Jake Gyllenhaal to star in Motor City opposite Gary Oldman?

At long last there is possible news of a potential future role in the works for Jake Gyllenhaal.

Dominic Cooper was set to star in Motor City as a criminal out to seek revenge on the man (Gary Oldman) who framed him and sent him to jail. Cooper has now fallen out of the film thanks to scheduling conflicts and Variety is reporting that Jake is in negotiations to star opposite Oldman and Amber Heard instead of Dominic. Albert Hughes is the director. The film is due to begin shooting in Berlin in April. More details from Deadline.

Honour done to the 'extraordinary young man with an extraordinary talent'

January 25 2009, Screen Actors Guilds Awards, Best Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger. To accept - Gary Oldman: 'I’m quite emotional now. It is a great honour to be asked to accept this on behalf of Heath. He was an extraordinary young man with an extraordinary talent, and it’s wonderful that you all have acknowledged that and honoured that talent tonight...'



'On behalf of Heath, his family and his family on The Dark Knight, I thank you.'



The awards season of 2009 continues, with every sign that Heath's name will be read out at the Academy Awards this February - bittersweet pride to follow by the shedload. Time to remember SAGs 2006, when the biggest controversy surrounding Jake and Heath's appearance on the stage was the meaning behind the posture and stance of a young man who was uncomfortable at such events but deserved in abundance the awards they offered.



Many congratulations are also due to Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep for their awards last night.
