Dastan's Destiny

Unlike the amateurs at Lionsgate, Disney knows how to market a movie. Yahoo Movies has a behind the scenes look at Prince Dastan, the titular hero of the Prince of Persia. Jake Gyllenhaal, Jerry Bruckheimer and Mike Newell are interviewed briefly. And we get to see a little more of the Prince - fighting, flirting and flying through the air. And using that sexy accent!

New chestage from Prince of Persia

With Brothers into its third week at the box office, it seemed the flood of Jake Gyllenhaal news might lessen. But the good folks at Entertainment tonight have stepped in, providing a couple of new video clips of Jake on the set of Prince of Persia. Most if this isn't new, but the new stuff is quite enjoyable.



Thanks to the ever-vigilant Stephanie for getting the clip - and screencaps - up so quickly!





Jake, this is no time for laughing - they're aiming right at you!

ET Online has a clip with Jake talking about bulking up for the role:

As we saw this weekend, Jake has not made good on his word to get fat. But he looks happy :)

Video Game Awards

Jake Gyllenhaal was a presenter at Spike TV's Video Game Awards. He looked cool in casual duds, including the infamous grandpa sweater as he presented a "first look" at Prince of Persia. We've seen most of this before, but it seemed to get a good reaction from the gamer crowd.






Jake returned to the stage to present the award for Game of the Year to a game I'd never heard of, which won over other games I'd never heard of. Worthy challengers all, I'm sure.








Thanks to Stephanie for the fast uploads on the videos!

Some new shots of Jake and Tobey Maguire at the Variety screening of Brothers last week.

The letter of the day is S

Okay, technically, it was O, but S is for Sesame Street and "separate," which was Jake Gyllenhaal's word to demonstrate on today's show. S is also for Stephanie/IHJ, whose quick work means we can all watch. Thanks, Stephanie!



After the high intensity of Brothers, it's fun to enjoy light-hearted Jake.



We didn't see this version of Jake today - maybe he'll be on another show!



And I don't remember this watery background - guess I'll have to watch again!
