Jake Gyllenhaal is back! Yesterday (23 July), Jake was out shopping in Hollywood meaning that at long last vital questions can be answered. 1. Jake's beard has indeed been enjoying the benefits of the summer sunshine and has been growing faster than most people's tomatoes. Evidently, Jake's itchy tolerance levels have increased in recent years - either that or he's playing George V in his next movie.
2. Jake appears to have regained much of the muscle that he had lost after Prince of Persia and this is despite not having the long hair for the wash and condition regimen. He's most definitely buffer. 3. Jake has kept the new shoes despite the splodge on them. 4. Jake has lost all his cutlery and is resorting to a plastic fork and spoon. 5. Stand Up to Cancer remains on Jake's mind. 6. Jake's one of these cool people who doesn't get tangled up in his headphone wires. 7. Jake is hot. Great to see you back, Jake!
Jake Gyllenhaal was out and about shopping in Hollywood yesterday (Friday 4 September), looking so fine no-one can keep their eyes off him, even the model posters. Notice how I'm not mentioning that Jake needs jeans that fit. Many thanks to IHJ for the new pictures.
And today there was this: 'Eric Eason, who wrote and directed the award-winning indie feature Manito, will rewrite and direct Intermedia Films' Wannabe. Jake Gyllenhaal is eyeing the project but no deals are yet in place and there is no start date for the film. The film is described as a modern-day mob story based on the offspring of mobsters who defy the traditions and protocols of their elders and embark on their own bloody paths. The project was originally based on a New Yorker magazine article by Mike McAlary and adapted by CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.'
I have to say mobster movies are not my thing whenever they are set, but it may explain the hats.
ProIMDb has now changed Nailed's status from unknown to completed. Whether this means anything or not is another matter, but here's hoping it means a lot.
At last! A set of pictures from Brothers of Jake Gyllenhaal (and Natalie Portman) doing what he does best. A big thanks to IHJ for finding these - it makes me think a trailer may be on the way. Looking good, Jake! Source.
And Love and Other Drugs is getting more official, with an update at Reuters and Hollywood Reporter. 'Reidy was a drug rep for Pfizer in the late 1990s who eventually wrote a memoir that shined a light on the practices of the pharmaceutical industry. Gyllenhaal will play the salesman, who begins a relationship with a woman who has Parkinson's (Hathaway) while on one of his sales calls. Their love story plays out in the political and social context of the time. Zwick and his Bedford Falls partner Marshall Herskovitz are producing along with Scott Stuber. Carla Hacken is overseeing for Fox 2000, Kara Francis for New Regency. Fox is in the process of obtaining the rights from Universal, which had put the project into turnaround. The filmmakers hope to begin shooting in the fall.' NYC Weekend continues
More thanks are due to IHJ for further pictures from Jake and Reese's NYC weekend - shopping in Soho and leaving a restaurant.
Just sit back, kick off your shoes, pour a glass, get out some nibbles and relax, and take a longer, slower look at Jake Gyllenhaal as the sexily distressed and hotly active Prince of Persia, courtesy of IHJ.
The ABC video gives everyone a good view of a Jake Gyllenhaal they may not be accustomed to and comments about the plot of the film and its take on the much-loved game are shoved to one side by the reactions of open-mouthed and goggle-eyed viewers. I enjoyed Cinematical's article, for instance, but I had to marvel at this: 'It would be nice to see something from Prince of Persia other than Jake Gyllenhaal's incredible physique, wouldn't it?' Really? Can't we have more of it instead?
The images of an all action, bare-chested, sword-slashing, wall-leaping, feisty princess-rescuing, street-urchining, armour-wearing Jake were a little too late to stop Jake's slide in the AfterEltop Hot 100, which was announced today. After two years' running at the top, Jake was number 4 today. But, as AfterElton said: 'The Brokeback Mountain star has three movies in post-production for release in 2009, and they show the range of this talented young actor. He’ll come to us first in Brothers, an Afghan war-era tearjerker, followed by the political satire Nailed. Then we get to the prize: Prince of Persia, based on the video game. Pictures from the set of Persia show Jake as a buff, ripped, action star, defying gravity and defeating the bad guys as his long hair ripples in the wind. So, yes, the lovable Jake slipped a little this year. Call it out of sight, out of mind. But something tells us that come next year, Jake will have a good shot at regaining his Hot 100 crown.'
Jake's much admired muscles continue to be put to good use - yesterday (May 10) Jake was seen at the Whole Foods Brentwood store. It would seem impolite not to call attention to Jake's tongue at this point.
Three years ago today (29 January), I went to see Brokeback Mountain, and I could have had no idea what those two hours would mean for the future of my life - in terms of life decisions, friendships and priorities. And, on top of that, the excitement and thrills of three years of adventures involving one Jake Gyllenhaal. So, tonight, thanks are due to Jake, to Heath, and to all those who created and shaped Brokeback Mountain, for the changes they made in me. And love to all who have shared a similar journey.
A time to relax
After a strange couple of days for Jake, during which his patience has been tested, his boredom threshold challenged and his attempts to go incognito foiled, I wish Jake a day or two of easy living and relaxation, complete with candlelit scented baths and a long movie, watched stretched out on a comfy sofa. Tonight, I thought I'd take a look at some of the ways in which Jake has relaxed in the past - most of which involve a shopping trolley, a furry coat and a vigilant ear, and a plate and glass of the best.
So, to relax the Gyllenhaal way, you might want to head for the shops - to buy clothes or strange items for the kitchen.
Stroke something furry.
Take time out - for a meal, to chat to a friend or just to watch the world go by.
