There are further new images of Jake not only shorn on his face but also on his head. While we'll have to wait for tomorrow (or Sunday UK time) to learn if Jake does make it to San Diego's Comic-Con as the programme lists, we can still enjoy the images. Incidentally, the media has been a little surprised at the inclusion of End of Watch at this Comic-Con Superhero/Sparkly Antihero/Alien fest. There's this from E! and more from Hollywood.com. The verdict seems to be that Jake puts bums on seats - reason enough! Let's hope the absence of his name in this tweet was an oversight.
UPDATE: Jake didn't attend Comic-Con. Instead his message was presented as a video. Details to come in the next post.
Meanwhile, the actress to play Anna, the teenager in Jake's imminent play If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet has been cast. She is conveniently called Annie (Funke).

Wow, a shorn Jake. He's had the beard for so long I would probably have to do not only a double-take but a triple-take to make sure it was him.
It does seem odd that EOW is at Comic-Con but since it is I was wondering if there might be a graphic novel tie-in or something to the movie. Or EOW might be in an action-hero category? Don't have a clue - just hopeful there will be some sightings and a panel discussion that includes Jake in person.
Sorry, I am apparently keyboard impaired today. That was my comment just now. 'S' stands for Susan...
Hi (S)usan! I can't fathom why it would be there but as long as it is I hope Jake makes it! I want to hear him talk about the film.
...maybe I'm the only one but honestly I have to say that I'll miss Jake the Sasquatch! Anyway here we are...An enemy is done, comic-con on the way and few weeks to see Jake on stage! I love Gyllenbusy years! Thanks Kate for the great job and enjoy the "olimpic air" for me too!
Kisses and a wonderful weekend to everyone!

Thanks Carlotta! Happy days :) And you may well be the only one!
If this pic of Jake is a real one, he has a very interesting look now - clean shaven face and quite long hair. I love that combination!
Tomorrow is soon :), so we will find out about Jake participating or not at Comic-Con. I hope he will. Let's wait for any tweets from the airports. That would be a sign.
Girl taking Anna's part seems a right choice, judging from her picture and quite impressive in her age - acting past. Lucky her to get that part!
Sorry, folks but -
ARE you really sure the guy on the left side of this very blurry photograph is, aherm, Jake Gyllenhaal??
Looks like him to me, Antje. We'll have to wait and see for shaven proof but I'm pretty sure it's him.
Hi Mermon! Yes, we need to follow the Twitter trail!
theres been some tweets that place Jake back in Toronto sans the beard which if true probably Jake will not make it to Comic Con maybe not quite finished yet
Hi MK! Seems you were right!
Jake didn't attend Comic-Con. Instead, his message was presented as a video during the panel attended by Michael Pena and David Ayer. More details to follow. Disappointing.
But then today has been a supremely disappointing day - the festival I was supposed to attend this weekend after planning it for months was cancelled this morning for rain.
