Jake Gyllenhaal makes the earth move, and SC: 'If you like your Jake G. running around sweaty and bothered for 90 minutes, you’re going to love this'

I always knew that when I see Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for the first time, I may feel the earth move, but it turns out I was more right than I knew. Disney has signed a deal with D-Box which means that Prince of Persia will be shown in theatres with technology that moves and shakes seats and platforms. So, you too may parkour from wall to wall with Jake Gyllenhaal, you too my plunge into fountains and pools with Gemma Arterton - you may even get a go on an ostrich.


If you're lucky enough to live near one of these theatres, I'd advise seeing PoP with hardhat, elbow and knee protectors and brown paper bag. As there are no D-Box screens in Europe at all, I would advise the rest of us to just jump up and down a lot and sway from side to side at appropriate moments. Rushing to and from the screen quickly will also create a 3D effect.


OK! (yes, I do mean OK!) has just published a feature that looks ahead to the release of movies being made at the moment. Among them is Source Code and expectation is high: 'THE GIST: Colter, a soldier, finds himself suddenly in the body of a commuter on a morning train, when a huge bomb explodes. He then finds out he was placed on a mission to find the bomber and the story soon unravels from there… WATCH FOR: Colter going back in time to the moment the bomb explodes in order to figure out who is responsible. As he returns to the scene time after time, he begins to notice that he has eerie visions of Christina, the girl he was sitting next to on the train from the very beginning. EXPERT SAYS: “Source Code may be the best sci-fi script written in a long time. If you like your Jake G. running around sweaty and bothered for 90 minutes, you’re going to love this.”'


I think it's fair to say that I am one of those who does like my 'Jake G running around sweaty and bothered for 90 minutes' - although I'm counting on plenty more than 90 minutes' worth.

Talking of hot and sweaty, I recently found an English version of part of a German interview with Jake (now gone) that I posted almost two years ago. Worth another look, I'd say, even if it is just a snippet. But it's the good bit and it's all about how Jake would impress: 'If I meet somebody, I always show her my real face straight away. Fresh produce is the most important ingredient when you try to win a woman's heart. Only then does cooking for two become an intimate pleasure. I'd cook loads of pasta, tasty vegetables and lamb's lettuce with tomatoes." However, he added: "If I could impress her with a striptease, I would."' So... the alternatives would be fresh produce or a striptease. Let me think about that one for a trillionth of a nanosecond. Source. I include pictures below for your comparison:
