Inside the Statehouse - pictures from the Nailed set

This evening's post must inevitably be brief and it's all Jake Gyllenhaal's fault - The Day After Tomorrow has just come on the television and, although there's a chance I've seen it before, I'm unable to turn it off. That's Jake's fault as well. But, I doubt it matters, because I was so thrilled today to stumble across pictures from the set of Nailed - specifically from a very long day of filming in the Statehouse - taken by an extra. We owe him many thanks!









And another showing David O Russell in a very jolly mood!


Thoughts for Heath on what would have been his 30th birthday.

Here again for a second day,but then it's a very special day.

I know you won't mind me dropping in here,WDW, to remember Heath on his 30th birthday. I'm sure Jake's remembering him too, I'm sure he often does. Rest easy cowboy....

A fascinating glimpse into "Nailed" by the way.
(((Hugs all round)))

Hi there Nadine! No, of course I don't mind and yeah I've been thinking about Heath today too.

Great to get another glimpse into Nailed! Just makes me want to see it even more... Hugs Nadine :D

pia said...

Hi Nadine! How do y'all like our gorgeous Obamas?

Happy birthday and April tears for Heath, the loveliest of men.

Nailed might well be hoot: I hope so, despite the haircut, poor Jake and his beautiful hair.

And congrats, WDW, for getting hold of these pix but Im surprised cause I thought it was a pretty ironclad rule that non-approved pix from sets were not allowed.

Happy springtime, everybody!

My word is "uncoma" - yeah, awakened from hibernation - first frog song from the bayou yesterday.

Hey Pia! The Obamas ROCK! xxx

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Pia! I'm worn out after spending the day springcleaning, warm sunny weather makes me get all domestic for about 24 hours a year.

I've just added another photo - we're so lucky to be able to see these. It does look a hoot!

Good to see you :D

Decided to watch The day after tomorrow on DVD so there's no breaks :P and then the special featurees on disc two..wooo :)

Ohh Heath :( you're missed so much. <3 x

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Anon! That's the sensible way to do it - just got through the wolf scene... but Sam's ok... :D I love Disc 2!

And yeah, for Heath. I don't like to think on birthdays at such a time to be honest :(

winterbird said...

Jake looks adorable and kind of goofy on these pics!

Thanks so much for posting them :)

I am going to watch some parts of TDAK... before the pizza arrives.

Just spent some time looking at Heath pics and videos. *heavy sigh* Needed a bit of a pick me up after that and got it right here (per usual)!

LOVE THE NAILED PICS!! The first thing that jumped out at me, and brought back such great memories, were the shoes on the table in front of Jessica. These people went without shoes as much as possible on this movie set (from what I saw the day I was there at least)! Seriously, whenever they were rehearsing it was bare feet (for Jessica) and Nikes (for Jake). Then as soon as they were told they were filming again wardrobe people would come running out (literally) and put shoes on them. A group of people would crouch down and pull Nikes off (in Jake's case)and place dress shoes on - it was hysterical to watch! All in the name of not wasting anytime I guess. Jake had fun with it - laughing, balancing himself by holding on to the wardrobe people's shoulders, pretending he was going to fall, etc.! Everything I've heard about the filming was they would shoot for hours and hours and hours (and often doing the same takes over and over) - no wonder they couldn't wait to take their damn dress shoes off!!

I couldn't help laugh at Pia's comment about Jake's hair - The "Dan Quayle look" as he liked to call it! "Feel this - it's all hard"! *THUD* But only the front was fake - the rest was 100% beautiful soft Jake Hair!! *THUD AGAIN*

Now I am completely cheered up (after a not so great week) although I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything all of a sudden! Sorry I went on and on a bit in the process!

xoxo

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Winterbird! Love seeing Jake looking so goofy - hard work but it does look loike Jske had fun. Oooh pizza :D I've been on the gnocci this evening.

Hey BBMISwear! Nailed will always make me think of yours and Ted's account of your day there. We need to see this film. OMG that's so funny about the shoes - I can imagine Jake larking around with it.

I remember when I saw the actors on the set of An Education last April, they were all carrying their shoes between takes too - must be an actor thing!

I love that about Jake and his 'Dan Quayle' hair, which you had first hand experience of and shared with us all *) Please feel free to tell us over and over how soft the Gyllenhair is :D

I've thoroughly enjoyed looking at these pics, and even more so with your background stories :D

TDAT is over - should I watch Shipping News...?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

^^^ Apologies for any typos! I'm on my little Aspire One and its keys are soooo tiny...

TNT is airing The Patriot in the U.S. So I will watch Gabriel Maritn fight the Brits, but I will not watch it to the end. I can't.

Thanks for the lovely Nailed pictures. Maybe they will release a movie, too, sometime soon.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! Oh, I do like The Patriot, I've not seen that for a long time. British TV had a Heath night last Saturday. I really hope we get some news on Nailed soon - may be we will :D

TD said...

Fascinating pics and comments - thanks.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks TD :D

Where has jake been this past week..no new pictures and barely any news :(

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Yeah, we miss him, Anon, but he'll be back - Jake's leaving us to entertain ourselves again for a while :D

Anonymous said...

wanna know something IRONIC...I was an extra and I was right beside the guy taking these pics...Jake caught him taking them and he was escorted out. The dude was quite annoying...The extra that is...

Luke

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Luke :D Thanks for the background - it's been so good over the last year hearing the stories from the extras on these big Nailed scenes. I'm so glad to see these pictures, we're very ready to hear/see more about Nailed.

get real said...

Squee, AWESOME Nailed pics!!!!! :D I do hope it is a hoot, Pia. Seems fun and quirky which I love.

Hi Nadine...great to see you!

Happy birthday to our beloved Heath..

Pia, the Obama's have been gorgeous and amazing in Europe. They make me swell with pride and excitement.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Get Real! Isn't it great to see something of Nailed?!

Barack Obama is leaving quite a trail across Europe.It's the main news here - he and Michelle are certainly visiting some historic places and he's sweeping all these leaders off their feet :D Historic. And exciting and hopeful.

It is so wonderful to see some more of the Nailed set. I too loved the story of Lisa and Teds day at the
set, and the lunch that they all shared with Jake. How perfectly wonderful he seemed to have been. I have only been rather distraught about the length of time it has taken to get this much anticipated movie out and in the theaters. I am still waiting on tender hooks to see it. Hope it wont take too much longer. It was interesting to see that the music was to be put in hopefully not to much farther in the future.
Last of all I too am very sad this day, as regards to Heath, and his poor daughter, and her inability to have his presence in her life. It would have been such a wonderful thing for her to have continued to have. Jan

Monica O said...

Oh my god, someone fire the hair dresser!!!

I need to see other picture of Jake right now! *running to Google*

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Jan :D Thanks so much for the comment - the wait for Nailed has been (and is being) so frustrating I think because we all felt so involved in the filming of it, thanks to Ted and Lisa, and Nicole and other accounts of being an extra. As it was filmed in a city, there were so many photos and sightings etc - completely the opposite to Brothers - and so we just need to see it! But I think we will, and hopefully by the year's end.

Thanks for sharing your feelings for Heath :)

Morning Monica :D I know, it's bad!! And people complain about the PoP hair!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone - a beautiful sunny day here :D

Anonymous said...

Hi...where can i find these accounts of being on the set of nailed? Im quite interested to read them :) x

Anonymous said...

WDW, can someone tell me why must they always do things to Jake's hair??? I HATE IT when they mess with his hair. Thanks for these Nailed pictures. I really appreciate them.

I am very proud of Michelle and Barack Obama. I just wish he would stop holding these rallies with thousands of people. He's the President now. He needs to not do that. I understand that after eight years of terrible relations with America, the people of Europe really need reassurance. That's why they have televisions.

get real said...

Anon 13:13, Barack Obama needs to do exactly what he is doing.

He is the President but unlike other president's he is brilliant enough to go directly to the people with his agenda. The media, at least in the U.S., is not doing their job of reporting the facts. So, I think he is doing exactly what he should do. And the people he is talking to seem to love it.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon 12:13! Here are the three accounts that spring to mind the most. There are some other bits and pieces on WDW from last spring, which you can search for.

Ted and Lisa's Excellent Adventure

Nicole's story

Nicole also met Jake and there's an account of that on WDW too.

a set report from another Lisa

Hi Anon 13:13 :D I know, Jake's hair is just terrible :D

As for Barack Obama in Europe - the election's over but we don't know him so well over here and people really want to see him. He and his wife were a huge success in the UK and it looks like he's putting smiles on faces on the continent now too.

Morning Get Real! I wish I could have seen him myself :D

I hope everyone's having a good day - except the 'brats' who pushed over one of our motorbikes into the side of our van causing a lot of damage to both.

JakeFan said...

I love the Nailed pictues. Thanks for posting them WDW. I'm looking forward to the movie. :)

There's a brief mention of Jake and Reese in a Robert Downey jr. post on JustJared. Seems Jake attended Robert's birthday party with Reese. Robert's birthday happens to be the same day as Heath's. Heath and Robert as well as Reese are Aries. Jake seems to be drawn to that sign. ;)

Happy Birthday Heath. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks JakeFan - That must've been some party :D

Carol said...

Thanks for posting the Nailed pics WDW. Hopefully the wait will be over soon and this or Brothers will see the light of day. I would bet this will be released before Brothers.

I saw that post on Just Jared aswell mentioning RDJs birthday and Jake and Reese being in attendance.

Hope your van wasn't too badly damaged by those brats WDW. You can't be up to what some of these brats get up to.

Heath was in my thoughts yesterday as was his beautiful daughter Mathilda. It's times like this it hits what a great talent we've lost. You may have left us Heath but you will never be forgotten.xxx

Monica said...

Good night, wet dark!
Thank you for photos. I'm very anxious to assist nailed.

Jake's hair is very funny. I loved! Hehehehehe
He's so cute!

Happy Birthday, Heath. I miss you much!

Happy Birthday, Robert Downey Jr.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! Another lovely day but Monday so not so lovely :D

Hi there Carol! I wouldn't be surprised if these are released the same month :D

Morning Monica! Ahhh, someone likes the hair :D

Have a good day everyone :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thinking of Xenia and all Italian readers here, after the terrible earthquake today - I hope everyone is ok

twistedlogic said...

Just wanted to echo WDW's words, sending my thoughts and best wishes to our Italian friends.

It's good to see some old (in the nicest sense of the word) faces on here today, Nadine, Pia and Get Real, hope you're all doing well :)

The Nailed pics are fascinating, but the least said about the hair the better! Hope we get some news about a release date soon.

PS: Agree with all the comments about the Obamas, they're like a breath of fresh air. I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on President Obama.

one pic of jake at RDJ's party in the background..

not much, but its somthing

Carol said...

I echo those sentiments aswell. Hope all the Italian posters are ok after the terrible events that unfolded there last night.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey TL - good to see you again *) Yeah we won't mention the hair.... what hair?

Thanks Blacksilver - I was looking at the pics over my lunchtime and thinking is that the best they can do?!

Hi Carol :) It's absolutely dreadful. I couldn't believe it when I heard.
