Jake Gyllenhaal talks about Moon, a lovestruck Duncan Jones and getting back on the stage

We have a great new interview with Jake Gyllenhaal from New Zealand. with that I mean 'new' in the sense of newly released but judging by Jake's Hairometer, the interview was recorded at the same time as most of the other video chats. But there are a couple of things I particularly like about this one, aside from the initial flirtiness with the 'best dressed' interviewer, and that is Jake's comments about his initial meeting with Duncan Jones about the Source Code script. Apparently, Duncan had just met his girlfriend and he was too in love to want to stop around and chat. It's the way Jake tells it so watch the video.


Jake is also reminded about his time on stage in London for This is Your Youth and he says that he is searching for the right project because on stage is where he feels 'most comfortable'. It's interesting but not surprising to hear Jake describe Duncan's directing technique as theatrical as I think it does show in some of SOurce Code's scenes - the fact that each source code was filmed as one as well as the nature of the sets. This interview also gives Jake another chance to praise Duncan's work on Moon and that of its star, Sam Rockwell.


Tweets can be as illuminating as they can be confusing. Today is a case in point. There have been at least two sightings of Jake today - one at the Sunday Farmers' Market in Hollywood and another in Hawaii. One of the two gains added authenticity because it involves food. Although the second would have the advantage of beach clobber.


And finally...

Completely off topic but I'm off to a special screening of the new Pirates of Caribbean film tomorrow. It's almost a year to the day since the similar Prince of Persia screening I went to. Very exciting! Big thanks to Blogomatic3000 and Disney! This could be quite a week...
