[Update] Jake Gyllenhaal's Peter Movie moment of the decade, Jake arrives in Canada not to compete in the Winter Olympics, etc!

[Update] Stars describe their favourite film moment of the decade and there amongst them is a very hot (and sexily black and white) Jake Gyllenhaal describing his favourite as Peter Sarsgaard in An Education: 'Any performance by Peter Sarsgaard. God, I'm such a kiss ass! I would pick An Education. I don't know what he does for a living; he seems to be into cellos; likes really young women! That seems to be my best description...' Perfect!




On with the post!

Jake Gyllenhaal is in Canada! Contrary to popular opinion, he is not in Vancouver to compete in the Super G, he is in fact in Montreal to do whatever it is actors do to prep a movie. Source Code director Duncan Jones is already in the city, where he is, according to his tweets, pinching food off the desks off fellow crew members. Good man! As for Jake, he might have a handy pouch, but he wants that coat - he really wants that coat. And that's despite Olympia's assurances that temperatures are set to soar in Montreal to 30 degrees F. Many thanks to IHJ for the pics and the heads up!


Duncan has also just tweeted that principal photography starts in two weeks and a moment ago said: 'Just met with the lovely Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright. Feeling quite thrilled to have two such scorchingly good actors in Source Code!' (The excellent Jeffrey Wright was, of course, Felix in Casino Royale.) Meanwhile, would it be untoward if I wondered what Jake was keeping in his pouch?


Duncan is a nominee at this Sunday's BAFTAs for his superb debut movie, Moon. He is intending to be in Covent Garden for the awards. One wonders if he might be accompanied on the flight over by a possible BAFTA presenter?



I have to say that it was extremely obliging of Jake to go to Canada because this visit coincides perfectly with my Winter Olympics report! I have received, just today, photographs from the piste of one of the Games' more serious contenders, who is competing in not just the Downhill but also the Ice Hockey. He doesn't even need a team, that's how good he is.




So while Jake and Elmo settle down to enjoy their cheese fondue, here is a little bit of Jake news...

Firstly, the 'Epic Adventure Issue' of Total Film hit the UK shelves today - or at least the mini cute 'airport edition' did. The good news is that the article inside is just the same as in the Collectors' edition and the only difference is that the cover has 'Prince of Persia [in non-scannable gold] - Inside 2010's biggest blockbuster!'. It looks fabulous.


With thanks to Shoe for the heads up, it looks like Jake is involved in Natalie Portman's 'Hungry in America' project. Whether he will attend the NYC or LA gala isn't known but you can see details here.

We saw pictures of Jake and a friend yesterday in photos dating to the 15th. Maybe this was the event that they were going to/returning from: Jeff Bridges bringing Crazy Heart to life at the LA Club. Maggie was also there. One must admire Jeff for putting his heart and soul into Crazy Heart - incredible.

And finally...

...and slightly off topic (because there's little PoP in this post)... I was running errands today and stumbled across these critters.




Many thanks to IHJ and Olympic correspondent BBMISwear for the pics. Others by WDW. No ostrich was hurt during the production of this post - it had already snuffed it.
