"On the massive Montreal set, star Gyllenhaal, late of such very non-actiony films as ''Donnie Darko'' and ''The Good Girl,'' gets his cheeks pinked and bangs frosted, then begins an odd chase scene around the freighter, as he flees from...nothing -- the wolves will be added later. After a few takes, Emmerich remarks to his young actor that he's terribly fleet of foot. Gyllenhaal grins beneath frosty eyebrows and replies in perfect movie trailerese, ''Faster's better: Bigger...faster...funnier!'' Source: www.ew.com

"Day After Tomorrow, The: Politically charged and somewhat poorly executed 2004 disaster movie, starring Randy Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal, exposing the potentially apocalyptic effects of global warming, albeit in a scientifically implausible form. In green-tech slang, the title has become a synonym for "worst-case scenario." Notable for laughably ironic scene of hordes of illegal U.S. immigrants storming the border into Mexico to escape extreme weather in the north". Source: www.cnet.com

On the set of "Brothers"

"Everyone who expects a love triangle or two brothers fighting for a woman will be disappointed. I for one am happy with this - I don´t want a typical Hollywood film.

IMO the three main roles have nearly equal screen time - perhaps Natalie a little less than the two guys.
"Actually all the awards prediction sites have Jake as leading and Tobey as supporting.

If the script is correct and they have not changed it it will be:

Jake - Tommy (Thomas) Cahill
Tobey - Sam Cahill
Natalie - Grace Cahill

During the scenes where Sam is probably dead they alternate between the family dealing with Sams "death" and him being a prisoner of the Taliban and what happens there.

IMO Tommy is a great opportunity for Jake - I really hope he will be able to disappear in this character and we will see him in another challenging role".Source: iheartjake.suddenlaunch.comDavid Benioff & Amanda Peet.
"While the title of this interview might seem a bit like hyperbole, ComingSoon.net has talked to many screenwriters in our time, and true, many of them are pretty cool--Juno's Diablo Cody is the latest upstart contender to receive the honorary title--but none of them have quite the credentials that David Benioff has that makes him so cool.

For your consideration, we shall list some of the reasons why we think he's cool:

* Although he may be the coolest writer in Hollywood, he's actually a New Yorker born and raised, and he still spends a lot of time in the city that never sleeps.

* His first screenplay was an adaptation of his first novel, which turned into Spike Lee's The 25th Hour, one of the few films that epitomizes what it was like being a New Yorker right after 9/11.

* He wrote the initial draft for the upcoming prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and he's a long-time comic book fan himself.

* He adapted Susanne Bier's wartime drama Brothers into an English language film starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire and directed by Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan (In America)

* He's working on a screenplay for a Kurt Cobain biopic!

Sensitive issues

"Maggie Gyllenhaal has hit out at the media for their reporting tactics after the death of fellow actor Heath Ledger - branding the industry "disrespectful".

The Secretary star blasted journalists for their style of reporting after the tragic death of the Australian actor, insisting she was "shocked" by the way they tackled the sensitive issue.

Gyllenhaal starred opposite Ledger in his final full film, The Dark Knight, in which he stars as Batman's nemesis, The Joker.

And the actress - whose brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, featured alongside Ledger in 2005's Brokeback Mountain - reveals her co-star and friend's untimely death has taken its toll on her.

She tells Britain's Empire magazine, "It's hard to talk about how it's (Ledger's death) affected me personally. It's been really hard for me."

"(And) the media has shocked me with the way that they've been disrespectful in some ways."
