A more stylized view of Jake Gyllenhaal at the Enemy Madrid premiere last week:
Here's Jake with Enemy writer Javier Gullón in Madrid:
Look: Javier has a rejected Enemy poster, with Jake in North by Northwest/Source Code mode:
I will post some links to Spanish print interviews. They continue the tradition of being more interesting than Jake's domestic interviews. In the meantime, you can watch a few:
And a look at the premiere, including Denis Villeneuve's interesting introduction of Jake:

I wonder if Jake always remembers how he's started his sentences. ;-)
Sam Worthington is playing the current CEO of Adventure Consultants, the company that was founded by Rob Hall. As far as I know he wasn't involved in the events on Mount Everest back in 1996 at all. I guess he'll be used for some sort of frame story.
Peach Weathers doesn't appear in "Into Thin Air" at all.
Clive Standen is playing Ed Viesturs who had the leading role in the Everest IMAX movie. He's only very briefly mentioned in "Into Thin Air", but the IMAX expedition might be somewhat more important in the movie (which is supposed to be shown in IMAX theaters as well).
Jake is looking more like Rasputin , Lol!
I'm surprised to see that they are still adding to the cast of Everest.
Well he's Jake so he still manages to get a few really beautiful photos but yes, Extra, I agree! LOL! Very much a Rasputin vibe! At least if he does Southpaw we will see his face again.
Hagen, thanks for the details on the roles that have been cast. It makes me think flashbacks will be part of the narrative structure in the film. I'm really thrilled about IMAX and 3D. I definitely don't want to start another discussion, but I can think of at least one other movie of Jake's that might have done better with IMAX & 3D. : ) And no, not TDAT.; )
Hello,from japan

Welcome anon from japan.
Jake has confirmed he will be in Southpaw. He said he will begin preparing for the movie after filming Everest. I didn't understand if he said he will have three months to prepare or if the shooting will last three months. Anyway, it's great news.

Posted a longer version of the first video interview. Jake really did a lot if press in Madrid. I'll get to the articles at some point today, I hope.
Here's more video of the premiere. I can't understand most of the reviews, but I think one woman calls it spectacular and likes Jake's dual performances.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Ayer did an AMA on reddit:

And Keanu. Fuck. I've worked with a lot of great actors. All of them, I'd have to say. It's unfair to really single any out, I love working with actors.
Denis did an AMA, also, but there wasn't much happening. Have to go back and review it again.

Omg, i kid not!!! Keira knightly is now sitting here w jake gylenhaal!!!!
Jake Gyllenhaal spotted dining at L'entrpote in Hackney Downs. Meanwhile 0.5 miles up the road a 15 year old girl is murdered. Londons status quo remains intact.
We also went for dinner on Saturday night to L'Entrepôt with Kim and our friends Jon and Lauren, and I haven't laughed so much in ages. We were sat by the door and when Jake Gyllenhaal walked in we amused ourselves with the idea of anonymously sending him a complimentary rice pudding. I'm afraid we were THAT table, but sometimes you just have to go through a couple of bottles of wine, laugh until your belly hurts and tears stream down your face. We eventually headed home to hang out in the fort and carry on the party.

Hmm, I haven't watched the first season of "True Detective", but I think I'd rather prefer another Detective Loki movie (though that's not likely). You never know, if and when those HBO series are broadcast on German (free) TV. Plus audiences will inevitably compare the second season with the first one and Jake with Jon Hamm and Matthew McConaughey. I think Jake should only work on TV, if he starts a new (mini) series.
Hagen I have confidence in Jake's choices, if he believes the game is worth the candle I trust, comparisons will always be there, no matter what he will do, he is an actor.
Jake does not seem someone who is afraid of challenges or comparisons, and this is one of the things I most love about him :)

I hope not.
Jake was not the first choice for Enemy. Dennis first offered the role to Javier Bardem, but he turned down saying that the role was not for him. Then he offered to Christian Bale who said yes, but asked to be filmed after Prisoners, but Denis couldn't do that.
link: Dennis Villeneuve
very nice Denis :/
First two unnamed British actors were offered the role, then Javier Bardem and Christian Bale.
"Jake accepted immediately and we didn't have to change anything. I think he adapted more to us than we to him. ...
I feel a bit uncomfortable talking about that."
He should have skipped that question or answered it in a more diplomatic way. :rolleyes:
I agree. It would've made me feel much better if I hadn't known there were so many actors considered before he chose Jake :(
Still, I'm glad it's him after all! :)
We are fortunate Jake has a lot of patience and good manners Hagen :)
I really don't think this is a big deal. Parts are offered all the time, and it makes sense that they wanted European actors for a Euro production.
I think Denis realized he shouldn't have answered but it was too late. Given all of the praise and respect he's given to Jake, I think he can be forgiven.
I don't really mind that Jake wasn't the first actor he thought of, but rather that "he accepted immediately, we didn't have to change anything, he adapted more to us than we to him" part. Something like "we were lucky that he accepted" would have been more appropriate.
Yeah, but that might just be awkward translation. Agreed that it would have been better just not to discuss it.
Since they are such good friends, Jake can yell at Denis about it.
Denis has been effusive in his praise of Jake, UV, but I'm kind of disappointed with the comments, too, and Hagen, I do wish he'd answered differently.
But in the scheme of things, it doesn't matter at all. Because Jake was effective and the film is a critical success. So there are no regrets, I would think.
Enemy belongs to Jake. He owns it. He is spectacular in it, and the film will live long after those remarks are soon forgotten.
Maybe I'm oversensitive and it is true Denis has always shown affection and respect for Jake, but that comment makes it seem like Jake as a third or fourth choice, when Jake gave up a great commercial success, as Now you see me to work with Denis
it is also true , Denis strongly wanted Jake for Prisoners and has also changed something in the script for's movie, in the end I am very grateful to Denis, and I'll be forever, but the comment by David Ayer had spoiled me :)
Richard Kelly@JRichardKelly·
ENEMY warrants comparison to Polanski's REPULSION. Exquisitely creepy and sexy. See it on the big screen.
In this interview, Jake answers about if he would like to star in True Detective season 2. He said that he did many police roles, then it's time to move to the firefighters. lol
I think that's what I was thinking, I wouldn't want to Jake do another cop so soon and perhaps this is his thought.
Hello everyone! I'm new here :)
I have an interview in which Javier Gullón (the screenwriter) interviews Jake, and he says he opened a bottle of champagne when he learned Jake was on board. He was so excited he told his mum and she was like "who?" lol
I didn't particularly like the way Denis answered that question but I'm sure all of them are relieved Jake was the final choice.

Would love for him to do True Detective even though he would be playing a cop again, the show is awesome!
Is it possible the storyline for another season of True Detective might include a really good, non- detective role? (A Bad Guy.)

So much for privacy, you can see his ticket information.
lol he's the new Leo DiCaprio
IHJ
Why is he so weird sometimes? LOL.
http://www.infolibre.es/noticias/cultura/2014/03/27/jake_gyllenhaal_15041_1026.html
Saramago's wife about Jake:
"Su interpretación es magistral", dice Pilar del Río, viuda del escritor, "creo que se lee el libro, con todas las complejidades que plantea, solo siguiendo su mirada".
"His performance is masterful," says Pilar del Rio, widow of the writer, "I think you can read the book, with all the complexities, just by watching his gaze."
Is it just me of does Jake's hair look lighter? It might be trimmed at the back.
Meant to add: maybe that's why Jake was covering up at Heathrow. He doesn't usually even care to do that.
And back to Denis Villeneuve's comment,I really believe his direct nature and Francophone background were responsible for his reply. His filter kicked in after. He thinks in French whose phrases and thoughts do not necessarily lend themselves to precise translation. I don't believe he intended to slight Jake at all.
I noticed too that his hair color looked lighter and that it had been trimmed too.
Don't know what was going on with him covering his face guess he just didn't want his picture taken.
I think Jake is so annoyed by the paps because of nude photos stolen from the set of Everest, it must be a bad experience to see your ass in all the gossip sites of the world, without your approval or even without you knowing it before, and he is right to be pissed to me
Is it just me of does Jake's hair look lighter?
But only in some pictures, it looks dark as usual in other pics.
I guess he had just a bad beard day and didn't want to be photographed.
That's okay! Thanks for letting me know. (What magazine is it? I can see if there's any online version or if someone online scanned it in.)
It's a Spanish magazine called "cinemanía" I hope it helps!. There's nothing particularly new in the interview, but if I find some free time I could transcript the most interesting parts.
Ugh, Enemy open in Spain today and there's no place in my city to watch it!
At least the two main magazines gave it a 4/5
"lol he's the new Leo DiCaprio"
"Why is he so weird sometimes? LOL."
LOL! I agree! I wonder what that woman was thinking? Or maybe she was trying to give him some cover! LOL!
That's some very high praise coming from Saramago's widow, calling Jake's performance, "masterful." It's also a tribute to how Denis and Javier Gullon interpreted his work.

Quietly, One of Hollywood's Best Known Stars Has Become One of Its Most Underrated Actors

There's an interesting video that analyzes "Enemy" (via Gyllencrazy and Jake Gyllenhaal Brasil). I haven't noticed some of the details mentioned in the video before. There are major spoilers in the video; it's only recommendable for those who have already watched the film.
New release date: "Enemy" will open in Japan on July 18th.
If you haven't seen Enemy and didn't read the tweet, don't go back to it. But I keep forgetting to say that it was obnoxious of Brett Easton Ellis to put a spoiler in his tweet.

UV, I'm sorry I posted that tweet, I did not know it was a spoiler, I apologize to everyone.
No need to apologize, FP. It wasn't clearly a spoiler, I guess. I think most people just read it and didn't read into it. But HE knows it's a spoiler. He's a jerk, so it's not surprise.
And LOL:
Oh hey there Jake Gyllenhaal, nice to make awkward eye contact with you. #awkward #hello #dontcare #squashedtrain

Yeah. Think he went into the container store. Get it girl!
hahhaahaha. i'm GOIN
The article posted at 11:56 is worth checking out. Nice words for Jake, but with the sad overemphasis on PoP and the even sadder perpetuation of the myth that Heath outshines Jake in BBM. But misconceptions or misperceptions aside, it's a good read.

I'm fine with Forest Whitaker, but I'm not really thrilled that Jake will star in a boxing movie.
"Enemy" is a niche movie in Spain, too. 6.837 people watched it in its opening weekend.
Pathé International has updated the list of countries in which "Enemy" will be distributed (page 4). I think the Scandinavian and the former Yugoslavian countries are new on the list.

Due to popular demand, we are HOLDING OVER Enemy, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, in the Hippodrome Cinema! Weekday... http://fb.me/1o2u6uuya

FP, I think "Enemy" is doing OK given the fact that the film premiered on DirecTV five weeks before its theatrical release. (Though I don't understand how it could possibly gross $346,613 in its first week, when it grossed just $16,161 in its first weekend.)
Denis Villeneuve has got many upcoming projects, but apparently only movies that focus on women: This morning it was revealed that Amy Adams is circling the lead in his upcoming sci-fi film “The Story Of Your Life,” and now comes word that another highly-covered Hollywood actress is entering his sphere. The trades report that “Looper” and “The Five Year Engagement” star Emily Blunt is planning to star in Villeneuve’s next film titled "Sicario”. The filmmaker is also developing an adaptation of a Russell Banks novel, with Jessica Chastain-eyed to star ( Indiewire).
I was disappointed it didn't do better in Spain, since it's a Spanish production.
A24 has gotten a lot of praise, but when it can't even get the film into a theater in Boston, I'd say they failed. But I'm glad it's doing well in Gainesville, I guess.
A24 has gotten a lot of praise, but when it can't even get the film into a theater in Boston, I'd say they failed.
To be fair quite a few theaters refuse to screen movies that are already available on VOD. I don't know if A24's deal with DirecTV has worked out that well. Nevertheless A24 should have found a theater in the Boston area that is willing to show "Enemy".
Good for Denis! I'd also love to see Jake work with any one of those three women, Amy, Jessica or Emily. Love all three of them.
I'm just mystified, UV, as to why Boston was overlooked. I just assumed Enemy would show there.
I've been disappointed at the recent sightings talking about Jake's beard. Not gonna lie. : /
