[Updated with 2 more videos] Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway ('Ed wanted Justin Bieber') and Ed Zwick talk about Love and Other Drugs on MTV

[Update] In these two additional MTV videos Jake Gyllenhaal talks about his connection to his character Jamie Randall and reveals his thoughts about that little blue pill and the 90s.




On with the post...

The other day, before the NYU Q&A for Love and Other Drugs, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Ed Zwick took part in an interview with MTV. The videos of that are now available and you can hear Annie reveal that Ed had actually wanted Justin Bieber for the role of Maggie... It also appears Jake and Annie had a bodypart checklist as part of the pre-production process of determining how much they would led Ed shoot. It sounds like most boxes got a tick...






If you have trouble watching the videos here, you can see them all on the MTV site.

Lovely :)

Good morning everyone! I hope you all have a good Saturday. I'm on the road today taking PoP to my mum :D

mermon said...

WDW, Have fun with your mum and Dastan. My mum didn't like to watch it:(

I'm starting to watch clips from MTV, you just gave us.
Have a nice Saturday!

mermon said...

This is great! Just great!
Such a good sound quality, for a change. And I like that interviewer.

I liked when Anne said, she wishes the other actors to have as loving and open experience, as they had.
It's two more clips on MTV site, where Jake is talking.
And Anne says to Jake: "I think you have an animal magnetism" :)
These are the right words to describe Jake's charm!

Videos... great, in the MTV site, there are two more videos in that our boy is talking in the interview
Good Saturday

Sasha said...

@mermon I laughed so hard about it ... and he like *naaww* and Anne : you can just sit here and say nothing and every girl in the room goes "uuuuh-like crazy for you*

They have such a great friendship - you can tell from watching the interaction of them

Or when Jake met Jamie and that dude saying: can you not be vulnerable in a movie??? *rofl*

Sasha said...

oh-oh... and WDW thx for the early post ... you know I have one of these days nobody wants but they keep coming back - ya know when it's best not to touch or do anything as it might all fall apart??? that is my day ... so just sitting here and watching the videos is prob the best I can do today ;) THANK YOU ... I really cant thank you enough for all your work with the website and the forum


(having an emotional moment here)

Sasha said...

aaah I can't wait for the promo to roll on full speed ... it's gonna be a blast and it's going to be deadpan funny ... the three of them are really great *squeeeeforallthem*

*SPAMALARM*

mermon said...

Yes Sasha, and Anne was so right about the girls. And what about us, girls sitting in front of our computers, going crazy for him :)
His magnetism goes through the screen.

And that's so truth. this place - the blog and our new forum is such a nice place, bringing good mood.

It looks like beautiful day in Cracow, sunny since the morning, 10 degrees (Celsius)

Have a great day everyone

I'm stuck to the computer for more than an hour now! And I have some many things to do around the house.

These videos are much better quality. Thanks WDW!

Love Jake nodding in agreement with Ed when he talks about how they have grown and got many more experiences professionally and personally that this time around together for them would bring something different and new.

@mermon: totally agree on the magnetism even through our laptops. Mesmerizing!!!

Happy Saturday!
;o)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello everyone from a motorway services - busy! Where is everyone going?!

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments about here and the forum! I really appreciate it!

I'll add the other videos later. Maybe they'll add some more :)

Hello to Fie! Lovely to see you here!

Waves to sasha, karmentxu, mermon and eureka!

I loved when Ed said about how Jake and Anne had grown over the years since they did BBM together and that they brought those life experiences to this movie.

And I was touched when Anne was talking about the research she did and the woman who hugged her and thanked her for giving voice to a disease that doesn't have a voice. I was wondering if they ever approached Michael J Fox and spoke to him about parkinsons.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks Sweetpea :) It's good to think of Annie doing this research.

Just updated the post with the two other videos.

I hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday. I'm delighted to report that my mum loved PoP!

Darling Bluebell said...

What a fiesta to come home to this after a cold, rainy, windy day and a car accident (I'm fine, it's just the car). Thanks MTV and thanks WDW!

"I do like... maybe a little flirtation." 'Maybe', Jake? Seriously? Dude, you need a camera(wo)man to follow you for a week! I'll happily volunteer. :-)

'An animal magnetism' I agree with you mermon, Anne had that spot on.
And sweet, humble, adorable Jake, only capable of a little, very silent pause and then 'I wish Justin Bieber had played the part'. Awwwh.

Did anyone catch what Anne whispers to Jake at 0:34 in the 4th vid?

*sending a big hug to Sasha hoping tomorrow will be better than today* & Glad your mom liked PoP, WDW! :-D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Lady Ekster - I hope you're ok?! Do take it easy and have a good night. I'm glad Jake helped :)

I've not seen the added vids yet. It'll have to wait till I'm home and I can give them all the attention they deserve. Sound wonderful!

Linda said...

amazing !
you do a great Job Kate :)
God Bless you.

Darling Bluebell said...

Thanks Kate. :) A little Jaking always helps. :)
Apart from shaking all over I'm ok. I was driving my mother's car and some guy drove into the back bumper when the lights went green. He hit it quite hard, it's possibly a write-off. :(
I'm settling down with a movie in a minute - first some forumming to do I think. ;) I hope you are enjoying Sherlock!

Cazajuguetes said...

Oh, how nice your mom and you watching PoP together. How did she like it?
.
I just read in the previous post about the Macarena song.
;o)
Is it really part of the soundtrack?
That would be funny for me. It brings memories, here in Spain we had Macarena two years in a row. First year the spanish one second year the international-english one.
Not sure if you know this but it's a song from two southern spain singers ("light-flamenco" style rumbas, sevillanas,....). Well it's a fun song but two years in a row it was too much, dance included. In every single party Macarena. Oh my god!
.
Glad you are safe Lady Ekster.

sasha said...

@LadyEkster aww thanks for the hug :)

mermon said...

Lady Ekster! That's good nothing happened to you. I can only imagine how thrilled you are!

I'm glad WDW, that your mum liked POP.
Those two clips with Jake are hilarious, the most funny of them all. I have just watched it again :)
"I remember viagra when it first came out and it's pretty much I remember" (Jake - being 16 years old)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

That sounds shocking Lady E. I'm so glad you're home safe and relaxing.

Good to see you Linda, Sasha, Mermon and Eureka.

See you all tomorrow. I have another long drive home. Have a good evening!

sass said...

Wonderful and thanks to you I don't have to hunt them up. TY soo much. I wish I had more get up and go but you know I love this post....again TY

Alejandra said...

Could you believe I still haven't watched those videos? Bad connection, bad!!

I'll patiently wait for the right time. It'll come, sooner or later.

Hope those who didn't have a great day are rewarded tomorrow and the day after and the day after... with piles of joy. For those like Kate who got to share their joy with loved ones, I wish you tons of bliss.

It's a peaceful night where I am. I feel... quite good. :-)

Jake is sweating. I mean I know he's smokin hot but I wonder if it was hot in the room?

I liked the plaid shirt he wore. Blue is his color

Alejandra said...

Personal update: I just watched the first of the videos and I gotta say... I love you so much, Jake. So, so much... *is thrilled*

Hey, maybe I'll get to watch all the vids before LAOD opens in my country (bad connection is still bad, grrr)

Abby14 said...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the comments! Thanks for the link Hui, I've emailed Queenie to ask if I can post a picture :)

I'm back in the land of internet!

Just Fan said...

Jake and Anne are great together in the videos. The director seems nice. I hope for lots of good reviews for their film and I can't wait to finally see it. :)

Thanks for the updates WDW.

mermon said...

From Quennie Darleen' article I just discovered one more song from LAOD soundtrack - Spin Doctors - "Two Princes"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsdy_rct6uo&ob=av2e
This is great song. Oh, I already love this movie for so many reasons!
So we have "Beautiful girl" INXS -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH986VE47M8
"Macarena" and "Two Princes". What else?

Darling Bluebell said...

@Mermon: Spin Doctors - "Two Princes" That is such a great 90's song. :-) Another one from the trailer is "Feeling the moment" by Feeder > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjgQLEZ6vjY

Get Real said...

The videos are fantastic! I love seeing Jake and Anne interact. I especially love when Anne said Jake has an animal magnetism and asked the ladies in the crowd if they agreed and they did, lol.

I love hearing Jake and Anne talk about the filming and the acting process.

WDW, glad your mum enjoyed PoP! Hope you had a great weekend. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. :D

mermon said...

@Lady Ekster.:)one more song to add. Very pretty. So we have four of them.
Thx fo the link.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello!

Thanks so much for these song links - I'm really looking forward to the soundtrack although, I must say, the 90s had some very iffy music. Although the Spin Doctors were good. Macarena possibly less so :D

Hi Lady E, Get Real and Mermon! New post :D

lemniscate said...

G'day Folks,

It's 10:25AM here. I should be hard at work, instead I've been catching up here, watching LAOD interviews...
Thanks again for putting these up WDW. You're a LEGEND! *mwua*

I am so impressed by them. All three of them. Anne, Jake and Ed. Funny, smart, genuine. Great people. Great chemistry. Can't wait to see LAOD. *slaps self on wrist - to work! no more WDW for today!*

Hello WDW and everyone

Interesting videos. LAOD is obviously going to have a lot of depth.

Cheers
