You too can fill your house with Mini-Jakes... (and the PoP set)

Jake Gyllenhaal may not himself be attending Comic Con next week in San Diego (or is he?) but Mini-Jake is. Not only will Prince of Persia t-shirts and tie-in graphic novels be unveiled and wanted at the show, but there will also be the first look at Lego's PoP figures. I think I need to post this again...


And it's not just mini Prince Dastans and Evil Viziers that will fill up our mantelpieces, shelves, work surfaces, car dashboards, office desks and TV tops, we'll also be able to get the whole set in lego format. Admittedly, the entire Prince of Persia set in lego format will take a little more room, and you do have to build the thing, but who needs furniture when you can have your very own medieval citadel in your living room, complete with your very own mini Jake Gyllenhaal parkouring up its walls? Essential for 2010.

I'm also looking forward to the (un)dressable doll with full accessories.


As for Big Jake, he's been spotted a couple of times this weekend - out shopping with Atticus at the Wagging Tail pet's boutique on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. Hopefully, whatever Jake bought for Atticus, it was coordinated.


Jake was also spotted at a Coldplay concert in LA. When I hear of Coldplay and Jake together I am always reminded, not of Gwyneth and Proof, but of the time I heard of Jake's vanishing act during the filming of The Day After Tomorrow when he sneaked off to see Coldplay.


And finally...

It's great to see Peter Sarsgaard getting more publicity, this time for the scary movie, Orphan. Here is an interview with the cast, in which Peter reveals he is a fan of the horror genre. Gulp. There are also some new publicity photos from the film.


Includes pictures from IHJ and links.

Hi, thank you for posting the PoP pic again, because I didn't manage to comment on it yesterday...
It's a great pic... What a face... And OMG, the eyes, the eyes...

Hm, an "undressable doll with full accessories"... How about an "undressable doll with full access"?? ;D ;D ;D

Do you think Jake bought Atticus a pink pullover like they have on their homepage??

Interesting pic of Peter there... Somehow fitting to his voice...
I don't think I will watch the movie though - might be too much horror for me. :-/

I hope you all will have a good week.

PS: Sorry for still having Ukulele Jake as avatar, but I need something to cheer me up at the moment... Off to another week in the hell called Bratislava...

(((Uli))) For you, I'll even out up with Ukelele Jake... I'm very sorry you have yet another weeke in Bratislava :(

The new PoP pic is beautiful and I couldn't leave it out of the post. Chuckling at the 'access'!

I saw that pet shop when I was in LA and I stared through the window, not believing what I was seeing! I've not seen anything like that over here. I hope Jake got Atti something lovely :D

I like the pic of Peter, but yes this film is far too scary for me. But I want to see it as it's Peter. Maybe with the sound off...

I hope the week goes ok *)

Wow this POP sounds like a very big franchise (sp?) ..i'm just wondering whether Jake will be sort of type cast as the prince :P?
Glad to of Atticus :)

YAAAY Jake likes Coldplay..they are my all time favourite baand..he's just too perfect for me ;)

If POP was one of the first movies Jake had made then maybe there might be is that all they'll want him to play. But he has an excellent resume of different type of roles already, so POP will be just a different type of movie. "Brothers" will be out only 5 months before POP and then the next movie will be completely different. His movies will be open to whatever he choses to do. Can be well known for certain ones but they don't affect the career.

Good morning everyone! Nothing like signing in here first thing on a Monday and being faced with Uli's Ukelele Jake...

Hey Silver! It's going to be very big but hopefully it will give Jake the opportunities to do a whole range of films. It is good to hear of Jake out and about with Atticus :D

Morning Anon :D One of the things I've always loved about Jake's career is its range - he does all I need - Brokeback, serious dramas, films that make you think and puzzle over, films that make me laugh, action roles, blockbusters, just the lot. And he can do them all. And now we could have musicals on the way!

Love to start the day talking Jake :D Have a good day everyone!

Action figures and Lego's...yeah! My nephew is a master and Lego's and I bet a few PoP ones will get to him next year. ;)

So nice to hear of Jake and Atticus out and about. :D Hope we see some new pics of them together. It's been a long time and they are so cute and sweet together.

I love Peter but Orphan does not interest me. :/

Hope everyone has a decent Monday. I am tired after a busy weekend.
