The boxing world is focused on Las Vegas this week, as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather hit the ring for a long anticipated fight. The Weinstein Company is using the spotlight to ramp up Southpaw promotion, with a new TV spot airing:
Shots from fight day and fight night:
Jake and Antoine interview:
In case you missed it, here's Jake on Ellen, in an early Southpaw promo visit:

BlueJean, I'm so happy you enjoyed the play! So, if I remember correctly, is it also your birthday?!
I wonder what kind of projects or scripts, besides the two we know, are now on Jake's table (so to speak)... if he's looking for something else.... Maybe during Cannes Festival he will be able to have some interesting connection (with European directors?)... For example Sean Penn was in the jury when he met Paolo Sorrentino and they decided to work together ("This must be the place")...
BlueJean said...
Back to 'Constellatons' once more. UV, to be honest I do feel the Dutch Roland wasn't the right choice for the role. He was too old for 'Marianne' and, while he was a good actor, he didn't really stand out for me. It might have been different for the rest of the audience, of course. I don't think I've ever seen Jake's name linked to this play in The Netherlands, so I don't think many here would know Jake played the role in the US.
Also, the stop-and-repeat nature of the play: I was able to go along with it of course, but I knew what to expect. The rest of the audience? I'm not sure. The play ended so soon (and a lttle sudden, I thought), and most of the audience left the theatre room straight away after the actors had said their final 'thank yous'. I guess they all wanted to go home, since it was a week night. I was on my own and I didn't get the chance to talk to anyone about it afterwards, unfortunately. Thank goodness you guys are here! ;)
BlueJean said...
Tina - I was typing when you posted! Yes, I saw 'Constellations' the day after my birthday. How about that for a present?! :)
Quite well, thanks!
Well... yes... great great present!! One of the best!! What a clever girl!!
:)))
Tina
Tina, I figured Jake was in LA for work, but I guess he can't really start anything with Cannes coming up and then Little Shop. I hope he's in preproduction on something.
BlueJean, I'm sorry Roland was so off. It's weird that they would choose characters so far apart in age and then not address that in the script.
I realized I hadn't told my friend what the play was about and when the repetition began, I wondered if he'd be annoyed. But he got it and really enjoyed it. As did all of the people who went with me on other occasions.
I have to say that the people around me who didn't seem to get it were, shall we say, in the older set.
The Southpaw trailer is showing with Avengers. On twitter last night, someone said the audience "owed" when Jake's name came up. I think she meant that as a positive.
On AwardsWatch, someone posted this about Southpaw:
I got the trailer for this in front of Age of Ultron last night. Theater was packed and they seemed to respond to this trailer more than any of the others (Batman v Superman, Fantastic Four, etc), which is surprising.
Yaay! Glad the trailer is getting good feedback. I wonder if there is any tracking information on it yet, or maybe it's too soon? I've got my fingers crossed they get great numbers for it.
Maybe they're doing casting stuff in LA for the next project? Maybe plotting out marketing stuff? This is going to be such a busy summer, and throwing Cannes into it too, is so cool!
strangest verification to post : I had to pick out photos of soup.....!
This is good news on the trailer before Age of Ulton, UV.
Yesterday I had a class of Muay Thai. Damn, jumping rope is hard! lol
Thanks, FP. that avatar lol!
That new Southpaw picture look incredible!
I'm curious for when The Man Who Made it Snow will start filming, I'm looking forward to seeing how Jake will look in that one. Has anyone read the book that it's based on?
Also, since all the anons are getting confusing and such I'll start adding my name to posts.
They just said on Access Hollywood that Jake is expected to be at the fight tomorrow night. Hopefully we get some good pictures, maybe an interview or something.
Was wondering if he would be at the fight hope we get some Pics too.
The trailer is getting such a great reaction online, I can't wait to see the trailer and audience reaction when I see the Avengers movie tomorrow!
I had a feeling Jake was going to the fight tomorrow.
"They just said on Access Hollywood that Jake is expected to be at the fight tomorrow night. "
Yay
this verify pictures are making me hungry.
At Morton's in LA tonight:
Pretty sure Jake Gyllenhall just walked in??
It's definitely him I'm very star struck
And then an interesting tweet:
My brother is on a plane with Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Leonardo DiCaprio :))))))

Vegas-bound, one assumes.
Someone in the last post mentioned that 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather were in a feud, but 50 Cent is solidly in the Mayweather camp. So they have apparently mended fences.
This video has some clips of Jake I'd never seen before.
I added the full still from the new poster shot.
Good morning everyone! :)
What a great new post! Thanks, UV! x
I bet if Jake wanted the window seat they gave it to Bradley Cooper! lol
I bet if Jake wanted the window seat they gave it to Bradley Cooper! lol
LOL, I hope Jake gets a better seat at the fight than Bradley Cooper does.
LOL! Maybe the reason they went with Jake is because he'll get the best seats.
LOL on the window seat comment. : )
Thanks so much Blue Jean for sharing your review!
Lots of early promo for Southpaw, happy that the trailer is getting good buzz .
Sounds like there will be tons of tweets, pics etc from the fight tonight, at least Jake is actually in a boxing movie and the Southpaw trailer will be seen !
On Sunday evening, 50 Cent will host a private screening of “Southpaw” at his hotel for Mayweather, and hopes the champ will in a good place after a win ... His “Southpaw” co-star and real life BFF Jake Gyllenhaal will join him in Vegas for the screening (New York Daily News).
"real life BFF Jake Gyllenhaal"
Giggle at that because that sounds better than Jake on a plane with the dude that took his Oscar nomination along with the other famous guy that help to do it.
Lets just hope they are far apart on the plane. Jake gets to select his own friends but I can't stand Leo or Bradley Cooper (what in the world happened to his face?)
Has anyone read the book that it's based on?
I read a few pages of the script. There is a documentary on youtube about everything that happened:
Cocaine Cowboys
I'm looking forward to seeing how Jake will look
I think he will gain some weight and fuck with his face. :P
"I think he will gain some weight and fuck with his face. :P "
I think he will go with the total opposite and fuck with people's expectations :P
Jake chooses unexpected looks for his roles.
Scott Fischer had long blond hair, clean shaved face and brown eyes.
Jake decided to play him with long brown hair, big lumberjack beard and blue eyes.
I think Jake will look nothing like Max Mermelstein but more like Al Pacino in Scarface, a classic in a genre that Man who made it Snow will be part of.

"I think Jake will look nothing like Max Mermelstein but more like Al Pacino in Scarface, a classic in a genre that Man who made it Snow will be part of."
I hope they consider Oscar Issac as Escobar's henchman. He's Miami and it'll be a battle of the new age Pacino/Deniro hybrids! (A Most Violent Year, Ex machina, Loki and Lou.)

Thanks for posting that link Monica. Unfortunately It's blocked for me but I'll see if I can find it on another site or another youtube link that's not blocked :)
Lets just hope they are far apart on the plane. Jake gets to select his own friends but I can't stand Leo or Bradley Cooper (what in the world happened to his face?)
I've seen photos of Leo and Bradley hanging out recently so maybe they were together and Jake was off on his own. I can't really picture them all hanging out but I guess anything's possible, Lol.
Ann, welcome and thanks for picking a name! It is more fun when we know who's talking :)
I like both BC and Leo. But Jake us hanging with 50, not the Leo posse. As long as they stay far away from Chris Brown, I can deal.
Also, is it a good idea to schedule a screening after a fight? What if Mayweather loses? I doubt he'll come. And do people want to see a fake fight after a real fight? That seems odd to me.
Jake and Boomer Esiason
With 50 and Hannah Storm. I hope someone recorded it. I wasn't home.
Press day for southpawmovie in #lasvegas with @50cent - #SouthPaw premieres July 24th in theaters… https://instagram.com/p/2MeyMuLIfP/
Nice, Jake:
#JakeGyllenhaal just said that his heart is with #MannyPacquiao I love him even more now!
I hope Manny beats the cap out of that POS Meriwether, I despise him.
You are right UV. I doubt that Merriweather will hang around for the screening if he loses.
Bad, Jake:
Jake Gyllenhaal just said on @espn that he has "tremendous respect" for Floyd Mayweather. Can't say I share that same feeling.
This is another quote:
"My head is with Floyd, but my heart is with Manny" -Jack Gyllenhaal Couldnt have said it better myself.
People are going to have to forgive the stream of tweets. I'm just going to cut and paste what I see. I'm not going in any kind of order, lol.
WHEN JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ON THE BIGGEST SCREEN AT CHILIS AND EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT
50 cent and Jake Gyllenhaal on espn together is maybe my favorite thing
50 & Jake Gylenhaal getting interviewed on Sportscenter... The female anchor only talking to Jake. 50 keep answering the questions lol (LOL)
Apparently 50 Cent and Jake Gyllenhaal are qualified boxing analysts for ESPN.
Never thought I'd see Jake Gyllenhall and 50 cent on sports center at the same time
@FloydMayweather, @MannyPacquiao step aside, Jake Gyllenhaal steps into the ring 7/24. #Southpaw #MayPac #boxing
I think I've finally reached the limit if what I can do as a Jake fan. Watching ESPN boxing coverage is just too much. I can't do that.
LOL, Chica. I don't want to actually care, but I hope Pacquiao wins.
A couple of photos
With Boomer, 50 and another guy
Nice photo
LOL
Jake Gyllenhaal says that for @WeinsteinFilms 'Southpaw' the punches and fights were done for real. "I didn't want to fake it."
If Gyllenhaal taking pac, so am I
Welp. Jake Gyllenhall can do no wrong, well except for Prince of Persia... Pacman it is.
Dammit, @espn, now I want a Jake Gyllenhaal/50 Cent buddy-cop comedy.
Jake Gyllenhaal just posted up in @SHOsports party w Antoine Fuqua @etnow
RT if you can pronounce Jake Gyllenhaal properly #MayPac #boxing
I just cringed the way the announcer said Jake Gyllenhaal :/

Jake Gyllenhaal is in Pacquiao's crew? Might have to root for him instead
But then:
Someone has obviously had a word with this announcer about his pronunciation of the word 'Gyllenhaal' lol
Ann, welcome and thanks for picking a name! It is more fun when we know who's talking :)
Thanks UltraViolet. :)
I have zero interest in the fight. If it weren't for Jake and Southpaw I wouldn't even know it was happening. The things we do for Jake, Lol
I also missed the ESPN interviews so I'm hoping they turn up online soon.
I saw somewhere that The Weinstein Company & Southpaw is sponsoring the bouts on the undercard. They're promoting the hell out of the movie tonight. : )
I hope we get to see the interviews, too. I especially want to see the ESPN Sports Center one.
Ruth Wilson is there.
Ruth Wilson is there.
Here comes more Ruth and Jake dating rumors, Lol.
I'm surprised she's there but I'm also not, if that makes sense, Lol. She has a very successful show on Showtime. I think I saw that Joshua Jackson is there too, he's on The Affair with her.
"They're promoting the hell out of the movie tonight. : )"
That's great and all but will they keep it up for the next 7.5 weeks?
Just saw Jake interacting with Marky Mark. There are a lot of rich assholes in Vegas tonight who are not in the boxing ring.
Showtime is one of the sponsors of the fight. Nice that Jake and Ruth can hang out again.
LOL at this:

Jake Gyllenhaal is ringside ....obviously a bit of an aficionado now after his stint on the silver screen as a boxer. #Southpaw
Seeing Jake Gyllenhaal then made me happy ��☺
SOUTHPAW @SouthpawMovie 3m3 minutes ago
Light Heavyweight Billy Hope has a granite chin. Maybe the best in #boxing. His next fight is 7/24. #MayPac #Southpaw
Busy time for Jake, tonight and then in couple of weeks Cannes. Since he has been in LA the last few weeks I wonder if the Met Ball is a no go. It's a few days away.
That's great and all but will they keep it up for the next 7.5 weeks?
I figure they're doing this tonight as initial promotion since it's a good opportunity to reach a huge audience they might not hit otherwise. People are packing bars and homes to watch the fight so they'll get good exposure for the film. I feel like after this they'll just run the usual tv spots in July then start doing the promotional tour once Jake finishes Little Shop of Horrors.
Denzel & Jake. (sigh)

That three second view of jake gyllenhaal at the mgm grand was the most exciting moment for me so far #PacquiaoMayweather
JUST PUT GYLLENHAAL IN THE RING!!!! #SorryForTheOutburst #IReallyWannaSeeSouthpaw #MayPac
JAKE GYLLENHAL IS A MILE FROM MY HOUSE. #MayweatherPacquiao
Announcer pronounced Jake Gyllenhaal's last name wrong, he pronounced it "GILL" instead of "JILL" -_- #MayweatherPacquiao
My mom calls me whenever jake gyllenhaal comes on tv. That's how you know it's real
I'm only watching right now to see Jake Gyllenhaal again.
Jake Gyllenhaal from Southpaw could beat up both Mayweather and PacMan. #PacquiaoMayweather
JAKE GYLLENHAAL ON MY SCREEN BEING BEAUTIFUL.
Jake Gyllenhaal is even hotter in person it's so unfair
jake gyllenhaal is at the fight and he looks GOOD
I saw jake Gyllenhaal for 5 seconds on live TV. I can die happy.
For the money I spent on this Jake Gyllenhaal better fight 50 Cent afterwards if the fight ends in three rounds or less. #MayPac #Southpaw
tbh i dont even want to see the fight i just want to catch a glimpse of jake gyllenhaal
People pay to watch the fight; I watch Jake Gyllenhaal in the background. #SouthPaw
Really the only thing I know about boxing is that Im going to see that Jake Gyllenhaal boxing movie

A Jake Gyllenhaal movie promo during intros? Haha they are milking every possible advertising dollar out of this fight.
Floyd Mayweather pulls off his mask and its Jake Gyllenhaal promoting South Paw #MayPac
Jake Gyllenhaal could kick both these guys' asses tho
Hold on. Sponsored by the country of Mexico and a Jake Gyllenhall movie? #MayPac #PacquiaoMayweather

"Let's go!!" — What a rally by the champion!! #JakeGyllenhaal #Southpaw #MayPac #boxing
Looks like Mayweather won by unanimous decision. So he retains his unbeaten record. "Tis a pity.
Also, I think the fight broke Twitter.
It was a terrible fight! Southpaw trailer is better than this fight.
Did you watch it, Monica? Everyone is talking about what a terrible fight it was. I don't know if that's good for Southpaw's prospects or bad.
Updated with a bunch of photos.
I give TWC credit for making some good tweets during the fight. And those short videos were great. If only this had all happened closer to the movie's release. Hopefully, it has whetted the appetite for enough folks to see the movie.
And some more tweets:
Didn't show the fight at work and totally missed it, did Jake Gyllenhaal win?
Ok but on a more serious note at least Jake Gyllenhaal graced us all with his presence
can we just all get along and agree that jake gyllenhaal looked hot af tonight at the fight
I think the only good thing that came out of the fight was Jake Gyllenhaal.
Jake Gyllenhaal to fight Floyd Mayweather in September
Could Mayweather beat Jake Gyllenhaal? I think not
I'm betting that Jake Gyllenhaal fight will be much more entertaining
SOUTHPAW @SouthpawMovie 22m22 minutes ago
Great Fight! Next up, Jake Gyllenhaal laces up his gloves on 7/24. #Southpaw #boxing #MayPac
"People pay to watch the fight; I watch Jake Gyllenhaal in the background. #SouthPaw"
LOL! These tweets are great! :)
Oh, and Ruth was there? That's good. That's really good ;)
Hello,
long time no see. I hoped I'll see there also Forest Whitaker - he is one of my top actors and he is nowhere to promote the movie. I slightly hope he would be in talk for some "supporting awards" for SP. Are there any reviews from the private screening?
Can somebody explain why Mayweather is a bad guy, I am not very involved. SV
I have noticed Jake changed his T-shirt during the event. The second one is much better. LOL SV
Hello SV!I'm so glad you're back :) I like your accurate analysis,and your comment full of personality, although we do not always agree, the beauty is right there, in the pleasure of discussion
welcome back!:)
Hi FP,
I had also some health issue, but because I never learn from my mistake I went to run again now, so to speak LOL. So thank you.
And after one year of interrogations I have been initiated into Free Masons, so I neglect Jake a bit in the last time, but so many news here.
Tony academy disappointed me on full line. Nominate one person in two men show is quite strange, also Glenn Close was snubbed. Bradley is going high with Leo's support, but Leo doesn't know Bradley is going to take over his star Nr. 1 status. So let's see. I believe SP will be Jake's breakpoint in his career. SV
Norm Clarke @Norm_Clarke 8h 8 hours ago

Ruth and Joshua Jackson doing a bit of The Affair promo?
"I have zero interest in the fight. If it weren't for Jake and Southpaw I wouldn't even know it was happening."
LOL! Same here, Ann! I'm in The Netherlands, so I hope I'm excused! But I love reading all the tweets!
Over here the papers say Beyoncé was the main attraction at the fight :) Any pics of her and Jay Z with Jake?!
Welcome back, SV!
It's nice to see that Weinstein has really committed to "Southpaw" and puts some effort into the promotion.
Jake Gyllenhaal not moved by Jamie's National Anthem (TMZ).
Jake Gyllenhaal is no boxing fraud -- the guy can brawl for real ... this according to a real deal ex-kickboxing champ who worked with Jake on his new boxing flick. TMZ Sports spoke with David Buglione -- a former U.S.K.B.A World Welterweight Kickboxing Champ -- who worked closely with Jake as his stunt double in "Southpaw." Long story short ... Buglione says Jake trained so hard for the role, he feels he made himself into a legit boxer. "Without a doubt he could compete. The time he put into the role, the way he transformed his body. It was incredible (TMZ)."
For the Hayden C concern troll: Here is an example of Jake being a jerk. Yes, Jamie Foxx is doing a terrible version of the national anthem. But Jake and Antoine Fuqua should not be chatting and joking during it. Not just because Jamie is a friend of Jake's but because it is the national anthem, no matter how it's being sung.
(Sidenote: I don't think they need to sing the NA at these events.)
Welcome back, SV. May weather is a pretty flashy guy, always bragging about how much money he's made and cars he has, etc. Pacquiao is humbler. But that's just personality. May weather has been accused of domestic violence on at least seven occasions and pleaded guilty or was found guilty twice. Yet he denies doing anything wrong.
BJ: No pics of Jake and Bey&Jay as far as I know.
I hope the enthusiasm for Southpaw that's been shown on Twitter translates into big box office for the film. It'd be nice to see it at #1. I noticed that it's still not rated, wonder what could be holding that up.
I enjoyed that video of Jake and Antoine during the national anthem only because it was nice to see Jake laughing and enjoying himself. He looked a bit serious in some of those photos from yesterday, it's always nice to see him more relaxed :)
It is nice to see Jake smile. I finally saw a few seconds of video on ESPN last night and he was smiling and chatting. I also just watched the anthem video with better sound and Jamie Foxx sounds pretty good. He just tries too many flourishes.
Happy to see Jake in the row in front of Donald Trump, lol.
Hi UV, I read today some articles about those two boxers and watched interviews. Pacquiao is yes more humble and I am glad that also e.g. Keanu Reeves supported him, who is very close to Eastern culture and is very genuine and humble guy as well. Based on this we can see how the society is split and who belongs where LOL.
I read Mayweather was convicted of domestic violence and his two sons were witnesses, what I find believable. Also five his ex girlfriends said he beat them up or at home or in supermarket without any reason. Only thing he said there is no proof or videotape, so according him, if there is not tape, probably it didn't happen.
Jamie Fox won't be happy with Jake's reaction probably. SV
I agree with you UV that it's not necessary to sing the National Anthem at a boxing event but it was so wrong for Jake and Antonio to be laughing during it, Jaime didn't sound bad but I didn't like his rendition.
Heard that Mayweather barred 2 female reporters from the event because of their critical comments regarding the domestic violence charges.
The only good thing about this I'm is all the great promo Southpaw got!
"
Jamie Fox won't be happy with Jake's reaction probably. SV"
I don't think Jake was laughing at Jamie. If you look at what is in front of Jake and Antoine after the camera shoots away I think the cause for comments from Antoine and the laughter from Jake can be seen there. A lot of the comments about the video are about what's directly in front of Jake.
There is so much noise in that video, too bad TMZ once again is trying to make a story about something that is not there. TMZ makes a mockery out of America first amendment. They do not giving a flying beep about the national anthem.
Here is a short interview with Jake on that box event:

SV
Thanks for the video, SV.
Added a couple of newshots of Jake, including a nice one taken today, I think. And a photo of Jake talking to Ruth and someone else.
Also added a Jake and Antoine interview.
And LOL at this photo.
Thanks to all who submitted updates from the fight!
That last photo of Jake with the fan is gorgeous!
Met Gala is tonight, guess we'll find out when it starts if Jake is there. Marcus Mumford and Carey Mulligan were on the list. So is Harvey Weinstein.
When does Cannes begin?
Cannes runs May 13, 2015 – May 24, 2015
Sienna Miller will be attending the met Gala, and she is also a juror for the Cannes. I hope we will see Jake. He needn't do anything complicated. Just put on that Tom Ford Tuxedo and smile. OK. At least the tuxedo.
This is a bit off-topic, but I've read one of the most perfect explanation of Enemy time ago, but haven't time to post it here, maybe you have already read it, but just in case. Everything makes sense, but it's a bit longer review:
https://shoton35.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/enemy-in-depth-analysis/
SV
But Jake isn't allowed to laugh anymore. TMZ could snap him laughing at the Met Gala and accuse him of making fun of somebody, maybe Jay-Z to make things really absurd. When he's serious: why so serious Jake? When he laughs: how dare he? Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
I want Jake to adress the double standard used on him: everybody and their mother can make insulting, idiotic, nasty jokes about him ever since BBM. But he can't laugh during a bad embarrassing rendition of the anthem where half the audience wasn't paying attention waiting for the big fight.
Somebody in HW is really afraid Southpaw could be a big hit, making Jake bankable. Getting mad respect and great reviews for movies and theatre, all he needs is a BO hit and everything will follow, awards included. Weinstein is pushing Southpaw hard, we ain't seen nothing yet, the promotional storm is coming. FP will push Demolition hard to keep the great relationship with Valle and his future movies. Jake is on the verge of hitting big and some people in HW aren't happy about it.
Jake is in this clip a few times. The clip also inexplicably repeats.
Apparently, Jake is in a video clip introducing the Southpaw preview.
I find those preview intros so cheesy.
SV, I'll have to check out the Enemy explanation. I wonder if BJ has seen it. I know she'll be interested!
"I wonder if BJ has seen it. I know she'll be interested!"
*wakes up*
What?! ;)
Yes, I've seen it. But it's quite long, so I thought, I'll read it some time - and then completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, guys! xx
Had to select hamburgers before posting :) Yummy!

These Are really some words of wisdom you wrote here Anon.
"But he can't laugh during a bad embarrassing rendition of the anthem where half the audience wasn't paying attention waiting for the big fight."
This is too stupid for words.
Well mannered people respect their country's anthem.
the end.
Well mannered people should respect the anthem of their country so as not to ruin and make it ridiculous with questionable versions in a global event.
They shouldn't have been laughing and texting during the national anthem. It is disrespectful. It is not, however, an international incident. So let's all move on.
Jake was not laughing at Jamie, TMZ sports has recanted that angle. Although not very loudly. Jake and others should have not been talking, kissing, using the cell phone while the anthem played.
Yes Jake is human but no one seems to be calling out Antoine who is clearly doing the speaking. I don't think this will hurt Jake because I am sure Jamie Foxx wants it all to be forgotten because the comments about Jake and the anthem story are merciless against Jamie's rendition.
Let it Go, Let it Go. I wish Jake would sing that song.
"Yes Jake is human but no one seems to be calling out Antoine who is clearly doing the speaking."
Exactly.
I agree, it was disrespectful, no doubt about that. But the US media made such a big fuss about it. It's so out of proportion - like so many stories about Jake. May 4, 7:31 PM Anon was right about that.
OK, I'll let it go now :)
PS: I do wish people would put a name with their posts. Too many anons, it's confusing ;)
Well, Jake's rep says they weren't laughing at Jamie...
Anyway, we are moving on. Here's a radio clip of Jake and 50 Cent. It's kind of fun to hear Jake and 50 banter, actually. Fifty definitely likes to be heard!
Energy drink promo for Southpaw.
Two twitter sightings of Jake at Soul Cycle, one yesterday and another today. In N.Y.
On a similar note jake gyllenhaal in my soul cycle class looking hot as fuck
Jake wins the fight: Look of the day.
Thanks, UV! That interview had me LOL! Hilarious. What a duo. I hope Jake & 50 get to do more interviews together. Jake might even get a chance to talk a little more! : ) They seem like they're having a good time.
Anyway seems that boxing "century match" was pretty overrated, I heard it wasn't good match, I didn't watch it, though. We are hosting Ice Hockey World Championship and yesterday's match between Canada and Czech Republic was much better, it was huge event LOL.
Btw. US still didn't lose considering they have "just" University players, Canada as well, but they have dream team.
And back to Southpaw, I still hope Forest Whitaker will have more space to promote movie as well, not just 50 cent, he is everywhere. SV
I guess Jake and Maggie made it back to New York. Pics of Maggie at the Met gala are online but no Peter or Jake. Also saw Ruth Wilson at the gala.
Peter is currently doing Hamlet off-Broadway so he probably couldn't get the night off to go. I thought Maggie looked beautiful. As did Ruth.
That Southpaw energy drink tie-in is...interesting? I guess it makes sense to reach the younger demographic.
I'm hoping Jake and Rachel McAdams do some interviews together. They seem like they have a good chemistry.
SV, thanks for posting that Enemy explanation. Definitely an interesting read.

The Hollywood Reporter: Cannes: 15 Market Titles Generating Early Buzz
Nocturnal Animals
Director: Tom Ford
The Buzz: Like Genius, the project is red-hot and could sell in the U.S. even though it hasn't begun shooting. The movie, starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal, tells two stories: that of a woman, Susan, who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, forcing her to confront painful truths about herself; and that of the manuscript, Nocturnal Animals, about a man whose family vacation turns deadly.
Sales Agent: FilmNation/CAA
Thanks, Hagen. It's good to know Nocturnal Animals is generating some excitement.
The New York Times still writes about the Tony snub:
BEST ACTOR IN A PLAY
Will win: Alex Sharp, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time”
Should win: Alex Sharp
Should have been nominated: Jake Gyllenhaal, “Constellations”
Thanks for that and the Nocturnal Animala item, Hagen. Won't it be nice to read Jake's name in the nominated rather than snubbed list someday.
I'm on my phone and don't have the links but Kurt Sutter praised Southpaw. He posted on FB, Twitter and Instagram:
Did EPK for #SOUTHPAW today. Jake and Antoine took this story to a whole other level. I am grateful and humbled to have my name on this project. I think #soa fans will fucking love it.
EPK stands for Electronic Press Kit, I think.

I'm hoping Jake and Rachel McAdams do some interviews together. They seem like they have a good chemistry.
I hope to see Jake and Forest doing some interviews together as well. I don't understand why 50 Cent is getting more attention than Forest, which is a great actor and Oscar winner.
" I don't understand why 50 Cent is getting more attention than Forest, which is a great actor and Oscar winner."
I am sure he will close to the movie's opening. Forest has more busier IMDB page than 50Ct. It still 6 weeks away from the opening. Usually Jake doesn't start his interviewing and promoting until 2 weeks before a movie opens.
I think 50 Cent is pretty well known in the boxing world which is why he was featured so much last weekend at the fight. I'm sure the rest of the cast will get more press once it really gets going.
Curtis is quite a character. I was reading about him. He's from Queens. His mother was 15 when he was born, and she was a drug dealer. She was murdered. By the time he was 12, he was a drug dealer. Raised by grandmother.
But he also started boxing when he was 11 yrs. old, and eventually participated in the Junior Olympics. He never used drugs, and he quit dealing and started rapping in the late 90s.
He survived being shot 9 times in 2000, and it was a turning point for him. (No kidding!)
He 's won a Grammy and a lot of other awards for his albums, especially from 2000 -2010. I don't begrudge him the attention. He's just a real enthusiastic person about a movie obviously close to his heart.
He really likes being around Jake & Antoine. I think he has a genuine interest in acting. This is his 4 or 5th movie, but probably the first one that has actors like Forest, Rachel, and Jake, and he's working with Antoine, too.
It has to be a real kick for Curtis because Antoine knows that world of boxing and Curtis does too. I agree, Forest Whitaker will get busy promoting Southpaw once we get closer to the July opening.
Wow Bobbyanna what an incredible life has had 50 cent!
It is admirable how he managed to get out of all the bad that happened to him in his life and how successful it has become, after what you posted I have definitely changed opinion about him, and I remembered to never judge a book by its cover.

I was wondering where Forest Whiter was too! When PR for Southpaw really kicks in expect to see him out and about promoting the movie.
So glad that fight is over, it really left a bad taste in my mouth :(
Thanks Bobbyanna, 50 cents had a difficult childhood, he really has done well for himself.
Got a pic with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams wassup
https://twitter.com/wicholasnong/status/596807496234311680
am I the only one who thinks that looks more like Ruth in that photo?
I agree Ann, that's Ruth to me.
Must be nice to have Jake as a friend and vice versa, Ruth seems so down to earth.
According to Just Jared, on Thursday Rachel McAdams left LAX on an Air Canada flight to Toronto where she lives. So yes, I think it is Ruth Jake is with.
Bobbyanna yes, it is interesting story about 50 cent, he talked about it in one talk show time ago. He also said the turning point was his son as well. Btw. he played in the move Freelancers with R. DeNiro and Forest Whitaker, but his acting wasn't very appreciated, but from SP trailer he looks more natural.
I don't mind he promotes the movie, I just want Forest to be more visible. He has one Oscar, but no other nomination, what is the shame I think. He deserves more looking at his acting. At least for Zulu, Crying game, Bird, Ghost dog - the way of the Samurai, Butler. If they appreciate black actor it is always Denzel W. or M. Freeman, but Forest is at least equal or even better IMO and not that I'd like to split actors based on colors, but Academy does that. The same Viola Davis - she is at least as good as Maryl, but no prices for her. SP might be good occasion for him to succeed. He is one of the best actors today. SV
"Must be nice to have Jake as a friend and vice versa, Ruth seems so down to earth."
Agreed. I've read several interviews with her and she seems quite ehm... normal ;) And very British. I like that. A lot.
"Must be nice to have Jake as a friend and vice versa, Ruth seems so down to earth."
She really does. She seems to care more about the work she does as an actress than the "Hollywood" scene. Which seems to be where Jake is with his career too so it makes sense they get along so well.
SV, I agree with you, except that he is good in the trailer. He seems horrible in those scenes.
People love and respect Forest Whitaker, while no one cares about 50 Cent.
Ruth seems so down to earth.
That speech at the GG let me off.
Why throw shade on Denzel or Morgan Freeman? They earned their Oscars. I like Forest Whitaker but he's no one to feel sorry for.
Forest Whitaker didn't get short changed because of Denzel or Morgan. He won a Emmy, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Oscar, plus he has a few other nominations. The Butler was a crap movie. Never even heard of Zulu. Was it released in the US?
There's no quota or limit on who gets attention. It is possible for 50 Cent & Forest Whitaker to both get attention promoting a movie. Obviously they both have different audiences.
Also 50 Cent has been doing a lot of acting in movies and TV, not just 4 or 5 films, but yes, this movie about boxing is something he probably really loves.
Also I don't think 50 has ever been involved with a movie where there's Oscar buzz right from the start.
Anon who throws shade on Denzel or Morgan, how did you deduct it is mystery for me. I talk Oscars only now, of course if we look at other awards there are many actors with much more of them, I don't care of Emmy as well. However Forest's quality doesn't reflect number of nominations comparing to Denzel. End.
Zulu is great thriller about drug dealers in South Africa, it wasn't released in US probably, not sure about Blue Ray, however it is very well shot and acted movie, Orlando Bloom was a big surprise in it, he acted there excellently, I think audience doesn't know him like this and he proved he can act very well. Whitaker had a detective role with the dark past and he was excellent, too.
Butler might be crap movie, but acting wasn't, there are many solo nominations for crap movies, so this is irrelevant. And start to introduce yourself anon. SV
Sony Classical will release a soundtrack album for the upcoming drama Southpaw. The album features the film’s original score composed by Academy Award winner James Horner (Titanic, Avatar, Braveheart, A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13). The soundtrack is set to be released in July ahead of the movie’s release (Film Music Reporter).

That jury photo looks like selfie LOL. SV.
"Anonymous Anonymous said...

Looks like any other professional head shot.
"That jury photo looks like selfie LOL. SV."
What a stupid comment. The photo is obviously part of a professional photocall, like dozens of other photoshoots Jake has done.
It's beautiful and the B/W combined with the sweater makes him look european, perfect for Cannes.
H.M.
Welcome or welcome back, H.M. It's not cool to label someone else's comment stupid. Disagree if you want. But leave the hostility at the doorstep.
The photo seems fine to me.
I wonder when Jake will leave for Cannes.
He was spotted at ABC Kitchen this weekend, and I'm pretty sure that photo with him and Ruth in the background is at Jack's Wife Freda. So he's hitting up the CZ before the Cote d'Azur.
"He was spotted at ABC Kitchen this weekend"
Based on what?
Anon@5:50 AM, "based on" the fact UV's been running this blog for the past 5 or 6 years and she doesn't post bullshit. She doesn't say things without a good reason. Your in for a surprise if you think by being a troll you can stir things up so easy.
UV, I want to say thank you for working so hard to make this the best blog for Jake fans on the internet. I am very excited for all the new movies coming up and that we can come here for all the news.
UV should post links every single time.
Rational people expect facts - not interpretations nor opinions.
Do your homework @link

Yes I agree with this, thanks UV. I'm fairly new to this blog but I enjoy having a place to read about Jake and interact with other fans. I too am excited for all the movies and news that will be happening this year so thank you for keeping it up and running!
Well, anon 5:50, since this blog doesn't measure up to your high standards, you might feel better somewhere else. LOL!
It's a fan entertainment blog not a stalker blog. LOL. That Jake everyone wants facts on him.
@link
rational people need facts in rocket science, being in restaurant really requires deep analysis, as rational person do the research by yourself, if it is so unbelievable for you. SV
"Do your homework @link"
How stupid can you be?
The point of posting on blog is sharing info.
Then look for information on your own and then share
What's going on? Come on, guys.
Link (or whatever you're called): please leave if you don't like it here or start your own blog and don't just post negative comments. To keep a celebrity-blog going is much harder than you think. And I know what I'm talking about - I've tried it myself in the past. I think UV is doing a great job.
One thing is sure on GyllenBabble: UltraViolet doesn't make up news or stories about Jake. When she posts something, it's legit.
---------------
Thanks UV, it was me, Hot Mess. You were right, the adjective was harsh - though on point, IMO - but I wasn't hostile, just honest and baffled. I came here to comment on the beautiful headshot (usual for Jake, but this time with a french vibe: the black turtleneck, a french cinema trademark), only to find something that, to me, seemed ridiculous and dismissive. I admit it was a knee jerk reaction and should've added: IMO. Lots of other people have forgotten to add IMO to their negative statements (the aggresive reaction to the jumping rope clip - after all, the interview itself turned up well; the 50Cent vs. Whitaker unnecessary war, the tweet war).
I should've deleted my comment as I've done many times. E.g. when I wanted to thank Hagen for welcoming me back (a belated TY, Hagen!) but I backed off finding a contentious dialog about temporary vs. final poster, "Weinstein won't support it" vs. "why promoting it so soon?".
Today, it seems that TWC has an elaborate plan to strongly promote Southpaw (using MayPac as a platform, releasing the soundtrack album in advance - these are blockbuster strategies). Also Harvey betting twice on the Jake-Antoine team before the release of the first movie means a lot. Yes, Harvey takes risks and if it doesn't pay off he dumps the project, but he never bets twice on someone before assessing the results of the first bet. He didn't have to finance a second project (with a law suit attached, no less), he chose to. Last year, Jake had all but 2 things: support/campaign from industry higher-ups and BO success - IMO, the main reasons why he made all the precursor nominations lists except the "powerful clique" one. This year he will have support from TWC and Fox Searchlight * and Southpaw could be his BO hit (Everest being an ensemble movie, the success will be shared; Southpaw is Jake's only.)
* I have a long-winded theory on the subject.
-----------------
With the time zone difference, if Jake took a flight this morning he will arrive in Cannes at midnight. We may see pap pics tomorrow. If not, "Jake fest" will start Thursday at 18 PM GMT, jury's first press conference, followed by the walk on the Palais stairs, the opening gala and jury presentation. In between jury sessions, the AMFAR gala. Closing ceremony on 24 and the jury second press conference.
Somewhere in between, he will fit:
- the Southpaw promotion for France. It will open wide on July 22 (!) with a french-fied title, La Rage au ventre.
Today, Premiere posted an "exclusive": https://twitter.com/PremiereFR/status/597694909194211328
- the film market, for Nocturnal Animals pre-sales.
- the famous Weinstein presentation. Which he skipped last year, leaving Harvey to present a clip of Jake's training with such dramatic flair that some reporters thought it was from the movie! This year Jake will attend the presentation, and Harvey may show different scenes than the trailer. That was for the multiplex audience, fans of fight scenes and action with a side of melodrama, Sutter fans, Fuqua fans, 50 Cent fans, people who may "discover" Jake for the first time.*
* I think it was this audience Antoine referenced: moviegoers who have a wrong perception of Jake (due to BBM), who may see and appreciate something they never thought he was capable of, thus becoming fans. New fans = more tickets = bigger BO = more clout.
So this gossip is starting up again...(sorry didn't know how to link it)
http://pagesix.com/2015/05/11/jake-gyllenhaal-spotted-kissing-ruth-wilson/
I'm gonna guess it was a friendly kiss being made into something more since they both continuously deny dating.
Why is it Page Six's sources are the only ones to ever see Jake and Ruth kiss and be cozy? Not once in any of the spottings via social media has anyone mentioned them being romantic. Makes you think maybe a certain publication is exaggerating their affection? As in the "passionate yet tasteful" kiss was probably a simple kiss on the cheek goodbye.
http://pagesix.com/2015/05/11/jake-gyllenhaal-spotted-kissing-ruth-wilson/
I'm gonna guess it was a friendly kiss being made into something more since they both continuously deny dating.
...no one knows about my private life, because I don’t tell anyone about my private life. I don’t think it’s important, and also, I want to protect the people that I am with. Why tell people about it?" she mused. "It’s not interesting to me. Ruth Wilson
H.M., I think with the photo Cannes is using, it all depends on what Jake's publicist sends them. There was something about this headshot that reminds me of the larger sized banner they hung in Berlin when Jake was on the jury there three years ago. I have tried to find it again but I couldn't. I'm sure IHJ has it filed somewhere. I really have no opinion about it.
But yes, I am looking forward to Cannes for a lot of Jake news and pictures. Hopefully the live news conferences and appearances too.
As for Jake & Ruth, I have no problem assuming at this point, they're dating and that maybe back in December, they weren't.
They've been seen together a lot lately, out to eat, on vacation in Mexico after the play ended, out to the theatre, out in LA at the fights party.
Seems like they're dating to me, but keeping it very low key. So what? Two single people meet while working together, and are attracted to one another. It happens all the time. Maybe it'll amount to something and maybe it won't.
It's too exhausting for me, keeping up with who Jake dates and whether or not I like them. It used to be a great interest to me, but no more. Obviously Jake likes to keep his personal life private no matter who it is. But they certainly have not been hiding at all.
You're right it could have been a friendly kiss, or a passionate kiss. It's all in the eye of the beholder, but from past experience, we know Jake does PDAs. LOL!So whatever you assume is somewhere in the range of corect. LOL!
Interviewer: Reviews have complimented your chemistry on stage with Jake Gyllenhaal and news reports have suggested you’re an item offstage. Is this a case of the work being confused with the reality?
Ruth: OK, yes. Are you asking if I’m dating Jake Gyllenhaal? No. I’m not dating Jake Gyllenhaal. And yes, every man in any show I do, I get aligned with having a relationship with. It’s just people bored and trying to create a story. So if that’s what you are asking, just ask it. But no is the answer.
http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/mar/08/ruth-wilson-golden-globe-affair-suite-francaise-interview-jake-gyllenhaal
So whatever you assume is somewhere in the range of corect. LOL!
Yes! I agree. I'd like to see them as a couple but I don't think they are dating. Either way, doesn't make much difference to me. It must get tiresome being asked all the time if someone you're having lunch with or seen out with is someone you're dating. People can be friends, Lol.
But yes, I am looking forward to Cannes for a lot of Jake news and pictures. Hopefully the live news conferences and appearances too.
Definitely agree with this! I'm also curious about a few of the films at Cannes so I'm looking forward to it starting.
Ann - Sorry for reposting the link after you. Longtime lurker, first time poster. The page hadn't updated.
Bobbyanna - It's not a question as to whether or not I lIke Ruth. I think she's very talented. Just pointing out with all the constant "OMG IT'S JAKE" posts you see on Twitter, etc none of them would mention him kissing a woman? Yet Page Six/NY Post sources are constantly reporting how "cozy" they are. Added with Jake's publicist denial to People; Ruth denying dating him for the fourth (?) time. Either Ruth and Jake are liars or Page Six is exaggerating.
I agree with bobbyanna...they spent too much time together to be only friends...they went together on vacation that means something.
Maybe they started their relationship after the play.
I can't wait for Cannes...
Cool blog by the way...I love it
Leticia.
"It's too exhausting for me, keeping up with who Jake dates and whether or not I like them. It used to be a great interest to me, but no more."
Sassy, I was only referring to myself not anyone else. Some people care. I don't. I used to, but I don't.
It's possible for people to deny they are dating and still be dating. It is possible for people to deny they are dating at the time of the interview and not be lying.
Look anyone who has been in relationships can tell you dating goes through phases. Sometimes things go on for a few months and then the fizzle out.
Sometimes they last longer, for years even. Sometimes they don't last beyond a couple of weeks. Why does it even matter to his fans what the status of their relationship is.
If it's serious we'll know eventually, and if it's just a thing, a fling, or WTF ever, what does it matter.
I have become very philosophical. I would love to see Jake find someone, but I have a confession. I mostly want to see him be a dad. I would love to see Jake as a father even more than I care who he's dating. I think he would be adorable. So would his kids. : )
Jake's portrait for Cannes looks somewhat better than his picture for the Berlin Film Festival.
Ann - Sorry for reposting the link after you. Longtime lurker, first time poster. The page hadn't updated.
Hey Sassy! No worries :)
And Welcome! We're in the same boat, I'm a longtime lurker and new to posting as well. I almost posted something after someone else did the other day too so, it happens.
I want to add that Jake and Ruth seem to share similar opinions about who they are with. So IMO, both of them have removed that narrative from their public conversations. There are a lot of actors out here who make their personal lives fair game. Jake no longer does that. I'm glad.
Ruth says it best in this recent quote Sassy provided, and this is NOT a denial: )
"...no one knows about my private life, because I don’t tell anyone about my private life. I don’t think it’s important, and also, I want to protect the people that I am with. Why tell people about it?" she mused. "It’s not interesting to me. Ruth Wilson
Telling people you're single doesn't mean you're lying. It doesn't mean you're not dating someone. It just means you are still figuring things out.
Ruth says it best in this recent quote Sassy provided, and this is NOT a denial: )
She did later deny it in the guardian link that I posted above. But that interview was in March, this is May, things can change. As bobbyanna, we'll know when they want us to know. Or we'll never know. But I do agree that I like that Jake isn't very public about his relationships anymore.
"It's possible for people to deny they are dating and still be dating." For many reasons...
Absolutely agree with bobbyanna!
Lots of activity today, and Cannes hasn't even begun yet!
Thanks to everyone who jumped to my defense with "Factchecker."
The Internet is a funny place. But I'm glad the people who post here regularly enjoy it and keep the conversation interesting. It's great to see so many new and old faces pippin up today.
As for Jake and Ruth? Nothing says romance like bootcamp!
I think they'd be a great couple. They had wonderful chemistry, and Ruth seems like a no-nonsense type. But it's great if they are just friends, too.
she not only denied it many times but said they are like siblings:
"He's adorable, a really good guy," "We've become like brother and sister a little bit.."
http://www.net-a-porter.com/magazine/283/10
very recent interview from May 2 2015:
Now, back in England since March after almost a year away in New York, she is enjoying a rare break in her schedule...
In real life, she says, she’s not in a relationship and trying her best to ignore “the enormous pressure as a woman of my age, that by this stage I should be settling and having kids. My mum had four by my age.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/11576114/Ruth-Wilson-Im-more-honest-in-acting-than-in-life.html
Ruth is lovely and knows and prefers to be discreet. But so was Alyssa who I like too, kind of miss her.
I care about his dating life from a fan standpoint. As a longtime fan, I'd love to see his personal life as successful as his professional one -- whether that's with Ruth or whomever else. I just think it's silly for papers to (possibly) blatantly make up affection. I know that celebrities sometimes "fudge the truth" regarding their personal lives, but why lie? Say "No Comment" and move on instead of lying. Plus, Jake seems to be the kind of guy that is upfront and honest about his personal life and would have no problem "presenting" Ruth if they were dating.
I love that Jake is covered more via social media (fan encounters) vs constant tabloid presence. It makes him seem more real if that makes sense. He's extremely talented and I'm also enjoying the press we're getting for his multiple projects this year. A big Thank You to H.M. for the extended Cannes info. I had no idea there was such an extensive media push for Southpaw in France! Very much looking forward to seeing it!
Seems like a really nice time in Jake's life :)...
On a personal note, Bootcamp sounds like my version of hell.
And hi everyone! Long time lurker.

wasn't jake hitting on models as recent as a few days ago in LA?

he was with a "leggy brunette" (sounds like another model) as his date at a fashion week event.
http://wwd.com/eye/parties/nyfw-after-parties-in-the-cold-8191718/

he's been acting single these past months.
ruth was in England from March until May 2, all the time Jake was in LA. and she attended the Las Vegas fight because it was a Showtime sponsored event. "the affair" show creator Sara Treem and the other members of the cast including Joshua Jackson were there. And the people from other Showtime shows like Claire Danes from Homeland were there too.

Welcome, Sal. We are a generally friendly place, as you know.
But someone is having a tough day today. I deleted the troll's comments. It took a long time, but after posting so much today, s/he just couldn't keep it civil!
HM, forgot to say welcome back. People react to photos in different ways. I don't think it's the best photo I've ever seen of Jake, but it's certainly not the worst!
I do think TWC has long-range marketing plan for Southpaw. I doubted them, but it seems to be working so far. I hope they keep up the pace.
I forgot about the Cannes Southpaw presentation last year. That did get people hot and bothered, lol.
I know whom Fuqua was targeting with his comments about Jake and how audiences see him, but it was an ignorant thing to say, given Brokeback Mountain. He laid on the macho crap a little too think for my taste.
I thought Alyssa was beautiful but I disagree wIth the discretion part. She posted flowers, love notes, her wearing his Yankees and Red Sox baseball caps, his sneakers and hand in her IG posts, she discussed him on a red carpet with US Weekly. Obviously we have no idea if he was okay with any of that, but probably not.
It was too snarky, anon. Calling an end to this detailed discussion now. No one knows what's happening with Jake and Ruth, and we certainly do not need to relive Jake's other relationships.
My last work on the subject: This FB post from JustJared is hilarious:
Read details of the reported kiss between Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson!
"First Ruth tilted her head to the left, then to the right..."
Yes, Weinstein was in a hurry with Southpaw working out material last year in Cannes. I read article where it was clear it's not a movie material just showing how he trains for the movie. But I would appreciate trailer Nr. 2, so maybe Cannes is the right time and place?
Those rumors about his dating are split between Ruth and Rachel and also there was some quick message about Dakota Johnson, but she dates someone else. But Ruth also said in one interview, she would never have moved to New York and wants to go back to London, but I understand they'd keep it private, if there is anything between them especially in the beginning and sometimes you think you have bromance, but in reality it is already romance :-).
UV you used CZ up in one comment. What does it mean? I am still learning you know :-). SV
That was posted already, sassy :) I think Alyssa's IG posts were fun and part of her personality. But we don't want to belabor the discussion.
SV, CZ stands for Comfort Zone. Jake has regular places that he visits often, so we dub them the CZ.
Maybe something happens in Vegas between them lol
Eonline get more details about Bootcamp...
We don't know the true but yes they spent week end together : see Carey Mulligan's show on Broadway, lunch together, bootcamp..
L.
UV thank you, because I found just Cube Zirkonium
I am already dreaming about ideal actor categories in Oscar race:
Supporting actor:
Tom Hardy - Revenant
Josh Brolin - Everest
Jake Gyllenhaal - Everest - WON
Forest Whitaker - Southpaw - alternative WON
Joaquin Phoenix - Irrational man
Leading actor:
M. Fassbender - Macbeth
Jake Gyllenhaal - Southpaw - WON
Leonardo Dicaprio - Revenant
Ian McKellen - Mr. Holmes
Eddie Redmayne - Danish Girl or someone else
LOL SV
Some people are saying Johnny Depp will be in contention, but I think the real competition this year will be Fassbender for Macbeth. So far. Of course we have Leo and isn't Tom Hanks doing something? I hate to even think Oscars. I have to purge it and just stay in the moment.
Sorry! I'm a recent lurker (since discovering your blog in January), recent poster. I'll stick to Jake's professional life. Not trying to start anything. Just pointing out the discrepancies between his "real life" vs the tabloid created life.
Bobbyanna yes, Johny Depp for Black Mass, Hanks for Ithaca? Depp may replace Redmayne, but obviously there will be some surprise and man category will be packed. This my nomination only, I am calculating it all the year. But everything will change. SV
Oh God so much pearl clutching!
Bobbyana, Fassbender is also starring Steve Jobs, one of the most anticipated of the year.
Tom Hanks is starring Spielberg's new movie.
Keep an eye on Michael Caine in Youth, which was purchased by Fox Searchlight. The film will premiere in Cannes.
The ?? is Andrew Garfield in the new Scorsese. It is unclear if will debut this year or not.
Of course we can never forget Bradley Cooper! :P
Why is it Page Six's sources are the only ones to ever see Jake and Ruth kiss and be cozy?
Harvey Weinstein!!!! lol
All the information about that scandal of Amy Adams on the Today Show came from Page Six. Amy was promoting Big Eyes from the Weinstein Company!!
Thanks. I feel like I stepped in something just trying to point out some inconsistentcy I noticed in the press. Back to lurking. :)
No need to go back to lurking, sassy. If you've lurked long enough, you know that certain anonymous posters go nuts whenever there's an inkling of a report of a whisper of a hint that Jake is seeing someone. They will do anything to "prove" that it isn't true.
Ironically, they are the posters who are usually bringing it up. We don't dwell on it here. And I don't like that sort of talk to take over, because it invariably involves people insulting the women. It's not worth it.
It's fine to mention non-work-related items. We just don't want that to be the focus.
SV, I meant to respond sooner, but yes, I forgot about Redmayne. The talk about him in The Danish Girl is very positive again this year. :(
Wow - Jake (or someone posting for him) made another Facebook post with a new Everest photo:
While shooting our film 'Everest,' I had the honor of meeting some incredible human beings from Nepal. Kind, generous, selfless people. Their country is experiencing unfathomable tragedy.
Join me, if you can, by donating to help our friends in Nepal. No amount is too small, even a few dollars helps.

The link goes to Just Giving:
Everest Productions Ltd (producers of the 2015 feature film Everest filmed in part in Nepal last year), is raising funds for the relief effort following the devastating earthquake.
Our aid is needed in the short-term to provide medicine, water, shelter, food, and the transportation means to reach those communities who have been cut off. Then longer term assistance to help these communities to slowly rebuild.
The three charities we have chosen to support are DEC, The Himalayan Trust and The Juniper Trust.
The DEC is set up to respond directly to catastrophes such as the earthquake in Nepal, and has many charities under its umbrella. It is therefore able to provide immediate assistance on a large scale.
The Himalayan Trust is working directly with individuals providing short-term localised and practical support to those affected by the earthquake.
The Juniper Trust is working to provide long term support ensuring that their projects in Nepal continue to provide healthcare and education, and emergency relief to those most in need.
Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected and to all those who showed such generosity to us during our time in Nepal.
PLEASE SHARE THIS PAGE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA - FACEBOOK AND TWITTER, SO WE CAN RAISE AS MUCH SUPPORT AS POSSIBLE.
Thank you.
They've raised more than £5 million.
I had hoped for a bit of a shave. Mais c'est la vie:
Down to earth, cool and sweet. 💖💞 #AirFrance #JakeGyllenhaal
Wow, so much going on!
Re. Oscars: I'm still recovering from this year's disappointment, to even start thinking about what will happen next year lol It seems like 'Youth' may become Fox Searchlight's priority, but there's still people predicting Jake for 'Demolition'. Again, it's too soon and I don't want to get exhausted from awards this early.
Re. Jake/Ruth: I don't understand why people care so much about this kind of things. Being curious? yes, but going as far as hating on the person who is dating your idol, it's stupid. I never understood this behaviour and never will. Ruth seem like a nice and talented lady, if they are together, good for them. If they are just friends, good for them.
Re. Cannes: Can't wait to hear some reports from there, I'm looking forward to see how Sicario does.
I had hoped for a bit of a shave. Mais c'est la vie
I may be in the minority here, but I think the beard looks good on him. I like it!
Hello all new people / new posters! :)
I've just caught up on all things Jake & Ruth - as far as we know, that is ;)
I agree with most of you. If they're dating, great! If not, that's fine too. I don't usually comment on gossip, because I think someone's private life is strictly private, but I will say that I like Ruth.
I've read several interviews with her, and I like how down to earth she seems to be. The perfect woman for Jake? Who knows...
We'll see. I'm just happy this is such a good time in his life - professionally and maybe even personally.
"I had hoped for a bit of a shave. Mais c'est la vie"
:)) Are those the stewardesses? I like his look. I guess I'm used to his beard by now :)
I may be in the minority here, but I think the beard looks good on him. I like it!
I agree with your Piruleta, I think it looks great on him. I thought he might shave for Cannes too but he looks good with or without it, imo.
So excited for all the Cannes news that's about start :)
"The link goes to Just Giving"
This is what matters in Jake's personal endeavors. That is awesome, off to donate.
Thanks UV
Not to reignite all the fuss, but looks like Ruth <a href="http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3367650/jake-gyllenhaal-lupita-nyongo-cannes-20/'>accompanied</a> Jake to France.
This should be fun :)
That doesn't look like Ruth and if it was I would think the reporters and blogs would be all over it.
But I could be wrong too and it is her.
That's not Ruth. Maybe an assistant or publicist. You can see her here: http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/3367649/jake-gyllenhaal-lupita-nyongo-cannes-19/
No it's not Ruth, it's his assistant probably. IHJ posted more pictures, this is another girl.
SV
That girl isn't Ruth. I don't think they'd show up at the airport in Cannes together knowing that people will be taking photos of celebs arriving for the festival. I think her show The Affair starts filming Season 2 soon in NYC.
Anyways, It's really terrible what's going on Nepal. I didn't realize another earthquake had hit until I read his statement. Very sad. But it's nice to see Jake trying to raise awareness and money for the people there.
Well that was no fun :)
They're just friends!
Tweets from Cannes and LA:
Enjoyed a drink at @CarltonInter 2 tables from @Jake_Gyllenhaal. My wife v. Excited, couldn't ask for a selfie. Good luck with the new film
I saw a movie tonight that doesn't come out for a really long time but y'all better see it when it does. Demolition starring Jake Gyllenhaal
LOL UV! :)
I'm looking forward to all the tweets! Always so much fun to read them! :)
Spotted already! Chatting it up on a terrace, Coen brothers and Jury! Including del Toro, Gyllenhall and Dolan! #cannes2015
Wow Demolition? There was a screening a few weeks ago in LA, from what I saw on various sites it got positive reviews. I'm really excited to see that film when it's out.
BlueJean - I agree about the tweets. Can't wait for more to come in :)

Jake look great! That suit kinda reminds me of Adam in Enemy, lol. Not a bad thing just an observation :)
He could do better with the suit. SV
I like the suit and not only Jake's. It seems at least some of the men are going for color or at least a hint of color.

I've donated for Nepal via our organization Man in Trouble, I always do it via them, they care a lot for these kind of disasters. This is horrible tragedy. SV
Jake's hair deserves an Oscar.
Sorry to interrupt our regular Cannes programme :-) I just discovered a new piece of information:
During the Berlin Intl. Film Festival, the Weinstein Co. came onboard IM Global’s “The Man Who Made It Snow,” with Antoine Fuqua directing Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal’s mother, screenwriter Naomi Foner, is rewriting the script with plans for a shoot early next year. It’s the first movie to emerge from Fuqua Films’ overall relationship with IM Global.
The Jake-Antoine-Harvey team has just become a family thing.
Details here:
http://variety.com/2015/film/spotlight/im-global-gearing-up-with-mid-budget-films-1201491132/
IM Global’s slate includes The Secret in Their Eyes with Chiwetel, Scorsese's Silence, and Free State of Jones with McConaughey, to be released on March 11 (!).
" Gyllenhaal’s mother, screenwriter Naomi Foner, is rewriting the script with plans for a shoot early next year."
That's a bit un-nerving for me. Its a bio, so I wonder how much input Jake will have since its his Mom. If Southpaw goes well financially, it would have positioned Jake and Antoine well for Snow next year.
.
It's odd that Naomi is involved. I don't want to be judge-y, but it's not what I was expecting.
New post with the Cannes photos and a video.
