October Sky Flashback

It seems like October Sky has been running on cable frequently these past few weeks. Here's some vintage footage of Jake at the OS premiere, including a snippet of him with Jamie Lee Curtis:

I've caught the movie a couple of times recently and am always reminded how good Jake was, how watchable and how compelling.

In more recent old news, here's a brief Source Code interview with Jake and then Michelle:



And a couple of random shots I found. I don't remember seeing this shot of RDJ grabbing Jake's arm. Looks like he doesn't want Jake to leave!



And I just like the framing of this shot, from a Love & Other Drugs LA premiere:

Jake on video

Updated to include a few pictures of Jake from the Fincher tribute tonight.









No, not taken by a whiny pap but filmed by Hype Williams. Apparently, Jake Gyllenhaal was among the friends tapped by Jamie Foxx for his latest video, Blame It. The clip will premiere on February 9, but in the meantime, here are some stills:





Nice hat!




Speaking of videos - David Fincher got his start directing them. And tonight, Jake is scheduled to be at a tribute to David Fincher as part of thee Santa Barbara Film Festival.

On Friday, January 30, SBIFF will present “A Celebration of David Fincher,” where he will be joined by Jake Gyllenhaal, Academy Award-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson and a few special friends.







Let's hope the evening offers spectators some good give and take between Fincher and Gyllenhaal.



They fight, but we know they really like each other under it all.

And how cool would it be if RDJ showed up for some witty commentary?

Signs of the Zodiac

Robert Downey Jr. paid a visit to Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon in Ojai over the weekend. Hiking and coffee were on the menu. So cool to see Jake and RDJ together and to see Atticus along for the fun!













And just because:
