New pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince of Persia

There's nothing like new pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal as a leaping, rolling, parkouring Prince of Persia to wake one up on a hungover Sunday morning. Many thanks to Disney for updating the Prince of Persia website and providing the perfect cureall and making my heart beat a little faster. If you click on the Sands of Time dagger menu options you will see the prince in action. Amazing.



Love and Other Drugs need your old bangers

If only I lived on the other side of the pond, then my trusty and reliable Percy the Peugeot could have fulfilled his potential and been the star I know he is. Yes! Love and Other Drugs is looking for cars with character - as I like to call them. Thanks to Monica for the heads up.




And finally...

Doug Liman happened to mention to the Ninjas: 'Fair Game isn’t done yet; I’m still working with editors to finish it, and we’re editing with the same intensity we had when we were shooting, so combining that with starting to prep Moon, it means I’m working night and day. I really love it. Instead of depression, I’m in the other mindset where I’m looking forward to going through nothingness and depression after the Moon project. Of course, that’ll be in about two years …' In other words, Moon could launch Jake Gyllenhaal into our cinemas in 2011. Good news!


Pictures from Disney.

Jake looks amazing, absolutely amazing! Thanks, JakeFan :)

Wow, he really does - I love that first pic, something about it, maybe it's his flying hair. They all are beautiful and full of action. Can't wait!

Hi Bertie! That's my favourite too - simply stunning. Eight long months to go...

Anna said...

Oh GOD, I'm going to enjoy this movie!!!!

:D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anna! I know, I've already told my family not to expect any communication from me from 28 May for at least a minth...

Ruby said...

This movie looks like it might be mildly entertaining. I might go see it. Possibly several times. ;-)

Gretchen said...

*groan*

god why do they insist on releasing pics where he has weird expressions/posture?(the second pic in this post.d'oh)i don't get it.
the only one i liked (of the relased pics) is the one where he's in an alley(like)way and looking back.

eh.

i hope it'll get better.the promo stuff i mean.

i want LaOD set pics!*whines*

Anna said...

And exactly how long is a "minth", WDW? --- I know, a new time dimension in the world of Jakelovers. To be defined later...? ;)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Rubes! Well, if there's nothing on worth seeing, I may go and take a peek - as a last resort :DD Looking forward to seeing it with you! I hope I don't choke on the ice cream...

Hi Gretchen :D I just see a totally hot and all action Prince, I don't expect Jake to look beautiful in each pic, but I do find him striking in them all. That first picture just took hours off my life! I hope you see pics you like soon! PoP and LAOD! I want set pics - I'll do some whining with you :)

Hey Anna :DD A minth is a well known Jake time term - it's that amount of time when you can have no communication with the outside world because you've moved into the theatre and you're watching PoP at least once a day. It's PoP time!

Sholyse McGillicuddy...in training said...

These pictures are very dramamtic! Thanks, WDW. Jake looks so serious and so intense. Very authentically Princely. The only thing I worry about is that he will have to do the sequel, and it will be difficult for him. I am in training to become a masseuse so I can be helpful.

Jake looks great - he looks, as said, intense and looks just like he would be looking being in the desert and having the sands of time dagger in his possession.
Think when people see the trailer in the theater they are going to be buzzing about it.
Not everyone has been following this every day like we have and for some they may only vaguely know about it or maybe not at all.
The places with the poster may be the first info. they have had about it.

BBMISwear said...

I visited the Disney/PoP site yesterday just by chance...I don't check that often but had good timing...and was completely blown away! Jake jumping across my computer screen...Yikes! Loved it!!

LOL at Percy being able to "star" in LaOD if he were in the states. I don't think my "tank" would qualify...ha ha!!

Yay Doug L...always keeping us up to date...I think we are going to have more info about that film than any other and that makes me happy.

*chants: Pittsburgh Pics Needed, Pittsburgh Pics Needed, Pittsburgh Pics Needed*

P.S. Sending good thoughts to Mum!

:-)

Uli said...

Hi, I am still behind on all the posts, but had to comment on this one...

This is getting really exciting! Like Anon 23:28 said, I am also curious to see how people will react to the trailer who don't really know yet about the project. It looks like it will be really exciting!!!

In general I like the look of the pics, but I have to admit, some of them are a bit weird... I really don't like the second one, Jake's face looks a bit grotesque there... And the first one looks a bit weird, like he is going down a skid/ shute/ slide (?) in a fun park... :D
And the one where he is looking at the dagger like he is looking at a bottle of booze "Damn, it's really empty!!" :D :D :D

Thanks for the nice video in the last post!!! :)

And I am also sending thoughts out to you and your mum!!! I am glad she is better already! :)

I hope everybody has a good start into the new week!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good morning everyone! How can it be Monday already...?

Hey Sholyse! Keep up that masseuse training. If Jake does sequels he's gonna need you :D Jake really does remind me of the game prince here too.

Hi Anon! That's a really good point - people are going to be amazed when they see Jake like this when the trailers appear. I' looking forward to seeing the setting too, the landscapes and the buildings. It'll be stunning. I love the colours.

Hey BBMISwear! Jake jumping across one's computer is a very happy thing to see! er, yeah, your 'tank' would be entirely unsuitable :D If Percy got a role in a movie it might mean I had to wash him though - the downside of fame. That makes me happy about Moon too - love that Doug is chatting to us :DD Thanks for the good thoughts :-)

Morning Uli! Good to see you after another busy week. I love that first pic! So much action and movement and I like the hair and the expression. In the second one, the face is just determined and got in an instant, but I like the pose. Hmmm, I can sympathise with the empty bottle expression... Thanks for that :)

Have a great day everyone!

TD said...

Oooh yum! lovely...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

oh yesss...! Hi TD :D

Monica said...

So delicious! I love the expressions on his face.

Doubt:
Jake??

have a great day!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Monica! I could look at those pics all day :D Thanks for the link but hmmm, I have serious doubts too, but a cute pic :)

paulh said...

Those pictures are awesome. I'm looking forward to the movie.

Saturday night I saw "My one and only," which had Renee Zellweger and Kevin Bacon in the cast. No direct links to Jake, and not even many indirect ones. The only one I could think of was Renee Zellweger's link to "Chicago," which had John C Reilly in the cast. Reilly was in "Good Girl" with Jake.

BBMISwear said...

Wait...Paul...I have a Jake Link to the movie you saw! It's a stretch but it works...Mark Isham is the composer for My One and Only and I knew I recognized that name so double checked and I was right...he was also the composer on my 2nd favorite Jake movie: Moonlight Mile! And (something found while looking this up) he was also the composer for Losing Isaiah (screenplay by Jake's mom, directed by Jake's dad...as most of us here know).

Okay, so obviously I like the Jake Links...can't help it!

No Pittsburgh pics yet, huh?!

*whines*

:-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Paul and BBMISwear! Loving your Jake Links! Keep em coming :)

get real said...

OOOOHHHHH, Jake is looking GOOD!! Can't wait to see PoP!!! :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real! Oh I love this look and to think that soon we'll have a movie, then DVD, extras, toys, posters... it's all too much! And before all that we get Brothers and hopefully some Jake and Anne pics - fabulous :)
