Jake back in the UK! On Jonathan Ross 12 October

We've been talking about it, we've been hoping for it - how we've been hoping for it - and today we find out it's really going to happen: Jake Gyllenhaal is on Jonathan Ross on October 12. Aside from the fact that, in my opinion, JR is the best chat show on British TV and Jake, surely better than any other actor, will be able to match each of the jabs, this means that Jake is coming back to the UK! .... I feel quite faint....


The surreal side of all this is that Jake is appearing on the same show as Jordan and Peter. I don't believe Jake will come all this way for just one show either, so who knows what other TV/radio Jake will do.


Brothers may film in Boston

Brothers becomes more of an imminent reality with each passing week. Besides the rumours concerning the identity of the actress, we now have confirmation that filming is to begin soon. The task is to find a suitable place in which to do it. Screenwriter David Benioff has revealed that Boston is a favourite: '“I was just talking about where we’re going to shoot the movie and Massachusetts is one of the possibilties,” he said. “The other possible place is New Mexico. But everyone would rather come to Boston than New Mexico. Sorry, New Mexico.” “Brothers” is scheduled to start shooting in November and we hear the director, Jim Sheridan, has already been in town scouting locations.'


Rendition in Rome on 21 October

Thanks to Xenia, we know now that Rendition will play at the Rome International Film Festival on 21 October. The viewing will take place at the Sala Sante Cecilia theatre and there are rumours that Reese, and possibly, Jake will be there. Are we seeing the signs of a Jake Gyllenhaal European Tour?

Okay, I'll bite: who the hell are Jordan and Peter?

I'd love to watch the show but will be forced to wait for some good person to YouTube it.

I would be very surprised if Jake eschewed the entire intervening week of possible US promotion on the talk show circuit by remaining in Europe between 10/12 and 10/21. Anything is possible, of course. But I really, really want to see him do some more stuff over here. Zodiac week spoiled me, I'm afraid. Nothing less will satisfy me. ;)

Hi Cherita :) - Jordan (or Katie Price) and Peter Andre are UK reality TV 'stars' - she's famous for her assets. He was a singer in 90s (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) and they met on a Reality TV show (I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here) and got married. I'm just trying to imagine Jordan and Jake in the same room...

I'm sure Jake will do US shows too - but it's been ages since Jake did a talk show here (JR again) - not since TDAT in 2005 I believe and so I think we're definitely due a couple. It's a real rarity for us over here to see Jake on TV and not just on a YouTube recording.

I really, really want to see Jake do the shows in the US again, but I really, really want to see him do JR too! More the merrier :D

Wow, lots of exciting news!! I HOPE someone in the UK will YouTube JR for us?!?! *Puppy eyes* I would LOVE to see that. Jake will be very busy the next few weeks. October 5th is the big New Line Party that the "Rendition" cast is supposed to be at in NYC. I know Ramona's birthday is coming up too so I am sure he will want to be wherever she is. :D Then off to the UK and I am guessing and hoping he will do the US talk show circuit too. Then possibley back to Europe for the Rome film fest?!? Well, I guess of the "Spiderman" crew could be flown from country to country for a week or two of promotion for their movie, Jake can fly around for this. ;D

And I am glad to report that there have been quite a few "Rendition" commercials on tv this week! And interesting news about "Brothers" filming in Boston. Crossing fingers that the rumors about Mischa B. are not true.

Thanks again, WDW for all the scoop!

Hi WDW -

How exciting - Jake visiting London (!) and Rome. He's going to be very busy with the Rendition promotion, and I'm so looking forward to it. And maybe filming Brothers in Boston? I about fell out of my chair when I read that. If they need a dialect coach, I am totally at their disposal! ;)

I'm only a little bit familiar with Mischa Barton from the few times I've watched the OC, and I did see Notting Hill which I loved. I've heard of the romance of the century between Jordan and Peter too, all the way across the pond. ;)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real - thanks! I don't have the technology to record for YouTube so hopefully we can get something organised in the meantime.

As you say, it looks like Jake's going to have a busy, but very exciting, fortnight or so! I understand JR is filmed on the Thursday. he may well attend the New Line party in NYC and the Rome event. And I'm sure there'll be more - the US TV circuit won't be excluded I'm sure. It looks like there'll be something for everyone and in the end we should all get it all! It's going to be a great time :D We need to keep our ears open to hear what might go on - very exciting!

That's great that you've seen adverts for Rendition - there's been nothing in the UK that I've seen, which is frustrating as it opens at the same time here. Zodiac had next to no publicity in Europe except for Cannes - let's hope Rendition can make a difference.

Marina - that will be wonderful if Jake does end up spending some time in Boston filming - you'll have to report for us! I definitely think you should offer your dialect training services ;)

Can someone remind me - who was the Mischa character in Notting Hill? I'm probably being dense but I can't remember a young girl in it. makes me feel old though :)

I THINK I have two copies of Interview "at the desk" at B&N Pittsfield tomorrow (the B&N magazime person in Hadley will not unpack the shipment until Monday the bitch) - the guy on the phone got kinda freaked out when spelling my name I said "D as in dracula" - I thot it was funny! He apparently didnt!! Whatever!

An exciting season! Jake in London, Jake in Boston! Jake in ROME? Could be! BASTA FAGIOLI!

Anonymous said...

I don't remember a little girl in it either, I just remember I saw it, and it was a romantic comedy I enjoyed. I'm going to have to think back. I just remember Hugh and Julia in it. *sigh*

Old? Tell me about it! All this talk of indie music made me remember that I've been a fan of and have been listening to so-called "indie" music for well over 20 years, when I discovered alternative and college radio stations playing the most creative songs, and intelligently amusing. I love all kinds of music, but I tend to gravitate to indie because of it's creativity, freshness, and that the focus isn't on commercialism, only maybe when they hit the big time! I like to say "oh yeah, I remember them when".

If I ever get to see anything related to Brothers filming in Boston, believe me, you'll all be the first to know! ;)

Interview magazine isn't out on my newstands yet either, and I wasn't able to hear the clip with David and Jake yet, so maybe it'll work today. :)

Cheers!

During the press junket Hugh Grant inadvertently becomes part of, he's shuffled from room to room to interview the actors from Julia's new movie. One of the interviewees is the young, and precocious, 12 year old actress from the film. Mischa Barton.

Positively Pia - I'm having a glass of red and toasting you right now *) I think D for Dracula seems perfectly sensible...

I've been a fan of Jake for quite a long time now and I think the coming month is going to be extremely special for us all - and that's on top of Toronto! It may be too much...

Hi Marina I agree - indie music isn't a new invention - I've been a fan of it all my life. I was playing Arcade Fire on my drive to and from work today and I'm hooked.

Can you not download the Interview extract from IHJ?

Felicia - thank you, my friend :D I'd forgotten that bit - I feel old now :(

Jonathan Ross is just starting on the TV here now and my thoughts are two weeks away from now.

I lurve Jake's smile in that first picture in the post. Man, I really hope that interview gets YouTube'd or something, cause I know a lot of us here in the States would be dying to see that.

By the way: anyone have any info on the latest picture of Jake uploaded on IHeartJakeMedia.com? The one with Jake holding the guitar? I had no idea he could play the guitar. Or is it just a pose? They have it filed under Interview magazine, but I haven't seen the picture anywhere else.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Fourplay - I cerainly hope someone will YouTube it :D That picture is an outtake from Interview I believe. It'll be in tomorrow's post as it gave me pause for thought :) In the commentary to Bubble Boy jake seemed to indicate that he can play guitar at least at a basic level ;)

Make way,make way,newly rejuvenated woman coming through doing back-flips of delight!

Well metaphorical back-flips anyway. When your whole day has been a complete pain in the backside and you've got a raging sore throat into the bargain,what is guaranteed to make you feel 100% better?! The news that Jake is going to be in England soon and on the Jonathan Ross show two weeks from right now,of course! Thanks for being the bearer of such glad tidings,WDW!!

Let's hope that he manages to fit in a few more shows,on TV and radio,while he's here.

I must admit I had a little chuckle to myself when I read that Katie and Peter were going to be on the same JR show. It'll be a lively green room that night,for sure! I'm not sure Jake will have come across too many women as gobby and full on as our Katie aka Jordan,bless her,and even with her husband in tow,I wouldn't put it past her to do some outrageous flirting with Jake. It would be interesting to see how he handles it.

For those of you not familiar with Katie/Jordan,she's a British "glamour model",best known
for two things,both of them made of silicone. I wouldn't say they were big,but the last time I saw an outline like that it was the photo-finish in a Zeppelin race! And she can talk the teeth out of a saw,so it should be a real laugh! Can't wait!

I'm not surprised that those involved with "Brothers" are in favour of Boston as a location,rather than New Mexico. I would think Jake would definitely by pulling for that as he'd be within easy reach of Maggie,Peter and his beloved Ramona,and Chris on the doorstep too,so it would be pretty much a home shoot for him. I'm talking as if he's been confirmed in the role already,which I don't think is the case,but I definitely have a good feeling about it! :-)

Thanks for another sparkling,highly appetising post,WDW! I feel like a new woman(now where am I going to get one at this time of night...?).

Yay!!!this is brilliant news, thank you WDW!!! I've just watching JR. I really enjoyed his interview with Jamie Foxx, but I kept thinking "Never mind his Oscar and his new movie(which lokks really good btw),when's he going to ask him about Jake?" I forget sometimes not everyone's as obses...er, admires Jake as much as me!
Jordan and Peter though!!!WTF?! Seriously, I spat my tea out when I read that! How are they even on JR at all, let alone on the same show as Jake? In fact, why are there other guests at all? Surely Jake deserves a whole show to himself? He could sing the closing number at the end too :) Oh, that's a thought, I wonder what song Four Poofs And A Piano will sing when he walks out?
Anyway, it's going to be great to see Jake back over here and I can't wait to see him on JR:)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Oh Nadine - what a fabulous comment :) I'm sorry you caught my sore throat :(

For us Brits, this is such great news - it feels like such a long time since we saw Jake here - Jake came here for the Baftas when Zodiac came out, and for some junkets, but no chat shows. I did a backflip too, without a doubt. And there'll be other shows too - maybe Parky and is Jo Wiley doing anything on the radio as her crush for Jake is legendary!

I had a big chuckle too when I saw that Jordan and Peter were on the same show - I can just imagine Katie fluttering those eyelashes - and other accessories- at Jake! I love your zeppelin comment, Nadine. I saw Katie when she was doing a book talk not that long ago and she was very funny.

As for Brothers, Boston would be perfect for Jake and I hope it's filmed there for his sake :)

We are so lucky - another great day!

You guys are making me laugh, Nadine and TwistedLogic - I hope we get a YouTube or something of Jake on Jonathan Ross. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

OhTwisted Logic - I was waiting for you to comment - I knew this would get you as it got me. I think the Four Poofs and A Piano will definitely have Jake on their T-shirts that night. I just saw Jamie Foxx on the show too (and Ewan MacGregor next week...).

I definitely agree tat there can be no time for any other guests when Jake's on the shoe! I can just see the Green Room when I close my eyes, with Jake edging further away on the sofa from Jordan, while Peter snarls :D Great TV and I'm so glad we're going to see Jake over here doing the talk shows (hopefully more than one) for the first time in over two years.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Marina - I think we'll be OK, someone will get it. I don't have the technology myself but I'm sure amongst ourselves we can save this show. We have a mission :)

I just hope Jake, Jordan and her assets and Peter can all fit on the sofa in the Green Room! ;)

Hey WDW! I know, it's great isn't it? We've said so many times how much we'd love to see him on JR and now it's going to happen!!! Come on, Jake, own up - you've been reading us again, haven't you?!;)

Your vision of the Green Room is the stuff of nightmares! Poor Jake! And poor us, if that's the impression he has of British women. She'd better not scare him off the UK for good. Pity Jake and ewan McGregor couldn't be on the same show. Then again, there's only so much hotness I can handle!

Btw,thinking of a song for FPAAP, how about "Blue Eyes" by Elton John?

Anonymous said...

Thank you WDW. Anyone who can play an instrument immediately goes up several points on my Hot-O-Meter (doubly so if their name starts with a "J" and ends in an "ake") :D

I've always wanted to travel to Europe. Jake being there only makes me want to go more.

From how you all talk about Katie(Jordan), I can't help but agree with Nadine that it would be interesting at the very least to see how Jake responds to her flirting.

Really delighted about the news that Jake will be in the UK for Rendition! Sweet!And the idea of them filming Brothers in the Boston area is just SO cool. Yeah. This has been a good day.

Hi everyone! I was so shattered last night I fell asleep in the middle of writing a comment. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I won't be able to post until tomorrow but I will be able to chat this evening :)

Hey Marina - I just hope Jake, Jordan and her assets and Peter can all fit on the sofa in the Green Room! ;) - just can't get that image out of my head...!

Twisted Logic - Blue Eyes is an excellent choice. And it is good that jake took pity on us in the end and booked his place on the show - thanks, Jake :)

Hi Fourplay - I can just imagine Peter looking on helplessly while Katie flickers those long false eyelashes at The Hottest Bachelor in America.

Hey Bobyanna - definitely a great day, and with plenty more to come I reckon :)

Hey Bmg Yep Richard Hawley - I take it you like him then? ;)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Xenia if you see this, can you email me - wetdarkandwild@googlemail.com - as I've been having a look at some Italian press about the Rome festival and there are only two words I can understand - Jake and Gyllenhaal. Help! *)

I don't have the technology myself but I'm sure amongst ourselves we can save this show.

You don't need much. Start with DVD recorder for your TV (60 - 100 GBP).

DVDs produced by DVD recorder can be watched by standard, free DVD player on your PC + you can make screen captures.

In order to make MPG videos you will need DVD Ripper software (~40 USD).

That's it!

Oh dear, Jake looks absolutely distraught in the latest update on IHeartJakeMedia. The paps seem to be getting bolder and bolder now (like ambushing Jake in his frigging car!), which, I remember, they did a while back as well, even with Jake motioning them to go away (with the cutting-the-throat sign, the picture of which I can't seem to find at the moment). I hope this doesn't cause him to go into hiding or something, although I can't blame the guy if he did :P.

Anywhoo, can anyone tell what's in his mouth? Looks like a toothpick, methinks.

On another note, I think I may have changed my mind about the facial hair. The pictures really made me reconsider my stance on the issue that Shaved!Jake is better than Scruffy!Jake (lol, I sound like a politician). Actually, I think the hair now looks tons better than the aging job they did on Jack in Brokeback. Still, Any!Jake is better than No!Jake!

Even when ambushed by paparazzi, he still looks ever-so dashing. And yummy. Can't forget yummy.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

hi fourplay! Still on my phone here :( I managed to see the pics and I think they just show a man annoyed to be having cameras going off so close to his face while driving. After a minute or two jake will be away from them and probably remembering a good party. So you're coming round to the beard now! I can definitely see the beauty in both too!

Anonymous said...

Since I'm not from the UK, this appearance of Jake on this JR show sounds like its gonna be alot of fun! I'm sure between WDW and IHJ, someone will put it up on youtube.

I got a friend of mine who subscribes to IMDb Pro to check out the Brothers page. It's already apparent but, it is official on both Jake and Tobey's page that their attached to this, but so far anyway, Mischa Barton is NOT listed (phew!).

Mischa Barton also happened to have been in one of Enrique Iglesias music video's.

Jake will certainly be a busy boy in October jetsetting all over the world. Here's hoping that since Rendition is premiering in the US, UK, and Canada, all on Oct. 19th, that we'll see him doing promotion/TV interviews/magazine interviews a little bit in all 3 countries!

WDW, here's hoping you get your rest.

It is a shame in the latest pics on IHJ, Jake does look somewhat peeved, and you certainly can't blame him. It's a bit bold that they were also able to photograph inside his car (you can see a pic of the original Charlie's Angels). Jake knows it comes with the business, but I'm sure it can be quite trying for him at times.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

hi jantoinette! Those pics were so close to see inside the car like that - i've not had the chance to have much of a look yet. Thanks for the info on imdb, it feels like it really is going to happen. October is going to be so exciting for up and (hopefully) so busy for jake! I think there'll be something for us all - i'm thinking that the premiere will be in rome but who knows:)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Anon thanks for commenting and for the technical information. I don't have a dvd recorder unfortunately - hopefully someone here has and we can pool resources :D

KeepCalm+CarryOn said...

'Evening all. It's no wonder I've picked up your sore throat,WDW,I spend so much time here. Worth risking the contagion though! ;-)

I have to say though that I found those pap pics on IHJ quite depressing and disturbing,not least because in his efforts to make a quick getaway from the scumbag Paparazzi he hasn't put his seatbelt on! Belt up, will ya hon?!

I hate the hunted look in his eyes,it's maybe just temper and exasperation but he has the air of a cornered animal about him and,but for the car windows,they'd be shoving their cameras up his nostril. Let's hope this more aggressive,quite literally in-yer-face kind of papping doesn't start to become a regular occurrence!

But I mustn't drag the mood down. As we speak we are already one day closer to Jake on Jonathan Ross! Roll on the day!

Night folks,sweet dreams!

Oh Nadine, you must have read my mind, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the pics. Honestly, I understand that he would've wanted to get away asap, but it only takes a few seconds to put a seatbelt on and it's not worth putting himself in danger like that. I'm quite happy to nevber see those pics again, once was enough. He looks seriously pissed off and upset. I hope it's just cos of the paps but he usually just seems to take them in his stride and ignore them, so I hope he's ok.It's not often I feel at all motherly or sisterly towards Jake,but I really wanted to just give him a hug after seeing those pics, but not in the way I usually do. Hopefully WDW is right and he's forgotten all about it now:)

And yes, Nadine, you're right we've got plenty to look forward to. Jake on JR (and I'm sure he'll be on other shows), Jake in Rome doing his Movie Star thing, and of course, Rendition itself. Is it me or does it feel like Christmas has come early (and not just because all the shops are full of mince pies and xmas cards already!!! it's only September, for crying out loud!!! )
Hmmm...now I'm thinking,advent calendars...Jake... Jake as Santa Hat Swoff, with a Dairy Milk square hidden behind every muscle, with an extra big one behind a strategically placed 25th window;D Cadbury's could make a mint here!

Excuse me, I need to go and lie down now!

I don't like seeing these pics either, they are a perfect example of paps going too far IMO. I don't like seeing Jake look so distressed. However . . .

He does look very, very handsome in these pics, he looks positively Elizabethan in the second pic (3/4 profile, serious expression). We seriously need to see this man in Shakespearean theater one day. Sorry, shallow of me, I know! ;)

Anonymous said...

Those pics; he's sharply dressed (which I like) but obviously harrassed (which I don't). Maybe he should take the lead from kate Moss, Madonna and Liz Hurley and buy a bolt hole in the Cotswolds where he can play lord of the manor and jog around his estate to his heart's content.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi everyone - I'm back :) - so what have I missed....

Hi Nadine - I think that if this was a private Hollywood party the paps would have been lying in wait for whomever they could get. It can't be pleasant having to run the gauntlet like that. That is definitely the downside to the job just as we all have downsides to our own jobs.

Hi Twisted Logic - I would think Jake's expression is because of the situation at that moment and not from anything else. Having flash bulbs go off in your face like that when you're trying to drive through a crush of paps. Maybe he got the toes of one or two of them...

It really is a bonanza Jake time for us (I couldn't believe it when I saw the Christmas stuff in the shops yesterday.... OT moan). Definitely time to start thinking about getting in the Jake calendars. An advent calendar is a great idea - Jake and chocolate :D

Thanks Crumblepie

Hey Marina - Jake does look so handsome like that. I'm hoping the beard doesn't get any longer/bigger but it goes so well with Jake's hair like that.

bmg - ...buy a bolt hole in the Cotswolds - oh yes please - we'd be neighbours!

Anonymous said...

Woah, Jonathan Ross - Jake is reading our minds :) Wonderful!

I had a look at the IHJ pics but I thought he just looked a bit frustrated at being papped while trying to reverse out. And he's sucking his comfort straw so he can't smile or emote via the mouth (so important in a Jake pic) :)
