"A source said: "Jake invited her to New York for Thanksgiving. It wasn't planned in advance, but she said, 'Why not? I can do it, and I'm going.' Her parents weren't thrilled, but she explained to them that she gets to see them all the time and wasn't able to spend much time with Jake during the publicity madness. "She loves his family and he loves hers." The source told Us Weekly magazine: "There was no diva behavior. She pitched in to cook and to clear the dishes. She also seemed very interested in the family and asked them a lot of questions about themselves." Source: www.exposay.com

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jamie Randall (the womanizing Viagra hard-seller in Love & other drugs)
"Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a slacker electronics salesman who somehow manages to hook a gig selling pharmaceuticals for Pfizer. Despite his womanizing charm, he is unable to break through on the Prozac vs. Zoloft war. In the midst of his very humorous pill-pushing rep moments, however, he finds some humanity after meeting Maggie Murdock (Hathaway), a Parkinson’s patient he encounters while bribing a doctor to act as an intern and help move his product.Don’t ask how this concept works, but suffice to say you believe in the payoffs and exchanges between the reps and the doctors. You may find yourself wondering if the film couldn’t have been split in two, so we could cover the romance as well as the finesse the nuances of the pharmaceutical industry, but never mind. At any rate, Randall’s slick womanizing attitude is very much neutralized by Hathaway’s oddly aloof and extremely detached persona. Knowing her illness, she wants to make permanent connections, a perfect companion for Jamie. Will the casual sex between these two oddly-matched characters, morph into something more? Will Jamie realize he has a soul, after all? Will Maggie show definitive signs of degeneration with her illness, attempting to plug away at your heart strings? While the script has plenty witty dialogue to fuel the film, it is really the performances that bring “Love and Other Drugs” to a rise. We get some good laughs from always solid side-liner Oliver Platt as Jamie’s partner; from Hank Azaria as a Viagra-addicted doctor that helps lift Jamie’s career; and perhaps most of all from Josh Gad as Jamie’s brother Josh, a multi-millionaire younger brother with marriage problems, and just problems in general. But this is after all, a romance, and the leads are the life or death of the picture. Fortunately, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have more than enough. After working together on 2005’s Best Picture nominee “Brokeback Mountain”, the two are at obvious ease with one another. If chemistry is crucial for a romantic comedy these two had it in spades walking onto the set. Gyllenhaal works his part perfectly as a somewhat sleazy salesman that slowly begins to look beyond himself. Hathaway, however, is the real star here and perhaps gives her best performance to date playing a character with a debilitating disease. Zwick’s script allows Hathaway to show the extreme fear of having Parkinson’s, without going too far in the sappy end of the drama tree. With “Love and Other Drugs”, Zwick is very much like Jamie’s pharmaceutical rep: He’s selling us on something we may not need, but is slick enough in his sales approach to have us buying into his shifting and mood-altering script".

"The relationship between Gyllenhaal and Hathaway is outstanding, which is no surprise considering their past work in Brokeback Mountain. The two actors are very comfortable together onscreen, making the numerous nude and love scenes very easy going and not awkward to watch, like so many romantic comedies.Jake Gyllenhaal and Oliver Platt, dancing to tune of Viagra
Love & Other Drugs is a fantastic film. The plot is perfect, the actors are amazing, every word of dialogue hits the spot, every thrust has purpose, and every Viagra joke sends the audience into a fit of laughter. If vulgarity and nudity isn’t in your field of interest for a movie, this probably isn’t for you. To everyone else, please go to this film, whether on a date or with a friend. Everyone knows someone affected by an illness, and this film will warm your heart as the characters come to grips with the struggles they, and those around them, face everyday. It is truly remarkable and a must see. Plus, who doesn’t love penis jokes?" Source: www.themuse.com
Olivia Wilde plays Quorra in "Tron: Legacy" (2010) directed by Joseph Kosinski
TRON: Legacy Soundtrack - KCRW's Jason Bentley with director Joseph Kosinski (part 1)
JB: What other ways did it affect the process, the execution, on set? Was it a matter of establishing a tempo, was it about an overall aesthetic, I mean, how did it inform the whole group? Joseph: Music has this ability to answer so many questions without having to say anything. I think with a movie like this it's very important to establish the exact right tone for the actors, even for the crew. So I always had my little sound station at my director's chair where I was just playing all the demos constantly in between setups. And it was cool, it just set the vibe and the crew just got a sense of this movie as we were making it. I think it affected the way people worked - I know Olivia Wilde one day came to me when we were shooting a scene and we were talking about this character Clu in this movie, who's a completely digital character who was really only completed in the last couple of months, asking questions about him, like – ‘I have to talk about him in this scene, but I've never seen this character because he doesn't exist yet’… and I said, well let me play you Clu's Theme, I just got a demo from Daft of the theme for him, and I played the theme and she listened and was like, I got it. Now I know why to be afraid of this guy. Source: www.kcrw.com
