Rock - A night at the Hollywood Bowl... and Axl Rose?

Last night it was tweeted that Jake Gyllenhaal had been seen at Jenny Lewis and Ray LaMontagne's show at the Hollywood Bowl that evening. And today we have the pictures of Jake and Reese leaving the Bowl. As compensation for the report that Jake was irritable with the paps while Reese argued with them while less than sober, we do have chesthair. Jake is nothing if not protective here while Reese looks like she's having some fun. Hopefully they enjoyed the concert.



Am I the only one who wants to turn Jake's VIP Guest sticker the right way up?


I wonder if Jake is growing Rendition hair for a purpose...

And, speaking of rock, now for the strange news of the day. A blog reported at the weekend that they had seen a report in the Rollingstone that said that the movie about Kurt Cobain, now entitled Heavier than Heaven, was at last in pre-production and that Jake Gyllenhaal is included in the cast as Axl Rose! To add some credence to this is the identity of the screenwriter - David Benioff - who was, of course, the writer for Brothers. Quite an array of actors is listed as associated with the project. So is this true?


Jake is now linked with a whole heap of musical movies - it does seem to be a running theme. I cannot picture Jake in Guns 'n' Roses, no matter how hard I try. And thinking about Kurt Cobain inevitably makes me think about Pilot.


Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures.

oh my.. Axl Rose used to be on my "top 5 guys you have the blessing to cheat on your partner" list...

Guns'n'Roses - YAY!!

I don't know what the paps said to Jake or Reese (or both) but Reese looked totally like a silly drunk in that car pic... although getting pissed on beer?? where are they come? *g*

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Winterbird :D OMG - you and Axl Rose, eh? I must admit to owning much of their music - I like to drive to it. But Jake - in a kilt with long hair? Flip - maybe tha's why he's growing it!!

I'd never get at anyone for going out and having a drink and enjoying themselves, but in front of cameras? Jake looks like he's trying to protect her from getting her picture all round the world the next day... Chuckling at the beer :D That's an apperatif!

I'm ready to go to a gig again... :D I hope everyone's having a good evening!

I like this idea too - Jake playing a musician. His hair looks great, and he does too. I think Reese looks cute! :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! I can see Jake playing a musician. It can't be a coincidence all these music roles getting attached to Jake. I think Reese is having a good time - the pictures of her and Jenny are fun :)

Carol said...

Evening all.

Reese looks really cute here. She definitely looks like she's having a good time:) I agree that Jake is being protective of her . I can't even imagine what it's like to have the paps trying to take pictures of you when you are enjoying a night out.

I'd be very interested in a Kurt Cobain movie but I can't see Jake as Axl Rose. That may explain the hair though. It will be intersesting to see if this turns out to be true.

Have a good evening:)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Carol! I'd like to see Jake having a good time too and then a driver taking them both home squiffy :D I suppose paps are inevitable here so I don't see any point to Jake and Reese scolding them from the car. The paps'd love it.

If this cast for the Cobain movie is true, then it's amazing and I can see Jake doing a cameo role in it - but Axl Rose?! I love the idea of Jake, Cate Blanchett, Ryan Gosling, Jack Black etc in one film. I do hope we get some information on this :DD

Anonymous said...

It does sound like a great cast, doesn't it? :)

Carol said...

I agree they don't do themselves any favours scolding the paps. They are playing right into their hands when they react like that. A driver taking them swiftly home would definitely be a better option.

Wow what a cast for the Kurt Cobain movie. I'm really hoping this is true:)

Doesn't Axel Rose have kind of blond hair? I just can't see Jake playing him. That's a weird rumor...

Ah! Pilot! Highway was one bizarre movie but how can you not love Pilot? :)

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

It really does, Anon :D

I agree, Carol. Ooh, I just saw your new pic! Lookin' great :D

Hey Olympia :D he does - I really, really cannot see Jake with long blond hair - aaaaggh!!

Pilot is irresistable. I still owe a Highway post - it's coming :D

winterbird said...

Axl doesn't always have blond hair (he used to do it corn-roll style, which is kind of strange), but I can see Jake in this Axl Rose style:

Axl Rose

Wet Dark and Wild said...

What can I say Winterbird but..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Monica said...

Good night, wet dark!

Axl Rose?
I think this cast of stars much exaggerated for a movie.

Comic Con:
Disney has left its upcoming Jake Gyllenhaal live-action video-game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time off its Thursday film panel schedule; it will be the subject of a Friday panel on the comics and graphic novel tie-ins. But it's possible Disney could sneak in a glimpse at new footage from the movie, much as it sneaked a tease for Tron last year. Persia opens May 28, 2010.

Fingers crossed!

BBMISwear said...

I don't even know what to think of the Axl Rose thing...but I have always loved G-N-R!

Oh...and Pilot...Yum!! Love that kid!!

I hate seeing Jake so upset with the paps. I can only imagine how hard it is to deal with them day after day but getting worked up over them is the worst thing to do. A smile, a wave, and a kind "good night guys" as they get into the car may have worked better. Life as an A-List actor I guess.

BTW - I'm smiling ear to ear at your comments to my comment from yesterday's post TD, Anon and WDW. Thanks for enjoying my walk down memory lane with me for a bit! I love how you refer to it, WDW, as going "dreamy-eyed and vacant"! Yep...that pretty much is what happens every time I think about it. I still can't believe I had the guts to do that...and he just giggled! Seriously...giggled! I think he likes attention...LOL!!

Goodnight everyone (some of you already sound asleep).

:-)

Sigh - it must have been wonderful, hearing him laugh for real.

Goodnight! :)

Good morning everyone!

Morning Monica! ooh fingers crossed and if there is a trailer or glimpse I hope we get to see it too.

Hi there BBMISwear :-) Loved walking down memory lane with you. And how I love to hear you talk of giggly Jake.

Atti's Twitter! Shush boy - There could be some extremely delicate heads around :D

Chucking at Playing it close and LoL !

Have a good day everyone :D

TD said...

Giggly Jake and Pilot. Ahhh. I may just go and buy Highway (just rented it before now).

Anonymous said...

BBMISwear, you were the direct cause of a gyllengiggle? I'm so jealous, you lucky girl! :) Is your account of that day still on LJ? I couldn't read it back then because I didn't have an LJ account so couldn't ask to be friended. I'd really like to read it.

Have a good day everyone!

Olympia

get real said...

Crazy pics of Jake and Reese, lol. I like that they hang out with Jenny Lewis..she is cool.

Aw, love Pilot!

Jake as Axl Rose?!?! I know Rolling Stone had mentioned it a while ago, but to hear it mentioned again...wow! Would be very interesting for sure. ;p

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello! Hope everyone's having a more fun day than me...

Hi TD :D You must buy it!

Hey Olympia :D It's so worth reading, I'll let BBMISwear send you the details. I don't know if you have to be friended or not.

Morning Get Real :D That would be interesting for sure. It could mean bad hair so in that case it's bound to happen!

"It could mean bad hair so in that case it's bound to happen!"
LOL! It really does seem like Jake chooses scripts where he has bad hair on purpose! :DDD Sorry you're having a bad day, at least work is almost over for you, right? Hang in there. :)

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Olympia! If it means bad haor, it's a dead cert for getting made :D Maybe Jake should introduce a 'Good Hair Clause' to his contracts. The work day is over, I'm back from spinning and winding down while listening to some heavy rain fall... I hope you had a good day :D
