Jake Gyllenhaal wants a family of his own and admires Spencer Tracy

"Jake’s character Jamie Randall is a womanizing pharmaceutical sales rep who falls for Anne’s feisty, free-spirit Maggie. In addition to being the most attractive people to ever occupy a converted Pittsburgh loft at one time, the couple goes on a journey of discovery together culminating in the realization that, perhaps, love is the ultimate drug. I’m sure there are some creative writing majors at Berkley who would disagree.

The movie is a pretty interesting look into the state of the health care industry in the late ’90s and centers around the introduction of Viagra, a drug you may have heard of, as well as the relationship between doctors and pharmaceutical companies at the time. Who knew pharmaceutical sales was so competitive?? Gyllenhall’s character is basically the Nomi Malone of the Ohio River Valley.

I sat down with the pair last week and grilled them on nude scenes, real estate porn, and their thoughts on the recent judge removals in Iowa". -Posted on November 18th, 2010 by Will Pulos in Source: www.newsnownext.com

Jake Gyllenhaal in USA Weekend magazine - November 2010

'Children are really where it's at,' Gyllenhaal told USA Weekend magazine. 'That's what I feel turning 30, more than I ever did.'
He admits seeing sister Maggie with her 4-year-old daughter, Ramona, has increased those feelings. 'It's incredible to see the traits she has,' he says of his niece. 'She mimics things that my sister or my brother-in-law do, and it makes me laugh. I just adore her.'As for how he plans to celebrate his upcoming milestone birthday, Gyllenhaal has an unusual twist on that, too. 'I'd love to go swimming with the walruses and the whales in the freezing cold water', he says. 'Seems like it could be a rite of passage.' Source: www.monstersandcritics.com

Jake Gyllenhaal - USA Weekend Magazine: Session #2

-Most people think about settling down, having kids, that sort of thing when they turn 30. How do you feel?

-When you’re in your 20s, you’re feeling your way. But you know what, I meet some 20 year olds and I think they’re highly intelligent and wise, and I’ve met 70-year-olds who are not as wise as them. So I don’t really know. [Laughs] I feel really excited about it. I don’t feel pressure. I think I felt more pressure when I was younger. I feel approaching 30 has given me the permission to feel freer than I ever have. So that need to do whatever the convention tells you to, I feel I’ve cast it off more. I know people say, “OK, now’s the time to do this, now’s the time for that, to get married and have kids.

I certainly want a family of my own, but just because I’m turning 30 doesn’t mean I’m going to do it. Particularly when I talk to my 95-year-old aunt. She’s aware and awake and alive. I do feel that time, but it just makes me love my family and want to be with my family more and spend time with the children I know.

You mentioned Spencer Tracy before, and you have joined the likes of him in the annals of Hollywood’s leading men. Yeah. Me and Spencer Tracy. “Listen, sweetheart…” If only I had a hat, it would be perfect. [Laughs]
Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in "Woman of the Year" (1942)

-Do you enjoy being a part of that history?
-There have been a lot of people besides Spencer Tracy that have been a part of that history, good and bad. Yeah, I do feel honored to be a part of that. You look at those movies between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, you look at certain scenes, and they could be today. You could be watching it and just flip it to black and white. There’s something about them that’s absolutely extraordinary. To be a part of making movies, if I’m going to steal my way into that somehow and say I’m a part of that, it’s great. It might be the Dark Ages for that history, but I’m still a part of the history! [Laughs] Source: whosnews.usaweekend.com



Love and Other Drugs, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway


Source Code Official Trailer 2 HD, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan

"And just as quietly as he made ‘Moon’ Duncan took up the directorial role for ‘Source Code’, a science fiction thriller written by Billy Ray and Ben Ripley, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vira Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan and Jeffrey Wright (great actor). Ray wrote the disaster film ‘Volcano,’ which starred Tommy Lee Jones, but also wrote the very good ‘Shattered Glass,’ which looked at the fabricated journalism of “The New Republic” staff writer Stephen Glass. ’Source Code’ was based on a screenplay by Ben Ripley, who gave us ‘Species 3′ and ‘Species: The Awakening.’ Not the greatest credentials, but it seems that this is Ripley’s baby instead of a hired gun job.

Should be interesting to see how this film turns out based on the hit-or-miss record of the writers. Duncan’s definitely a very talented filmmaker, and it’s hard to imagine Gyllenhaal and Wright throwing themselves into a bad story–so the script must be pretty good.

Michelle Monaghan attending AFI FEST 2010 OPENING NIGHT GALA SCREENING OF "LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS" (11-04-2010)

‘Source Code’ follows the story of an ex-soldier who volunteers for an experimental military program that drops him into the last eight minutes of a man’s life in order to investigate a terrorist attack on a Chicago commuter train. Gyllenhaal’s character does this again and again, trying to see the event from every angle, while falling for a girl (played by Monaghan), who seems to be hiding something. The script definitely has some echoes of Gilliam’s ’12 Monkeys,’ but with Jones directing, this should be seen as a good thing.
Methinks someone else on the train is in possession of similar experimental technology, and is, in turn, spying on Gyllenhaal’s character–but maybe I’m widely off base". Source: www.deathandtaxesmag.com


Michelle Monaghan: Due Date Interview

Michelle Monaghan Covers 'Women's Health' December 2010

"On turning exercise into social activity: "Going on a hike with a friend or my husband works for me because it doesn't feel like exercise. You're catching up or having a gossip session and time goes by quickly."
Malin Akerman and Michelle Monaghan attending "Heartbreak Kid" Los Angeles Premiere (09/27/2007)

On eating sensibly: "I've never been on a diet. I don't think they make sense. Ultimately, it's eating sensibly . . . but if I'm at a restaurant, all bets are off!"

On eating healthier because of her daughter: "For the first time, I thought about my well-being. Now I’m trying to instill healthy eating habits in my daughter, so by default my
husband and I are eating healthier."
On getting into shape fast: "Typically when I'm working I don't work out at all. That's why it is important for me to get in shape in-between jobs. When I'm getting ready to start a movie and I have to get into shape fast, I concentrate on doing weights as opposed to cardiovascular fitness . . . I don't really tweak my diet as much, I just try to eat sensibly." Source: www.fitsugar.com
