Now that his investigation into public shaming is behind him, Ronson, who co-wrote the 2014 film Frank (inspired by his own stint as keyboardist in Frank Sidebottom’s band in the 1980s), is turning back to screenwriting.
“I’ve just finished co-writing a film called Okja, which is written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, who made Snowpiercer. I’ve just written the second draft of his next film, and it’s about to start filming with Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kelly Macdonald, Paul Dano, and Bill Nighy. That was brilliant, and it’s going to start filming in a couple of months. And I loved that – working with Bong was brilliant, and having Skypes with Tilda Swinton was brilliant as well.
Frank was well-received, as I recall.

LOvely post UV. I am also looking forward to seeing Demolition. FYI, Jake does have one nomination this year for Southpaw; Jupiter Awards nomination for international star. I believe its a German award but still nice for Jake.
I wished Jake got more recognition for his international appeal because he does have it.
So I watched the video of Jake at Martha's Vineyard and I literally cringed when that girl at on the mic just blatantly asked him out! I had to pause the video to regain my composure. lol Why would you do that in a room full of people?
"when that girl at on the mic just blatantly asked him out!"
What is wrong with that? I think it was a good tactic, because it put Jake in the hot seat, LOL. But at the same time I don't think she was seriously waiting for a yes answer. You never know until you ask.
I don't know as a person from Boston and that happening in my own back yard; that I want to watch a movie of that just yet. That just me I guess, pretty cool he is in town I'll have to keeps look out :)
To Kill a Mockingbird is going to Broadway, although I don't like Sorkin personally, I wish Jake would get that lead role but probably not going to happen.
Ford spoke to TIME from London, where he’s wrapping up edits on his second film, Nocturnal Animals, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams (TIME).
You received critical and commercial success for writing and directing A Single Man (2009). Were you concerned about tempting fate with Nocturnal Animals?
No, because it’s so much fun. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. Why would I deprive myself? It’s the ultimate design project! If you want to come close to playing God, write, direct, produce, edit a film. You design a world, you design everything about it and everyone in it–what they say, do, whether they live or die. It’s just so exciting.
Wow, that is a terrible photo, lol! This one and this are a little better.
Lucky students, though! I wonder if we'll see any video from it.
Hoping we hear or see something concrete from Nocturnal Animals soon. Tom Ford seems like he'd be hard to deal with personally or professionally!
Scott, I had the same thought about To Kill A Mockingbird. I don't know if Jake will be old enough for the role. Gregory Peck was older for the movie, but I don't remember his age as described in the book.
Stefanie, not sure if you ever got to see the video. It's on the IHJ video page if you can't see it here. I'm from Boston, so I know how you feel about the Marathon bombing. I don't necessarily think it's too soon, but it has to be done sensitively but not toothlessly, if that makes sense. A hard line to toe.
Thanks UltraViolet ��. I really hope the movie is done tastefully. I was there on NewburyStreet Street that day with my boyfriend eating at Stephanie's when those bombs went off. It was so scary. I don't think I could sit in a theater and watch it, maybe in my own home I could but not a movie theater. Stay warm it's going to be cold this weekend.

My God, Jake singing "Maria" live, with no orchestra, sound editing or other gimmicks. What a beautiful voice. David Denby acting all superior only to have his jaw dropping when he heard him sing. Somebody has to upload the part of Jake singing Maria on youtube.
What a New York night! I wish you had been able to go, Chica. But at least we got to see it. And they have the replay up, in case you missed it. Never thought I'd get to hear Jake sing Maria :)
I bet Jake is working his way up to performing in a full blown musical. : ) (WishFul thinking on my part, but hey! : ) )
I can see him as Tony much easier than I can see him as Leonard Berstein.: ) Although Jake would make a great Billy Flynn if they decide to cast him in Chocago revival.
I haven't had time to watch the full show earlier, and I can't seem to find it on the Lincoln Center website anymore :( Anywhere else I could try maybe? Thanks! xx
Jake was spotted at a Lincoln Center concert of The Secret Garden:
With my main man @Lin_Manuel @ActuallyNPH and Sweet Jakey Gyllenhaal (and @LaurenMuracz)
attending The Secret Garden (A Concert Performance) at David Geffen Hall. Jake Gyllenhaal is here, holding his little niece's hand. That is worth the ticket price right there.
In the words of Drew Wutke "I'm living my best life" seeing secret Garden and Jane Gyllenhaal is here. Oh my God!
Demolition played at the Glasgow Film Festival tonight. Some reactions:
Enjoyed French thriller Demolition today at #GFF16 – intense, subtly nuanced and, frankly, handsome. Fantastic sound design to boot. (no idea if this is a mistake?)
Today at #GFF16: Louder Than Bombs and Demolition. Both deal with grief and loss — but they are *very* different films.
Finished my #GFF16 trip with Jake Gyllenhaal's latest film Demolition. Offbeat meltdowns and unusual epiphanies. Excellent.
#GFF16 'Demolition' - walks a very fine line, it's certainly an unreal reality depicted. I think it pulls it off, but others will disagree.
DEMOLITION: how does one (re)act in grief? Unravelling, regression, putting up walls, tearing down. Watts underserved but great as is Jake G. Its quirk is as great as it is grating at times and the cynics might label it mawkish. Fuck 'em. I disagree and really cared for it. Take me
Nice photo of Jake and Maggie. With maybe Ramona standing beside them. May I add some other photos and tweets from The Secret Garden anniversary concert revival.
Mads @madeline_myslow my little heart can't handle being in the same room as Lin Manuel Miranda, Sierra Boggess, Ramin Karimloo, Gyllenhaals, & Cheyenne Jackson. when you casually see Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal at the theater.

@Pathe Demolition is mijn #PACFest14 winnaar. Jake Gyllenhaal laat weer even zien hoe het moet. Perfecte mix van humor en drama #Demolition Demolition is my # PACFest14 winner. Jake Gyllenhaal shows again just how it's done. Perfect mix of humor and drama.
Jake Gyllenhaal heeft in Demolition weer een geslaagde rol neergezet, tragikomedie die ook echt heel grappig is. Jake Gyllenhaal in Demolition has made again a successful role, tragicomedy which is also very funny.
Als je heel vaak hardop wil lachen om een ietwat vreemde Jake Gyllenhaal dan moet je naar Demolition. Wat een film! #pacfest14 If you often want to laugh out loud with a somewhat strange Jake Gyllenhaal then you need to see Demolition. What a movie!
Ohh mensen, ga Demolition zien. Wat een heerlijke topfilm. Hardop lachen om de absurdheid. #pacfest14 Oh people, go see Demolition. What a lovely top film. Laughing out loud at the absurdity.
Where did you find that, Anon? :) The translations are perfect!
I saw some (very positive) 'Demolition' reviews on another Dutch movie website and I had been wondering where people got to see it - and now I know! :) Shame I didn't know about the event earlier.
I like how lots of people call it "funny". Don't get me wrong, I love Jake "dark", and I have no doubt 'Demolition' will have its dark side, but I can't wait to see him in a role that's somewhat funny as well. He hasn't done anything like that in a long time - and I'm not counting 'Accidental Love'... ;)
Thanks for all the tweets and links, Anon 10:40. Glad to hear the positive Demolition response. It's a shame you didn't know, BJ. How great would it have been to catch Demolition early!
The Brits are living up to their reputation as Jake fans. More from Glasgow:

#JakeGyllenhaal plays such a wonderful part - ok, as always - in #DemolitionMovie. Congrats to his young partner on screen #JudahLewis. Great story about loss, and the help you can get from others... Very moving, but also so funny sometimes #DemolitionMovie
Really enjoyed Demolition. Great, committed performance from Jake Gyllenhaal in a funny, charming, slightly odd film. #GFF16
Genuinely loved Demolition. Quirky, touching & funny, it's refreshing to see a film about grief/loss that doesn't wallow in self pity. Gyllenhaal is excellent as ever. Also, grateful that it's not manipulative in its search for emotional resonance. This is how some people deal with loss. It's just wonderfully played out. It would've been too easy to make the film miserable experience. Handling of loss is terrific. Some people simply focus on something else.
Loved "Demolition" Jean-Marc Vallee continues his run of excellent form. A funny thoughtful and beautifully presented take on grief #GFF16

It's been a quiet period for Gyllenbabblers and Jake, but looks like all that will change soon with Stronger starting to film at beginning of April, Demolition coming out at end of April and Okja (seemingly) starting to film not to long after that. With The Current War filming in September and Nocturnal Animals coming out in the fall (just guessing), it should be an interesting year. RH

just met jake gyllenhaal. he said fuck like 15 times while conversating with me. i fell in love a little.
News on Jake's next movie (after Stronger):

Hope everyone is OK.

The short film about the Roundabout Theatre Company is up. Jakes not in it much, but he looks good.
I also added a new Demolition publicity still, a great one.
I didn't know about the Jupiter Awards, Scott. Good for Jake!
BJ, I didn't even think of that. I wonder if Jake will have scenes with him and with Tilda Swinton.
So I watched the video of Jake at Martha's Vineyard and I literally cringed when that girl at on the mic just blatantly asked him out! I had to pause the video to regain my composure. lol Why would you do that in a room full of people?

He just sang Maria from West Side Story!!
He has a great voice!

My God, Jake singing "Maria" live, with no orchestra, sound editing or other gimmicks. What a beautiful voice. David Denby acting all superior only to have his jaw dropping when he heard him sing. Somebody has to upload the part of Jake singing Maria on youtube.
Wow he sounds amazing,I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to see it live (believe me I tried). West side Story is my favorite musical!
What a New York night! I wish you had been able to go, Chica. But at least we got to see it. And they have the replay up, in case you missed it. Never thought I'd get to hear Jake sing Maria :)
I am so jealous of those that got to witness him sing! I feel left out being across the pond :( I want him to come to the West End again.
Could someone provider the link to the replay? I could not find it.
Never mind, found it. He was so good and he showed his acting chops as well.
If you can't get the Lincoln Center link to work, someone put it on youtube.
Sal, the venue is very small, so hardly anyone got to see him. Don't feel bad! But it would be great for him to go to the West End again.
I loved it! Thanks UV!
I bet Jake is working his way up to performing in a full blown musical. : )

What a beautiful controlled voice he has! UV how lucky you got to see him live! I definitely feel a musical coming soon.

Torn about Demolition. Some great moments & mounting sense of tantalising dark humour, but marred by film school screenplay clichés. #GFF16
That last tweet is from the tweeter above who mistakenly identified Demolition as a French thriller.
I think Demolition will satisfy folks who want to see Jake in something lighter. Even though it's a dark premise, there is light :)
Oops. They aren't all raves.
Caught #Demolition at #GFF16 today. Eh. 6/10 at best, trying really hard to be Fight Club and came out with nowhere near enough substance. Some moments of real hilarity and the occasional really heartfelt scene though, and Gyllenhall's performance was great. Also if Vallée could stop shoehorning meaningless queer tragedies into his plots as an attempt at adding substance that would be cool
Agree on the last point. Don't agree or really get the Fight Club reference.
Just saw a post on AW and in a Tom Ford interview with TIME,it s say's he's nearly done editing the film. So hopefully we get a announcement on a release date and maybe a teaser.
