Looks like we know what the train station will look like in Source Code. The Jake Gyllenhaal movie will film at the Ottawa train station in March. The station was selected for its "futuristic" design: "Built in 1966 and designed by John B. Parkin & Associates, it won a Massey Medal for architecture in 1967 and was named by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada as one of the country's Top 500 buildings of the last millennium."
The story in the Ottawa Citizen also indicates that Ben Kingsley will star in the movie. So Nizam and Dastan will reunite. The question is whether Kingsley is playing his usual villain.
Can Jake Gyllenhaal save our train station?
Found this Lego picture - I don't think we've seen this box before.
It's like Christmas in January. Except that we can't actually play with them yet. But we can take a look at the Prince of Persia toy line-up and see what Jake Gyllenhaal looks like in miniature.
So, how do you like the likeness?
This post has specifics for some of the toys, as well as the usual funny commentary. It also says these are prototypes, so let's hope they work on Jake's face a bit more. He has such an expressive face:
I know it's impossible to copy perfection, but they can get a little closer!
It's the start of a new work week (ugh) and decade, and we have new Jake Gyllenhaal photos to help us get started. Looks like Jake is back in Los Angeles:
Looking back on 2009 for a moment, a couple of nice still shots of Jake from the making of Jamie Foxx's "Blame It on the Alcohol" video. (Updated with bigger and better pics, from IHJ.)
And looking forward, is it possible Nailed could actually see the light of day this year?
After the notoriously difficult shoot of I Heart Huckabees resulted in screwball comic triumph, David O. Russell was deep in purgatory. Nailed—a D.C. satire—was set to bring him roaring back, but production shut down after Capitol Films imploded financially with the film nowhere close to done. Jessica Biel claimed there wasn’t enough footage to bring it together in post, but now the money’s been raised and the movie’s allegedly on track for the 2010 Cannes market. Meanwhile, Russell managed to shoot a whole other movie—The Fighter, a boxing movie starring the perfectly cast Mark Wahlberg—that’s also on track for release soon. Assuming the currently all-shook-up indie market can get its act together and buy/distribute the movies quickly, 2010 should give us not one but two Russell movies—even as the man himself prepares to do Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.
Thanks to Kendra/Jake Weird for finding the Nailed news! Stephanie just posted this new PoP behind-the-scenes video, from the Disney Channel:
