Madrid, Rome, Berlin! A first catch up with Jake Gyllenhaal and Duncan Jones on the Source Code tour. Tonight Madrid and Rome...

It's official - Jake Gyllenhaal is in Iceland with Bear Grylls, getting ready to bite off the heads of the famous Icelandic snow snake while encamped in the hollowed out carcass of a conveniently-sized walrus. But while Jake and Bear scale glaciers, descend into volcanoes and boil batwings in geysers, with nothing but a blunt penknife for emergencies, it does give me a bit of time to catch up. And I have so much to catch up on! So much so that it's not possible for me to fit it all in one post, or even in two or three. So this is catchup part one.


However, before I start, I would like Jake to know that a few days with Bear Grylls is not like a few days with most other Brits. I'm also sure it's not like a typical few days in Iceland.

Madrid

I am so grateful for the generosity of Eureka and Carlota in sending me photographs, accounts, audio and video of their remarkable day with Jake Gyllenhaal in Madrid last Tuesday. I've posted some of it but Berlin prevented me from presenting the rest. There is video from behind the scenes of the press conference, when Jake made a point of signing autographs and posing for photographs.




Here is the moment when Carlota's cousin Carmen asked Jake a question at the press conference. Jake's answer is the video below.




In this post I've included Eureka's amazing photographs from the photocall. How incredible to witness that!







There are other videos from Madrid, including the press conference.

Rome

There are quite a few videos from Source Code's press day in Italy, including the press conference itself.






Berlin

I have so much to post about Berlin - it will have to wait til tomorrow. There are some sensational pictures from Christina, Ayda and Mrs JG, with whom I'm so glad I could share this experience. And I thought my pictures were good... In the meantime, you can imagine how thrilled I was to see this show up. I'm a couple of seats to Duncan's left.



And finally...

So more from Berlin tomorrow and there is also some more from Madrid! Not to mention some more of my WDW Berlin Interlude. Meanwhile Duncan Jones declared today that Source Code publicity was now at an end and put the last few mad days into a blog post. I hope he can get some rest now - while Jake teaches Bear how to rustle up something delicious with seaweed, lava rocks and blubber.
