Love and Other Drugs London premiere 6 December!

If you live within shouting distance of London and are wondering what to do with yourself on 6 December, you might want to reconsider that early Christmas shopping trip down Oxford Street because I have a better idea. How about popping down to Leicester Square for the Love and Other Drugs London premiere! Details are scarce at this early stage, but it looks as if Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway will indeed be making their way across the pond. It also suggests that the release date of New Year may well stick after all. Good news!


The Love and Other Drugs feature from W has now made it on to the magazine's website with the photograph above - a shame that they have spelled Jake's name wrong though.

A tweet today suggested that Jake may have arrived in London: 'Just seen Jake Gyllenhaal whilst at a client press day! He's looking good!' No mention of the beard and when I ask if he had shaved off his beard, the answer was 'No, he was sporting the same stubble as ever!' I'd hesitate to call Jake's Sasquatch look 'stubble' (unless Jake has shaved just a bit). In fact, by the time of the Love and Other Drugs premiere, Jake could look like this!


Thanks to Gyllenhaalisgr8 for this alarming picture...

OMG that picture is hysterical! The answer is YES but with a P.S. (please shave the damn nest that is developing on your chin)!

Great news about the London premiere and maybe December 31st being the release date (again)! Is that typically a reliable site? They certainly don't have much info posted there. Can't wait to hear more...I'll be so happy for you Brits after all the ups and downs involving this movie's UK release.

Only a quick stop by for me...see you next time! :-)

*bursts into laughter* OH.MY.GOSH that pic is insane!!! I don't think I could ever be really ready for a look like that ;D

And yay to the London premiere even thou I obviously won't be able to be there. Actually I realize how impossible it is for the movie to be at the Rome FF, but a girl can dream right?

Thank you once again for the news, WDW! 'night everyone :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Great, TD! I do hope so :D And OMG that is a great but scary pic by Gyllenhaalisgr8!

Hey there BBMISwear :-) Nest - gotta go :D It is great news - this is a very reliable site - always the first to get its info. They can't know much about premieres that far away but they get their info directly (often from Westminster Council). Fingers crossed about the end of year release :D

Hi there HVV! I had been hoping for Rome. But I'm sure Jake will be back there again :)

Claire said...

would love to make the premiere but don't think its feasible.*sob*
Oh if he is in London I hope we get some pictures!

WDW - I'm embarking on a history degree, which I'm loving but finding a bit overwhelming in relation to the amount of reading needed.
PS may we never ever see gyllenbeard for real!!! lol

Georgie said...

Yes, Jake, we'll still love you! And congrats on the POSSIBLE date for LAOD WDW, I'm so happy for you! :D

get real said...

WDW, I don't see any last name misspellings when I click on the W link? Hopefully they fixed it unless I am looking in the wrong places??

On to the post!

YAY, so glad that LAOD will premiere in London in December and not in February!!! That is when it should premiere everywhere! :)

LMAO at that pic!!!!! I happen think the beard in the real pic yesterday wasn't that bad. *ducking the stones thrown at me* It actually works with the length of his hair, the shirt, etc. Although I do hope he shaves very soon, especially for the Saturday event.

In fact, I wish he had grown out his own facial hair for BBM. I still don't get why they had him wear a fake mustache when we know he can grow tons of scruff.

If Jake is in London before the Saturday Q&A then all you Ukers need to be on the lookout! :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Claire! Good luck with the degree. History is a great passion of mine - enjoy it!

Hi Georgie - as we know from all premieres they're never definite until they happen so yes it is just POSSIBLE (:D) at the moment like all the others in November and December but a girl can hope! Fingers crossed :)

Hey Get Real! The mistake shows in the browser not in the post itself so they must have corrected it which is good. Always annoys me that kind of thing. But a lovely pic!

And I thought Jake looked adorable huggable in that picture - can't wait to see how he looks on Saturday. I do miss him!

mermon said...

Hahahaha, on that picture Jake reminds me of Russian Rasputin, though is more handsome. Good job Gyllenhaalisgr8! He really looks great on that picture, despite the beard. Just look at those eyes!
I'm happy for your December LAOD premiere in London. You have a big chance to see Jake. I'm sure he will be there. And to see a movie before Valentine's Day.
Get real said -
"I still don't get why they had him wear a fake moustache when we know he can grow tons of scruff. " - I had no idea it was fake! Same question. Why!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Mermon! OMG he does look like Rasputin!

I really hate that 14 Feb date so everything crossed. And it's so good to know a premiere may happen here - it sounded like there would be no kind of release here at all. So wonderful :)

That is interesting. I wonder if it's because they were shooting out of sequence.

Anonymous said...

This pic is truly horrifying! You are very talented, Gyllenhaalisgr8. :) And my totally shallow answer is No way, Jake, sorry, I can't drool over Raspoutine.

LOL! A desecration! That's exactly it, TD. :DD

Great news about the London premiere, I hope you get to go, WDW, and tell us all about it.

get real said...

WDW, I see the spelling corrected, do you still see it is incorrect?

It is a pet peeve of mine too. If I were Jake and especially his PR who's job is to make sure that spelling is correct I would be all over all these press articles that misspell Gyllenhaal...grr! :p

Get Real said...

Never mind, WDW. I see what you mean with the page tab on the W website that still has it misspelled...sigh. :/

Darling Bluebell said...

December 6. Oh, if only... *dreams away* I'm planning to visit London at the beginning of November but maybe I can persuade my friend to postpone it a little. Like, a month. ;)

Hahaha you asked that lady about Jake's beard? That's awesome. :) So it's a stubble apparently... I really hope this will turn out to be true, I can't get gyllenhaalisgr8's picture out of my head. *fingers & toes crossed*

gyllenhaalisgr8 said...

I'm thinking that the scenes where a moustache was required were very short (in the whole scheme of things), and it would have been a waste of production time to grow a real big one out for just a brief filming.

get real said...

gyllenhaalisgr8, the issue is that it didn't look as real as it could have if he just took a few days to grow some real facial hair. Many reviewers gave Jake a hard time because of that and I think it would have added to the authenticity of those scenes. BBM was a truly brilliant movie that affected all of us but I do take issue with the fake mustache.

mermon said...

gyllenhaalisgr8 - you may be absolutely right about moustache. It was short scene, and moustache were quite thick. As I remember very young Jake - his facial hair was/were? very delicate at that time. It wouldn't look like a very mature man moustache.
I will have to see BBM once again to check this fake moustache. For me it looked real, I didn't suspect anything :)
Oh, Jack Twist! So badly missing Ennis, who was not brave enough to reach for happiness. Though Jack was mentally stronger, he couldn't convince Ennis to live together. As much as I understand Ennis I wish he would have at least try .

Carol said...

OMG that's my birthday. Will definitely have to try and get over for that one:)

Anonymous said...

The way a majority of movies are made maybe some scenes were done with the mustache and a week later had to film something that happened before they were older.
He couldn't keep growing one and then shaving it off..and then a week later have to have a scene with it...looking just like it did before.
Just a thought.

tpe said...

Hello WDW. Thanks for all the news on LAOD. I am so looking forward to seeing him and Anne together again in this film.

Also, I wanted to thank you for posting Jake's planned appearance in Manhattan on Oct 2.

Alas, I will be out of town. The EJ brokies are meeting in London that weekend at the Phoenix, Best Western Hotel (a number of them you have already met in Oxford). So I'll be missing Jake for a good reason.

I very much wanted Jake to autograph the pup tent in NYC this weekend, but I guess that this will have to wait...

Anonymous said...

I didn't expect him to jet off to London, not when he has a date in NY with the New Yorker mag interviewer.

Let's hope that he finds a razor (maybe he decided to go to London to find one? Are yours better than ours over here on this side of the pond WDW)

great news about the london Premiere I shall have to tell my Brit friend about it.

"Love and Other Drugs" is supposed to roll into the U.S. theaters on November 24. The other day I saw a trailer for it, and this left me feeling very excited.

lemniscate said...

Hi WDW and ya'll,

Great news about possible London premiere! Hope you get to meet him again (and then run back home and tell us all about it - or better, live blogging! ;-)

I had a little discussion with a friend of mine yesterday regarding the mystique of physical attraction. (Whom I incidentally infected with the Gyllenbug - She's not quite reached full blown Gyllenhaalicism yet, but judging from the feverish onset of her symptoms, it won't be long now. Mwahahaha! *evil grin* ;-)
Anyhow, we ended up pitting our turn-ons and our turn-offs against each other. And, on showing her gyllenhaalisgr8's ZZ-top inspired Gyllenbeard pic, I uttered (to my own astonishment and hers): I'd still love him even if he sported a uni-brow, a bald head, a barrel belly, a hairy back, hairy ears and wonky eyes... (in vino veritas?!)
All my friend could say was: YOU ARE TOTALLY BONKERS!
Jamie Randall, do you have meds for that?

Uli said...

Good morning! This possible premiere in London makes me really excited!! Who knows... Maybe I will get to see Jake for real a second time this year? I just got a bit worried, cause I remembered, that I have a 3-day-meeting at work in December that I will have to attend! I am just hoping that that is later in the month! Argh!!

LOL! What a great pic, gyllenhaalisgr8!!! I am warming up to the beard... Not so much thanks to your pic (sorry... :D) but because of the other pic of him! Sooo cute!! (I was close to voting "Don't know" in the poll anyway, but then decided that he should shave...).

Hehe, Lemniscate! I would say Jake is working pretty hard on matching your little scenario... The beard and the wonky eyes are already there... And he has a wonky walk, too (I watched Rendition the other day and had to smile at his walk again... :D), so I guess that should make up for the (so far) missing barrel belly... ( And his eyebrows definitely look like they are ready to mate on the top of his nose and then have little children on the back of his ears and back! :D :D :D

Maybe I should make clear, that I looove his eyebrows (I would be happy if they stayed where they are, though...) and that I find it adorable that he walks a bit funny...
But you are right, I guess I would love him anyway, too... :)

Have a good day everyone!!
I will try and get hold of some Dastan today, with PoP being released on DVD here today...

lemniscate said...

Hey Uli,

Fudge! Just noticed I actually forgot to list the beard... D'oh!
Oh, and scrap bald. The hairier, the better. Plus de poils, plus de plaisirs. ;-)

Sasha said...

noo I want the premiere in Febr in London ... sorry WDW - but I cant make it in Dec but in Feb *aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh* PLS dear movie-premiere-decider make it happen - premiere of LAOD in Febr! purty pls

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good morning everyone! So great to see you all!

Hi Olympia! I'll do my best :D I admit it would be difficult to drool over Rasputin... especially while wearing the long robes. particularly if it's a musical.

Morning Get Real - yes, that's where I saw it. It really annoys me!

Ooh, you should work on that Lady Ekster!! Have to say it doesn't really look like stubble... :D

Hi Gyllenhaalisgr8! I think - although I put it very vaguely last night - that it was filmed out of sequnce but that's a good point as well. The moustache scenes wouldn't have taken long to do and how could Jake have grown a moustache in time?

Good luck today xx

Hi there Mermon! I find it so hard trying to fathom out why Ennis behaved as he did - partly because I'm not an Ennis - but I think that's oddly one of the things I love about the film.

Carol, that is fate! I hope you can make it over :) And I hope you had a great time in the States.

Hi KC! That's just what I think :)

Great to see you, Tpe! I'm sorry to hear you can't make the Saturday event but the weekend sounds wonderful! You're in London? So close to me! And I see you're staying in real Jake territory there. You must go to 202 Westbourne Grove. Can you email me some details?

Hi there Sweetpea! He has a few days before Saturday so I suppose he can move around quite a bit during that time, in disguise!

I'd love to see a trailer for it, Paul! I hope they start showing it here soon.

Evenin' Lemniscate! I totally agree that I would love Jake no matter how he looked because I've fallen for him and it's well beyond looks. But fortunately he is as gorgeous as a summer's day is long and more. Just beautiful, no matter how he looks. Glad to hear you're winning your friend over to the light :D

Morning Uli! Well, let's hope that meeting doesn't interfere! I love the eyebrows, and the walk and I I want to ruffle that hair... Enjoy Dastan!

Hi Sasha! Well, maybe there'll be a Source Code premiere in February/March :)

Have a great day everyone! and the last few hours for voting!!

Margaux said...

Hi everyone!
I've been following WDW for a while now, first time poster, Jake fan for a long time! Big thanx to WDW for the great updates and ofcourse everyone of you for posting such wonderfull comments! :D

Gyllenhaalisgr8, good job on the pictures! They're so funny.

I made my vote about the sasquatch a couple of days ago. Plz Jake, SHAVE! I love you soooo much more with the 5 o'clock shadow.

What incredible news of the London premiere, i'm from Belgium, so i'll make sure i'd make it to the red carpet that day! Maybe i'll meet some of you over there! That would be so great.

See you al next time!

Margaux

Well! If Jake Gyllenhaal looks like at present ...perhaps he will lost his job in Hollywood and he will go to Indien to be member of crazies Indus!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello Margaux and welcome! Thanks so much for delurking and posting. I'm so glad you like the place - and thanks for voting :D The premiere will be amazing. I'd better dust off my lucky Nike. Do come back!

Hi there Anon :)

paulh said...

I saw a man with a robin's egg blue turban crossing the street the other day. He also had a beard, so I am going to assume he is a Sikh. A Sikh is not allowed to cut his bair or beard, ever! Jake has never claimed to be a sikh, so there is still hope. (Not that there is anything wrong with being a Sikh.)

Anonymous said...

Yes, we'll still love you Jake. He looks Rasputin-esque here, and mesmerizing. :)

get real said...

Hey everyone!

In regards to Jake's mustache in BBM. I agree that the reason probably was that the filming schedule was not that long and that they filmed lots of scenes out of sequence. And also just to let you know I thought it worked fine too. But I think Jake grows great mustaches/beards and it would have been cool to see him have a real one. Even he complained about the fake mustache in interviews, lol. I still think Jake and the movie are brilliant! :)

I wonder about the Jake in London sightings?!?! He will have to be back in NYC soon.

Hope everyone is having a good day. It is raining heavy here. :/

Serene Hill said...

OOhhh...Lucky you, WDW, having chance to be in LAOD premiere...
Hope we'll get the International release date soon, there is so little info bout LAOD out there..
That pic is terrible, though somehow i found it quite adorable, maybe the eyes..;p
The Beard was so thick in the pic on your previous post, I'm begging you, Jake, PLEASE shave it, the talkshow is soon approaching, when do you planning to get that nest off your face??? Can't imagine what's living in them..:p
Have read bout Jake in the Medical Center on your older post, want to ask, what is he doing there? As you know, that I'm a beginner Gyllenhaalic, it all begin from BBM, then get to know him more, and just find that I'm not able to not love him..Hahaha..
Thanks for the posts WDW!!

Sasha said...

But WDW that just wouldnt be the same ... I want LAOD premiere on Valentines Day - what a great idea that is ... a love-drama on Valentines Day ... YAAAYYYYY!!! *agirlcandreamhopewish,canshe?* I hate the idea of LAOD at Nikolausday - do you have that in UK??? Nikolaus?? (The little Santa if you want -lol- ) NOPE IT MUST BE 14th of FEBR *pout + stompingwithfeet*

Sasha said...

oh and since we are still in Beardgate ... I have to say, what I like about Jakes Face Pet is that it grows very equally and is well behaved ;) ... unlike others we know such as Brad Pitts or Rpattz or Orlando Bloom - they grow very divers in the face pet area, have holes in them ... don't like that even more than our Jakes huge face pet now

Sasha said...

which actually grows a bit on me (not literally of course ;) ) *hidingunderdesk*

Darling Bluebell said...

Putting our deducting powers into practice, Jake must still be in London. Not a single Twitter sighting today, as opposed to the at least daily sightings when he was in NYC. So yeah, clearly... *big grin*

I hate the idea of LAOD at Nikolausday - do you have that in UK??? Nikolaus?? (The little Santa if you want -lol- )
Do you have Niklaus on December 6th? In Holland we have it on December 5th, here it's called 'Sinterklaas'. I for one very much like the idea of LAOD being the best Sinterklaas present of them all. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello everyone! Back home and impoverished thanks to bits and pieces falling off my car just prior to its MOT. It's not getting a wash now....

Hi Paul! Jake looks so good in blue :D

Hi 15:16 :)

Hey Get Real! I do agree. On the whole I'm not a moustache fan one little bit but it's hard for Jake to look bad no matter what. We had weather like that yesterday and today's been lovely. It's really up and down this time of year - with a bit more down.

Hi Serene Hill! I know, there's so little about LAOD outside America. I hope that changes soon. Jake (and Maggie) both go to that Medical Center quite a bit and it does pretty much everything from contact lenses and alternative therapies to dentistry so Jake could go there forr all his medical needs. He's papped there so often - no matter which exit/entrance he uses - that the running joke here is that Jake must work there :D

Hi Sasha! I sympathis but I really really don't want LAOD to have anything to do with Valentines Day, which is a purely commercial 'holiday' and is famous for crap movies. We don't have St Nicholas Day in the UK but I know of it - we don't fo anything here for Saints Days :)

Jake's beard is definitely nicer than Brad's and that horrible thing the Pale One has on his face at the moment. SOunds like you're being won over!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Lady Ekster! Posting at the same time :D To be honest I haven't a clue where Jake is today, but he certainly goes under the radar more here, especially with such an elaborate Rasputin disguise! I suppose he could also be on a plane today.

Last few minutes to vote!

Monica said...

WDW, this is great news. You will not wait long to see this movie.

Sasha said...

Hi Lady Ekster, yep - well actually it is said Nikolaus comes overnight so we put out our shoes on the 5th and find them filled with sweets on the 6th :D but the "holiday-day" is the 6th - tho it's not bank holiday.

Hi WDW, really crap movies on Valentines??? hmmm I definetaly don't go often enough to the movies to can say anything about it. Okay - coming a bit on your side: not on Valentinesday but maybe on the 4th (my b-day *yay* ) I'm not giving in on that until I know I lost it and will have no chance seeing Him.

Won over - a little bit maybe ... but only a very little bit - still love the shaven/shadowy jaw line more :D

Sasha said...

oh and you know what WDW - I love it that you wrote Pilot with two I ... LMAO

(on the tabs above the posts)

Sasha said...

two i .... the big i looks like a little L

Serene Hill said...

Ohh..I see...That's why I see so many headlines bout Jake going back to Medical Center here and there...The joke is pretty funny, I thought he worked there as volunteer in his spare time..hahaha...
Thanks for answering WDW..
Will there be any footage from the 2 OCt talkshow or will it get broadcast?

Darling Bluebell said...

I spoke (wrote) too soon earlier this evening...

'gregwool (NYC) - I just rode the 1 train with Jake Gyllenhaal. Sporting a lumberjack beard.'

So he's back in NYC. With Beard. Aaaaah! Just about 48 hours less to shave! C'mon Jake!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Sasha! I have to write Piilot like that - Ruby has me well trained :)

I certainly hope so, Serene Hill! There should be photos at least.

Hi Lady Ekster! Jake as hairy as ever and on a train again :D Not long left to go!

New post :D

lemniscate said...

Waves at fellow Belgian @Margaux ;-)
Hope to see you here again soon.
I'm originally from Antwerp. You?

@LadyEkster are you Dutch? Geweldig! ;-)

No wonder I feel so at home here...

Have a great day ladies and gents!

gyllenhaalisgr8 said...

All of this talk of the imfamous fake BBM 'stache got me thinking: no one complains about a movie's worth of fake hair in PoP! He had a WEAVE, didn't grow it completely out all by himself. Hey, it's Hollywood. They do what they have to do. And we just buy our tickets and drool, real hair or not!!
