Maggie - 'I'm going to try and express what's beautiful in me' and Peter's English spring

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the cover girl and leading lady of May's edition of Interview and today I managed to get hold of a copy, so, for all those outside of the US, without a handy international Borders, here are the stunning pictures of this lovely lady, along with the interview itself - click and the text shall be bigger (apologies for the clippings of the text - this magazine is too oddly shaped for my old scanner). It's good to hear that, despite the lack of good roles for women out there, Maggie seems now to be growing into that beautiful and sexy skin of her's and is making the very best out of what Hollywood can offer her.











An Education preview

Rotten Tomatoes paid a visit to the English set of Peter Sarsgaard's An Education, giving us some more photos from the film as well as a few words from Peter on what it's like to bring an Englishman to the big screen. Made me chuckle to read here that Peter kept to his English accent during his interview, just as he did with me. And, yes, it was impressive but, in Oxford, that accent is far from dated.


'Sarsgaard, who's tackling an impressive and specifically dated British accent for the film and sticks with it as he sits down with RT, was won over by the secrets David keeps. "It's the oldest cheat in the world," he laughs, "especially if the audience learns that I have a secret. It makes me seem rather deep even if I'm rather shallow! It at least gives me two dimensions! Being an American playing a British person who is pretending to be another person, I mean, I'm already doing it. I'm doing it the moment I start speaking. It's such an easy role, in the greatest sense of that word. Sometimes I go home and I wonder if I'm doing a good job because it doesn't feel difficult."'


Talking of Peter, he ran into a little trouble when getting ready for the premiere of Kinsey due to his girlfriend's surname: 'Maggie Gyllenhaal - she of the cherubic-moonpie face (Jake's sister!) - is his actress girlfriend, and a FedEx package for the guy was destined for him c/o her. It went awry. A smallish crisis. It just so happened that it contained Peter's get-up for walking down the red carpet for Kinsey, the movie in which he stars with Liam Neeson and Laura Linney. "I had a suit that was being sent over from Italy and they sent it addressed to my girlfriend," Sarsgaard said to a friend, who happened to be congratulating the actor on his threads. "They misspelled her name so the suit got returned to FedEx and is now sitting in a customs office in Milan, Italy. So I had to do a quick shopping ..." But as the source points out, the name Sarsgaard on the label would have been little better.


Holy you've got to be kidding me, Batman

Meanwhile, with the release of Iron Man, there has been speculation on one site, that there would be noone better than Jake Gyllenhaal to reinvent that most famous and most wimpy of superhero sidekicks 'Gyllenhaal would be the perfect choice both to reinvent Robin and to add a new element to the presumably upcoming third new Batman movie - after all, Chris Nolan seems to enjoy employing a heavyweight cast and Jake's sister already has her foot in the door, so why not go the whole hog?'
