What do you get when you cross...





???????

According to Jake Gyllenhaal, this:



The folks at Gemma Arterton Online have scans of a Prince of Persia preview from the French magazine Studio Ciné Live. Their 20010 preview issue highlights three of the PoP principals: Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton.



Jake is described as an actor at the top of his game. And Jake describes the Prince:

"Dastan est un mélange de Rafael Nadal, de Mick Jagger et de Denis la Malice."

Someone really needs to do a morph of those three and Jake!

More on Dastan: "Il accumule les bévues, il pense qu'il a toujours raison, il est sarcastique, pince-sans-rire et surtout tres insolent."

Rough translation: "He makes mistakes but always thinks he's right. He's sarcastic, deadpan and always very arrogant."

I love that description! I think Jake then goes on to talk about how this is what he wanted to do as a kid, and also about all the training he had to do.




Paging Lemon or other French-speaking GBers. I can get the gist of most of it, but I don't want to try a real translation! not that we'd expect anyone to do that, either. But if you see something amusing or noteworthy, let us know.

I think Gemma describes a scene where Dastan warns her not to cut herself, and she did just that.


From Jake's newest movies to one of his first, A Dangerous Woman. This clip showed up on youtube, and I don't think I've ever seen it before. Jake's definitely in young punk mode!



There's a quick snippet of Jake at that Maui Film Festival at the end.


If you can stand the cacophony and the inanity, there's a very brief snippet of a very smiley Jake attending the CAA pre-Golden Globes party:



Peter and Maggie are listed, as well, but I couldn't take watching the whole video! Jake appears about two minutes in:




Yup, wearing The Jacket again :)

"What is this?"

It's movie time. It's going to be a gray Sunday here. Perfect weather for a Jake Gyllenhaal marathon. Of course, we all have all of Jake's flicks, so here are some rare videos from The Vault. Pop some popcorn, sit back and enjoy.

First up is a hilarious interview from the promotion for The Day After Tomorrow:



I think that's the only time I've ever heard Jake mention his uncle.

Present day - not funny at all. Brief clip of Jake and Reese arriving at LAX from Europe:



Back to the vault for a snippet of an interview with Jake and Mary McDonnell, aka Mrs. Darko:



You just get to see Jake briefly (but more clearly) at the beginning of this one and hear him at the end:



Such a tease. I'd love to see that whole interview!

Now it's 2005 and Jake's in Maui and the Arctic Circle, as seen on Entertainment Tonight:



Flash forward to the present - because who can ever see enough of this clip?



Happy viewing!
