Robert Pattinson talks of Jacob: “Very ethical and loyal, a really good man.”

Pattison said the production: “felt like it was kind of magical in many ways, because we were out in the desert shooting. There was nothing from the modern world around. It was a different experience for me. It wasn’t in a studio or anything.”

Jake Gyllenhaal in 'Man vs. Wild', visits the Laundromat Café in Reykjavík

"American actor Jake Gyllenhaal spent last weekend at the site of last year’s volcanic eruptions, Eyjafjallajökull glacier and Fimmvörduháls mountain range, in fierce weather to shoot an episode for the survival television series Man vs. Wild, hosted by English adventurer Bear Grylls on the Discovery Channel and Channel 4.

He is not the only film star who has starred in Man vs. Wild; it has also featured the survival strategies of US actors Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell, Fréttabladid reports.

"We can confirm that we were with Gyllenhaal and Grylls but I’d rather not comment any further on the story", said Thór Kjartansson at the Icelandic production company True North which assisted the show’s crew on the glacier. “But they definitely got the wildest and best of Icelandic nature,” he added.
Before heading out for the wild, Gyllenhaal dropped by the store 66°North on Bankastraeti and the Laundromat Café on Austurstraeti in Reykjavík.

“He came here twice, on Friday night and Saturday and was totally relaxed,” commented Steinn Einar at Laundromat. Apparently, the actor wasn’t anxious about the experience that awaited him on the glacier". Source: www.icelandreview.com

Love & Other Drugs Blu-ray Review - Jake Gyllenhaal Describes His Perfect First Date

"Gyllenhaal is Jamie Randall, the privileged son of a doctor (George Segal) who’s made a life for himself as a salesman. When opportunity rises he joins up with the medical community, pimping Zoloft over Prozac, and he works with Platt’s Bruce Winston – who just wants to get transferred to Chicago, and sees Jamie as his golden ticket. Jamie finds it hard to get into the medical community, though has no problem sleeping with receptionists (played by the likes of Judy Greer). But while trying to hawk drugs he meets Dr. Stan Knight (Hank Azaria) and asks to be his intern where he meets-cute Maggie Murdock (Hathaway), who begins the film by taking her boob out.
Twentieth Century Fox presents the film in widescreen (1.78:1) and in DTS-HD 5.1 Surround. The film also comes with a digital copy. Extras include three deleted scenes (8 min.), and a number of featurettes. The first is “Love and Other Drugs: An Actor’s Discussion” (8min.) with heavy Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway participation, which is followed “Beautifully complex: Anne Hathaway as Maggie” (3 min.) that has Anne offer her thoughts on the role, and “Reformed Womanizer: Jake Gyllenhaal on Jamie” (4 min.) that has Jake ruminate on his character. “Selling Love and Other Drugs”(3 min.) focuses on the drug sales in the film, and the disc closes out with the film’s theatrical trailer, and bonus trailers".

I would just love to be outside ... and then cook whatever is there, whatever is fresh, whatever is good. Figure it out. Gotta improvise." Source: www.aceshowbiz.com

Jake Gyllenhaal & Michelle Monaghan in US Weekly, Duncan Jones interview

"Duncan Jones says, he would like to direct his father in a movie, "and I'll know the moment is right when everyone stops asking about David Bowie being my father".

Was his dad as outrageous at home as he could be on stage?
"Of course not. He was a lovely guy and voracious reader. Part of what got me into science fiction was the literature Dad introduced me to. He insisted on discipline and wanted me to read an hour or two every night. I remember at nine or 10 reading Animal Farm and The Day of the Triffids and later on Philip K. Dick." As a boy, Jones made 8mm stop-motion films using his Smurfs and Star Wars figures. Growing up, his interests changed to "football and girls, but I wasn't a wild child like the other children of that generation of wild parents. I was the quiet one."

Source Code - Jake Gyllenhaal Interview


Source Code - Vera Farmiga on Duncan Jones

"Source Code": Jake Gyllenhaal's Colter Stevens, heroic or dark in the end?

“So Colter Stevens, at the end of the film, begs Goodwin to let him take one more shot at sorting out this disaster on the train, stopping the bomb from going off. So he gets sent, he gets on the train, in what he discovers to be a parallel reality, stops the bomb going off, which means Sean Fentress is now dead although he shouldn’t be… Colter has basically forfeited Sean Fentress’ life just so he, Colter Stevens, can have a happy ending. I like that, because immediately although we have a happy ending, it’s ethically a little bit more ambiguous.

And Singer has some issue with this ethically ambiguous ending, not because it’s ethically ambiguous but because it’s hard to tell without these interviews with Jones that he intended such a dark concept. As it plays, he says in his original review, this “darker angle” is “kind of ignored,” while it still “suggests Stevens’ behavior isn’t quite as heroic as it’s made out to be.”Jake Gyllenhaal attending the Premiere Of Summit Entertainment's "Source Code", on 28th March 2011

In his follow-up last week, he details the spoiler more clearly, calling Jake Gyllenhaal’s character a “murderer” but one the film “doesn’t announce…very loudly.” He ponders this cloudiness:
So what’s more important: the director’s intent or the evidence on the screen? Jones wants those questions about Stevens’ actions to be present, but are they present enough? I’m not saying we need a shot of Stevens looking at Cloud Gate and crying “Oh no! What have I done?” But a little bit of a clue, in the editing or the music, could have made a big difference to the way we feel after the film is over.
Ultimately, though, Singer sees the work the viewer must do in the end as positive and fitting to the way Stevens’ mission turns out. Go read the final paragraph of his post for what he sees as a rewarding effort". Source: blogsindiewire.com

Still of Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell in "Moon" (2009)

-You’ve had strong leads in both of your films, first with Sam Rockwell who played three different characters in the film and now with Jake Gyllenhaal. What was it like working with him on Source Code?
-As far as I’m concerned what makes Jake such an interesting actor is that he will really go out of his way and try to experiment. Actors work so hard to come up with what it is they want to do with a role and how they want to be seen. As a director I want to let my actors do that and then suggest alternate ways to do it as well. Thing about Jake is that he tries everything. Because of this, we were able to take a more dower, serious story and inject more humor into it. This took the script in a different direction while we were making it, thanks to Jake’s willingness to experiment. Source: www.blackbookmag.com

"When we start measuring women on their appearance … We’re just too hard on each other. Women need to be more supportive of each other, stop tearing each other apart. There’s plenty of room for all of us. There’s plenty of men for all of us. There’s plenty of jobs. There’s plenty of room! I really believe it. Another actress out there has a number-one movie? They’re going to make more movies about women. A female writer sells a script? They’re going to look at another script from another woman. The better one woman does, the better all women do."
