[Updated] New LAOD image... Jake Gyllenhaal in NYU Q&A for Love and Other Drugs tonight and Bruce Willis on Jake - he's one to watch

[Updated] Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and Other Drugs. I can say no more.... Source with thanks to Lady Ekster for the heads up.


On with the post...

Tonight, if you're a card carrying member of NYU, you can see Love and Other Drugs for free and then put your questions to Jake Gyllenhaal and Ed Zwick. It's playing at the 'Regal E-Walk, 247 West 42nd Street' at 7pm. This tells us two things - 1) Jake is indeed back in NYC (let's hope he brought the razor back with him) and 2) Love and Other Drugs is having a rather unconventional release.


Last week, students at NYU could have seen Love and Other Drugs for free and just a cursory sweep of the net reveals a myriad of screenings across the US. After news of the gala scheduled for the opening night of the prestigious AFI Fest on 4 November we then heard that the 'premiere' would then take place tomorrow night in NYC at the CMJ music and film festival. But both events have been preceded by a bunch of Q&As and screenings of one type or another and one has to wonder if the US premiere of Love and Other Drugs will have that special sparkle of magic dust that we expect when we hear the word 'premiere'. I also wonder what the CMJ organisers will think knowing that the film is getting a starry screening and Q&A at NYU tonight, just one day ahead of its own big event.



Talking of premieres, Red was centre stage in Leicester Square, London, last night and, apart from praising National Treasure Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis picked Jake Gyllenhaal as one of the younger stars to watch and to trust. Jake and Justin Timberlake. They're 'tough', Bruce said in a John McClane kind of voice. You can see the moment here.



Of course, Jake and Bruce are tennis buddies...






Viva Gwynneth!

I know that I've been slightly critical of Ms GP in recent posts (well, in recent years, to be honest) and so, in order to try and make some amends (but not too many) it seems only right to mention the credit that Jake paid to Gwynnie at the Elle tribute for Brokeback Mountain: 'It was the experience of watching Gwyneth dressed as a young boy that immediately lead me to sign onto Brokeback Mountain.'



Thanks to IHJ for the pictures. The Jake and Bruce pics are from the 2009 US Open.

Game, set and match to Jake Gyllenhaal!

The crowd is on the edge of its seat. The tension mounts. Jake Gyllenhaal v Bruce Willis - who will win this clash of the titans?


Against all odds, Jake goes for broke - he undoes a button.


Peter can hardly stand to look.


An ace! The crowd goes wild! But controversy - the line judges question whether the ball was good.


Yes! There was chalk! Amid celebrations concerns mount about the toothpick threat.


Bruce who?


Game, set and match to Jake Gyllenhaal!

[Updated update] Jake Gyllenhaal at the US Open Men's Final. And remembering Patrick

Jake Gyllenhaal was on hand to distract Bruce Willis at the US Open Men's Final yesterday - a match which saw Juan Martin Del Potro beat Roger Federer. Is it possible that this is the haircut and look for Jake's Jamie in Love and Other Drugs? If so, then I am a very happy Gyllenhaalic indeed! He looks amazing. Many thanks to IHJ for these wonderful pictures. This post has been added to multiple times, so keeep on checking!


For the benefit of those on this side of the Pond, Jake is here greeting American Idol singer Constantine Maroulis... Wonder if he got Jake's vote.



And we have Peter too...


Another picture (source) shows that Jake also sat close to Tony Bennett. Is it just me or does the guy to Jake's left look a little like Doug Liman?


[Updated again] Thanks to BBMISwear for another picture! BBMISwear has also identified the other person in the preceding pictures as Ebon Moss-Bachrach.


And another update with some more great pictures (source)!




And yet more gorgeous pictures from IHJ. We have multiple drinks, toothpicks, eyes, clapping, hotness. The NYPost also noticed Jake's distractie powers.





And PopSugar gives us Peter Sarsgaard.


Patrick Swayze 1952-2009

Thinking today of Patrick's family and friends and remembering golden movie memories, not least of which was Patrick's portrayal of Jim Cunningham in Donnie Darko.
