I was riding along on the fast Oscar train when suddenly the signal went red, the wheels screeched to a squealing halt, smoke from the friction billowed along the track, everyone grasped the seat in front. The reason? A new Prince of Persia featurette! And this one's called Destiny and I sense that my destiny lies in adoration of a certain Dastan, Jake Gyllenhaal, and his hot BritSpeak. 'I'm not letting you go!' he cries as the world collapses around him.
So... what do we get that's new in this fantastic featurette except for a lot more Aksh (bless you)? We get more accent: 'This won't be the last time we'll be together' - gulp - 'We can sit here and chat or you can get on the horse'.
We get plunging into fountains and, indeed, Jake himself in the interviews is a little damp round the edges...
We have snogging.
And a whole lot more...
Another reason for the Source Code derailment is more pictures from the mysterious Prince of Persia photoshoot! Many thanks to IHJ for these beauties.
Talking of Prince of Persia... during the run up to the Oscars, Maggie was asked if she was looking forward to Prince of Persia. She said she was and that Jake had showed her the trailer on the internet. If Maggie wants more info on the film, we'd be happy to provide it. Thanks to Monica for the heads up!
Photobombing Jake Gyllenhaal
Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) was on Jimmy Kimmel this week and she happened to mention one of her highlights from the whole red carpet experience - photobombing Jake Gyllenhaal (thanks to the WDW reader for the link!).
'I still have not met him' she says and wonders if Jake must hate her for 'photobombing' his photo. I think he'll be fine with it...
And finally...
Prince of Persia draws ever nearer. The British premiere is at hand! 9 May, Leicester Square Odeon! Get ready!
Many thanks to IHJ for the pics.

A definate Jake overload these past few days! 230+ oscar pictures, loads of interviews, POP pictures, featurette... His British accent is perfect! I've watched it 4 times already :P i love the bit were he shouts to Tamina 'I'll never let you go' *Thud*
I apologise i forgot to sign my name on the photobomb link :P it definatley reminded me of those photos Jake hilariously ruined a couple of years ago. No-one can photobomb like Jake!
ARGH those new pictures! Wow. I love just a close up on his face, his features are perfect. Time is good to him :)
Thanks for another great post WDW!

Loved the new trailer. The pics. the Prince looks so HOT on the horse. Just love a man on a horse.
can't wait to see this movie

Final Poster for Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
First Showing
Hi Sweetpea :) Love the pics of Jake on a horse!
Hey Monica :D Thanks for the link. That looks like it could be one of the final US posters - the UK one was out last week and other European ones are coming out too - everything is getting ready :D Good to see Sir Ben on that one!
Just been to see crazy heart and devastated they have taken the promotional poster of POP down AND the 8 foot cardboard cutout of Jake :( I'm not best pleased with my cinema.
Hi Anon! I'm pleased you saw Crazy Heart but that's not good about the poster... it's possible that they're getting ready for the next phase of the PoP campaign - new posters, images etc. Let's hope so :)
YES, that is the featurette they showed during the Oscar pre-show!!! :D :D :D And I am so glad the UKers think Jake's accent is good.
THUD those new pics are gorgeous!!
Good to hear about the UK PoP premiere. :)
LOL at Gabby's photo bomb but no one photo bombs like Jake. :p
Anon, my theatre took down their PoP poster too. Not sure what to make of that. :/
I also saw this weeks People and US Weekly on the store shelves tonight and they had Jake as best dressed, etc.
Great, great stuff!
I love it. He looks amazing, and I love Tamina's character too. :)
Morning!
Hi there Get Real! That's good to know, that it was that featurette I'm glad we got to see it.
That's good news about the Best Dressed - the perfect movie star :D
I can only think that posters are being removed to prepare cinemas for The Next Phase of the marketing.
Hi Anon! The more I see of this High Priestess, the more I like :D
Sending love to Sheba who's not very well xx
Have a good day everyone!
Oh, what lovely pictures again... The emotion he can convey with so little even shows in those pics!
In the profile photoshoot pic he looks as if he has tears in his eyes (before a discussion starts - I know it is a photoshoot... ;)) and also some of the PoP pictures a wonderful emotional...
Can't wait to see the trailer on Friday....
Oh, Jake, you are so good to us!!
And LOL at the photobombing and Jake probably not minding...
Morning, Great pictures, Just when i think they cant get better they do, love the new captures from pop, cant wait till May now, wonder if i need a business trip to London around May 9th :)
Great post WDW - so much Jake stuff coming our way this week my head is spinning! I love all the running and jumping and clotheslining and all but this new featurette - now this is the thing that makes me really, really, really dying to see this movie - LOL!! Those Disney marketing people get paid the big bucks and obviously deserve it because they will find, and give us clips, of every different sub-plot going on in this movie and reach those who will find something exciting about it. I enjoy movies with love stories - here's my love story!! Someone already said *THUD* to Jake in this featurette, right? Well, again: *THUD*
Love the photoshoot pics - can't wait to actually get a magazine in my hand with photoshoot pics!
Yay for the UK premiere - you Brits must be sooooo excited! I'm excited for what seems to be quite the 'spread' of PoP throughout the month of May. What a month it will be (and a summer, too, with all those hours spent in those big air conditioned theaters)!
I still need to sit down and go through all the Oscar stuff again. There was so much of it coming at us rapid fire I now need to take a second look (and a third, and a fourth....).
Looking forward to more great stuff to come!
:-)
Hi Uli! Such an expressive face and those eyes... sigh :D Hurry home on Friday so you can see it all.
Hi T! I know, it gets better and better :D I think a business trip to London sounds like an excellent idea. I think it should be done...
Morning BBMISwear :-) The love story element of PoP sounds really good. There is so much going on in this film. We've been waiting two years! We're nearly there....
May/June - time to move into the cienmas for sure. And yes still more Oscar stuff!
Have a good day everyone! Someone tell me to stop eating rich tea biscuits...
We are certainly being spoiled with everything that's going at the moment. Long may it continue!!!
I love those new photoshoot pics:)
OMG these new pics are to die for!!! I agree with Uli about how much Jake can convey with his face expression(s)...
And the new featurette... *THUD*
Dear WDW and all, I'll be in Morocco this weekend, coming back on Monday night... I'll not be able not to think of Jake while he was there shooting Rendition and Prince of Persia... and it looks like it will be nearly 20 degrees warmer than in London :)))
I hope not to step on a toad, or other 'exotic' creatures while there... :)!
Hugs
Paola
Jake's face is absolutely perfect for closeups. You have some gems there, WDW.
I've never heard the word photobomb before. What does it mean? Why does she say she's never met Jake? She was standing right next to him in that picture.
I can't stop myself from coming back here today, to these wonderful pics...
So, while I am here anyway:
Safe travels, Paola, and good luck with staying away from the toads!!!!! :D :D :D
Thank you, Uli :)
It sounds like you've done a lot of travelling yourself recently...

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to chat but I have been reading - home soon!!
Paul, photobombing is just hijacking someone else's picture with a stupid expression or funny face - as Jake did to Uma and Ang. I think she then did a runner and so didn't meet Jake!
Catch you all later :D
