I posted a video interview the other day from the red carpet - here is another one - please click here. I find this one particularly touching because Jake can hear the crowd chanting 'We want Jake!' and he turns round to wave and say hi, apologising to them that he has to do this (the interview). This was just like in Cannes - at these events, Jake loves to hear his name, to hear people 'chanting it up'. It's special to him - these aren't ordinary events in anyone's life.
I thought I'd post all of my pictures from inside the theatre when Gavin called his actors onto the stage one by one. As with all the pictures, if you click on them they'll be much bigger and you should get a good view.
An interview with Jake appeared in the Toronto Star on Sunday, in which Jake said that he was attracted to the character of Douglas because he was invisible. You may also know this interview because it's the one where Jake was so hot from the press junkets that when he arrived in the air conditioned suite he stripped off his jacket and shirt - yes, I remember it for that as well. Or because Jake commented that his mother sends him 'about 15 emails a day', all with links to political blogs. So while Jake works his way through his political links, we work our way through Jake links - I like that! Here is the interview in full - it's pretty spoilerfree - and here is the picture of Jake that came with it - I was fortunately able to buy the paper at the airport.
While I'm posting pictures, I thought you might be interested to see what happened while we were waiting for Jake and the others to arrive for the press conference on Friday at Sutton Place - Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard came out of their press conference. This was totally unexpected and very pleasant as I'd seen them both the night before at Jake's hotel. They arrived as he was leaving. So now it was the other way around.
Just after Jodie - who is just lovely in real life - and Terrence - who has to be one of the friendliest and outgoing stars at TIFF - left, Peter turned up. He was relaxed and extremely friendly. His pictures are followed by a picture of the actress from the film who played the daughter of the interrogator (not the love interest). My apologies for not knowing her name. Omar Metwally hung around the hotel a little longer. The same day I passed Gavin in the street, and Kelly Sane, the very handsome screenwriter, was across the street in the Bistro. It's such a small place.
This picture wasn't taken by me, but by a photographer right behind me and is exactly the same as the one I took but without the blur - thanks mate!
