Jake's lunch with David O Russell - Nailed on the menu?

Thanks to some supersleuthing by some WDW readers, it seems there could be more to Jake's lunch with his friend yesterday at Brentwood's Early World Restaurant than first meets the eye. The friend was none other than David O Russell, director of Nailed and a man who can reduce actors to shivers of cold sweat with just the hint of a direction. But not Jake Gyllenhaal! Despite all the difficulties of filming, and the possible troubles that have since waylaid Nailed, both director and actor are still happy to share a hug.



David's bag, featuring the Red Wagon Entertainment logo, is another hint that perhaps Nailed is about to get off the ground because this is the company behind the its production(and that of Jarhead, for that matter). So, is something afoot? Cannes? One hopes - one also hopes the smiles are another good sign.


For a little more background on the history of Jake and David, you might be interested in this earlier post.


I have to post this picture of Jake again from yesterday. I can't help myself... Please forgive me.


Includes pictures from IHJ and New York Times.

WDW, that was fast! I barely posted in the last thread before you were super woman and gave us a new post! ;)

Anyway, again, so happy to see all these brilliant pictures. Jake in spandex, with Austin, with David O. Russell, looking so good in all of them, etc, etc.

I will of course let you know how tonight goes. :)

Chuckle :D No messin, me! Thanks Get Real - and thanks for your comments on the last thread :) I am so excited to hear how you get on tonight at Uncle Vanya! And, as I said on the other thread, please blow Peter a kiss for me - sigh...

These pictures from the last 24 hours are just wonderful - spandex, Austin, hugs, Russell - all perfect. Have a great time tonight *)

Thanks, WDW! I will try and blow Peter a kiss, lol.

Hello everybody!!!

Jake looks so happy!!! Isn't it great? =O)

I hope this means good news for Nailed. I really need my fix of Gyllenhaal. Not that his previous movies are bad to feed my addiction but a new movie would mean new photoshoots/interviews/talk shows etc.

And I'm still drooling over the spandex pics =OD

Have a good weekend!!!

Isn't it just our fate? Either we got no Jake-movie, or we might be getting 3 in the span of 12 months! :)

Yeah, definitely, the smile and the hugs are good signs that things might be taking off for "Nailed". I can't wait to hear Jake talk about his film(s).

And very good to see many posters coming back/out - lured by the spandex hotness and happy companions :)

I just got home - very tired! I think I'll treat myself some takeaways and some Jaking :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! It's all very exciting :D

Oooh thanks, Get Real :D And it is wonderful to see some old faces around the place, right there with everyone else :)

Hi Sara! It is great to see Jake looking so happy and I feel real hope for Nailed too. We are so due :D I'm definitely still drooling over the spandex...

Hey Winterbird - that always seems to be the way with Jake's movies - they really are like buses! I'm tired too, so I have fish and chips and mushy peas, and Milk in the DVD player :D

Hello,
I wanted to write something smart, but omg I'm officially dead, killed by spandex :D
Thank you!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Agnes! You are most certainly not alone in that :D What a way to go... :P

hmmm...marmite! (I am of course using this as an adjective to describe the wonderfulness of the perfect toasts...er..I mean posts, over the last day or so). Thanx!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey TDigs! I loved being able to get marmite into a toast, sorry, post (chuckle!) :D So glad you've been enjoying it!

I'm just posting to share my word: 'slobbin'.
Which is pretty much what I'm doing - on the sofa, glass of wine, fish supper, trash on tv and the laptop for yummy spandex pics. :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

That sounds good, Rubes :D I've had my fish super and a glass of red, watched Milk and I'm now ready to snooze (after all those pink drinks last night :D). Lovely pics - sigh... :) My word is elysiond which sounds kind of heavenly.

Hey WDW! I'm truly laughing at myself as I read this post and the comments from the last post! All these people recognizing David O. Russell except me! I was not very far away from the guy on the Nailed set for HOURS but when I saw these pictures this morning what do I notice? The words on his freaking tote bag and not the director himself! Am I blind?! Well, truth be told, I really didn't notice what anyone on that movie set looked like except you know who - LOL! I still can't help but laugh at myself for this over sight. I wonder if Ted would recognize him?! I'll send him the pics and we'll see.

Thanks to you and all the faithful WDWites for clearing this up. I still do like the tote bag, though - I want to know what's in there!! Can't wait for some more Nailed news!!

Everyone here is so on top of things - I love it! Loving the spandex too - Guh!

xoxo

Good night, wet dark!
I do not recognize David O. Russell. He has the look quite different!
I hope that is good news for Nailed!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! Weekend at last.

Hey BBMISwear! That's so funny but I know just what you mean -when Jake's around everything else just fades away, cos he's just that charismatic and beautiful. But the hair has really changed and that makes a difference.

I really really hope there's stuff in that bag that relates to Nailed - it must be a real possibility. Ahhh the spandex.... Jake was made to model spandex....

Morning Monica! Fingers crossed - maybe we will get to see it in 2009 after all :D

Have a great day everyone!
