jake is at the restaurant when she's not. She wasn't happy :)
Oh Monica, I hadn't seen that. That's awful.
I think I only see his full face about 10 days so far this year!!XD
Wow, that was quick UV, what a nice way to greet the morning!
He looks god but a bit tired, Gweneth looks great! I don't mind the beard, it just looks a little messy here.
I heard about Tony Scott, what horrole news :(
Loving the "awards"buzz.
These are great pictures, UV!
Such sad news about Tony Scott.
From twitter:
Katie Lee @KatieLeeKitchen
Went to screening of new movie End of Watch last night. Just might be the best cop movie ever. Very raw and intense. Go see it!
These are fantastic pics UV, he's looking good! I'm loving Paltrow's dress and I haven't seen Jerry in ages!
Love the buzz for EOW!!!
Tragic news about Tony Scott, I'm in shock.
Getty images has more photos from the screening. Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Bruce Weber, who's founder/ publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine, Rufus WainWright and fiance,Chloe Malle, the social editor for Vogue, and also daughter of the late filmmaker Lous Malle & Candice Bergen, Howard Stern's wife Beth was pictured but I didn't see him.
Producer, John Lesher was there, and Molly Sims who's married to Scott Stuber, who's also a producer, but not for EoW I don't think.
I didn't know that Jake is on again represented by Mara Buxbaum. I mean, I think is she with the red purse.
Good catch, monica. Didn't even notice. Maybe for the movie's PR?
Ingrid Sichy and Sandra Brant were there. Both women are magazine publishing heavyweights, formerly with Interview magazine and Vanity Fair Abroad, too.
Bruce Weber, who's founder/ publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine
Isn't Jann Wenner the founder/publisher of RS?
Big Oops! Yes, you're right. Bruce Weber is a famous fashion photographer and a filmmaker.
Glad to see Rufus there :)
Stephanie put up lots of photos from the party. I added some to the post, along with this:

I hope 11:44 Anon can sleep better now!
It's a good sign that the movie elicited reactions from the jaded Hamptons crowd.
I looked on ID's site, and Jake is listed on Mara's page and not Carrie Byalick's. I'd be thrilled if he had made a change, but I don't know if Carrie to Mara is a big enough one. It's a start, I guess.
OT but not: I read somewhere today that Rufus Wainwright and his fiance are getting married Thursday in Montauk, which is part of the Hamptons. They have a baby.
damn
You're cursed, Bobbyanna :)
And another tweet from last night's viewing:
End of Watch is an amazing but very intense and violet movie. Saw the screening last night and still recovering!
1:57 PM - 20 Aug 12
Put up a new post. This is like old Jake times, with lots of news happening. Glad everyone was so excited by the photos and the screening news :)
