A second trailer for Enemy and Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie and Peter Sarsgaard at Pussy Riot NYC fundraiser

If there's one thing better than one trailer for Enemy, it's two trailers for Enemy. With huge thanks to IHJ, here is a second trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal's next film, out (although not too widely) on 14 March.



It's mean a while since we've seen Jake with Maggie and Peter Sarsgaard but last Thursday all three attended a fundraising event for Pussy Riot and the Voice Project at the Spotted Pig restaurant in New York City. Maggie was one of the hosts. I'm very glad to see Jake and Peter were there, too.

Last week, of course, saw the terrible news of the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, just a couple of days after the announcement that he was to direct Jake and Amy Adams in Ezekiel Moss. Yesterday (7 February), Jake, Amy and Michelle Williams were among the mourners at the private funeral. Details here.

Enemy trailer and new ghost story movie news for Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams

Hot on the heels of the new Enemy poster this week, we now have the first full trailer for Enemy. We've had bits and pieces of tasters before but this give us much more. It might give you the shivers. Of course, the bonus, is Multiple Jakes.



There is also movie news! Early days at the moment but Deadline has announced that Jake Gyllenhaal is to star alongside Amy Adams in Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut Ezekiel Moss. Set during the Prohibition, 'The story follows Iris (Adams) who, emotionally fragile by the recent loss of her husband, manages to scrape by to provide for her spirited son by running a boarding house in a small town overrun by religious fervor. Their lives are forever changed when she begins to fall in love with Ezekiel Moss (Gyllenhaal), a mysterious drifter who has the divine ability to channel and physically inhabit the spirits of the dead.'

A ghost story! What do you think? I have to say I love the sound of this! And with the lovely Amy Adams, too. Talking of whom, above is Jake with Amy during the 2011 Oscars (thanks to IHJ).

Note: This post was written a few hours before last night's dreadful news about Philip Seymour Hoffman. One can only offer one's sympathy to his family and friends. Not surprisingly, plans to discuss Ezekiel Moss in Germany have been shelved while decisions are made about the fate of the film.

UPDATED UPDATE! Jake Gyllenhaal, a giraffe, Jeff Bridges and the Big Lebowski

Tony's Updates:

Updated update updated! here, as we all hoped, is Jake presenting at the Guy's Choice awards wearing a very cunning disguise.... Thanks so much,. Stephanie!


Updated update! With huge thanks to IHJ here are the videos of Jake on stage and backstage last night.





Here's a video of Jake arriving at the Tony's last night. Hopefully there will be more - updates and updated updates will be updated!



On with the post...

It is a truth universally acknowledge that Gyllenhaalics spend a considerable amount of their time giving Jake tips about the hair on his head and face. It would seem that he is more in need of our advice than ever.

But no. Jake hasn't been mixing miracle hair growth powders in his milk, nor was he snapped on the way to do the schoolrun (an activity undertaken by 98% of people in their pyjamas), he was presenting Jeff  Bridges with his Original Dude Award at the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards held in LA yesterday. Jake was in a cunning disguise as Jeff's famous creation the Big Lebowski. I don't know about you but I was fooled for a while. The awards will air on Spike TV on Wednesday. This is one routine, I am desperate to see!

I think the giraffe is a nice touch. I might be wrong but I think this is the first time I've ever posted a photo of Jake in a wig with no trousers on next to a giraffe.

Jake didn't scrub up to be photographed with the giraffe but he did for Amy Adams.

Thanks to IHJ for the great pics! There are more there.

But it's back to NYC for Jake now, to present at the Tony Awards tonight. His seat is waiting for him. The post will be updated tomorrow with photos from that event. Even if Jake wears his smartest suit, it might be hardfor the Tony's to top the giraffe. Photo source.

Jake Gyllenhaal in LA 1 March, behind the scenes at the Oscars, a little extra LAOD and SC science

After all that Oscar partying, there's only one thing for it: a full fry up (veggie, of course) with extra toast. Not surprisingly, then, Jake Gyllenhaal was seen at La Cienega Grill Café in LA yesterday lunchtime (1 March). There are more pictures at FYB.



At the Oscars, Jake presented the award for Best Live Action Short to Luke Matheny. for God of Love. The producer of that film, Stephen Dypiangco, has been talking about that magical evening: 'Stephen also recalled how Jake Gyllenhaal teased Luke when he was having his photo taken at the media room after the awards. According to Stephen, Jake told Luke, ‘Look at all these photographers. They are all your new friends!’" Stephen recalled that at one of the parties they went to, Luke saw Jake again. As Luke wanted to talk to Jake again, he followed him. "Since we, his entourage, were all following him, we followed Luke too. It turned out that Jake went to the men’s room. So suddenly, there was a long bee line outside the men’s room!" Stephen recalled, laughing.'

In this brief video below, you can see Jake, Luke and Amy Adams backstage.



Love and Other Drugs deleted scene

Hopefully, many of you now have the LAOD DVD or Blu-Ray. If you haven't, you can see one of the deleted scenes from it below, thanks to the NYP.



And finally...

The science of Source Code has a write up in Wired. It is very slightly spoilery so do consider that before you follow this link (although it does give fair warning).

The morning after - The Oscar recap featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathway and a cast of thousands...

What a night. While I wait for the coffee to have some affect and contemplate where in the office might be the most suitable place for a discreet nap, there's time for a look at what was for me the highlight in a ceremony that went on for an extraordinary amount of time: the Jake Gyllenhaal Bit.


Jake and Amy Adams (a nominee herself and wearing an extremely long dress)presented the awards for Best Documentary Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Film. The latter went to Luke Matheny for 'God of Love'. He also got one of the biggest laughs of the night. "I should have gotten a haircut."


As for the important stuff - what Jake was wearing - we hear from JJ that 'Jake wore a black made-to-measure Salvatore Ferragamo tuxedo, with double breasted jacket and gros grain details, paired with a pair of black leather Tramezza lace-up shoes.'


As mentioned in last night's update, Jake was able to share a moment with nominee Michelle Williams as well as her partner for the evening Busy Philipps.




Jake was also photographed with another of his co-stars, Gwyneth Paltrow, who had some rather unsettling news for Jake... 'Gwyneth Paltrow, apparently a bit nervous about performing the Oscar-nominated song from "Country Strong," crossed paths with Jake Gyllenhaal, about 30 minutes before Sunday's show started. "Hey, I'm sitting right behind you," he said. "Oh good, I'll throw up on you then," she replied.'


At 5:07pm (still a long, long way to go): 'There's major mingling inside the theatre now. On one side, Colin Firth kisses Amy Adams on the cheek. In the centre, Hugh Jackman is shown to his front-row seat before bouncing away. On the other side, Jake Gyllenhaal greets Marisa Tomei and Hilary Swank. "We're sitting next to each other," Swank excitedly tell Gyllenhaal.' Lucky Hilary! There were some other familiar faces too.







As for the Oscars themselves, take a look here at the opening skit by James Franco an Anne Hathaway. It's a rusty version but well worth a look if you haven't seen it.



Many thanks to IHJ for these wonderful pictures - there are lots more there.

[Updated] Jake Gyllenhaal to present two Oscars with Amy Adams (and gets a haircut)

Yesterday (25 February) Jake Gyllenhaal was seen leaving a salon in LA. So, with the Oscars just a day away, Jake can now cross 'get a haircut' off his To Do List. We now know that Jake will be presenting two Oscars. According to Deadline, Jake and Amy Adams will 'present the Best Documentary Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Film Oscars' somewhere between Anne Hathaway's second and third costume change. I'm hoping to be livestreaming the red carpet for the Oscars here on WDW tomorrow night.
