The Prince of Persia cut the mustard

*We saw some brief clips and animatics from Mike Newell’s upcoming Prince of Persia, which looked really strong and could be the movie to break the curse of the videogame adaptation. Jake Gyllenhaal, in the title role, is really buffed up, and we saw a couple of cool but brief swordfight sequences which proved he could cut the mustard as an action hero. Gemma Arterton looked stunning, and we also saw some really interesting concept art of the bad guys, some of whom can shoot snakes at people. We also got a brief animatic look at the way Gyllenhaal's character can pause time. This looks like it could be a very nice surprise. * Cars 2 has been moved ahead by a year and will see Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater (Larry The Cable Guy) travel the world. In the meantime they are producing a series of short cartoons - "Cars Toons" as John Lasseter put it - called Mater's Tall Tales. We saw the first one, in which Mater makes out he was a fire truck and a doctor back in the day. Later ones will see him as a Stuntman and a Bullfighter. They will premiere on the Disney Channel".

The Graduate's legacy

"If Michael Cera has a predecessor, it's Dustin Hoffman.Mr. Hoffman burst onto the scene out of nowhere 40 years ago with a striking performance in "The Graduate." Opposite Anne Bancroft, Mr. Hoffman took a role written for a waspy overachiever and imbued it with a mumbling nebbishness; his body language and verbal insecurity were in striking contrast to the typical leading man of the day.
Mr. Cera is a similarly unlikely leading man. Although he has an undeniable boyish charm, one would never confuse him for Paul Newman or Tom Cruise.
But like Dustin Hoffman before him, Michael Cera has tapped into a very real current within the American consciousness.
By choosing his projects wisely, Mr. Cera has developed broad appeal with both hipster tastemakers and the general public alike. His star turns could signal the beginning of a new era of comedy, one in which irony is out and sincerity is in. Perhaps Mr. Cera (and the sincerity he represents) is a sign of the times. Just as "The Graduate" struck a chord with baby boomers because of their shared rejection of the Greatest Generation's values, snark-laden irony might be a mind-set few can afford to indulge in a time of collapsing prosperity. Maybe we all feel a little more comfortable cheering for someone who means what he says". Source: www.washingtontimes.com

Birthday hang-over pics

Jake is back for my birthday!

Jake, on 3rd October, at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

I'm so happy of a new sight of Jake shooting, I consider this re-appearance as a birthday gift, because, yes, weirdos, today's my 34th birthday!

Reading below, let's see how Jake continues to be so desired by ardent blogger females worldwide:
"just to clarify, he texts his girly reese like every two seconds (mostly while the crew is setting up the next shot) and has his mobile hidden in his costume. she even flew down to morocco when they were filming there, so no, i'm not gonna have a secret rendez-vous with him. although the lovely gentleman who plays his brother, tobey kebbell...i mean DAY-UM! he totally knows i fancy him, and his makeup artist told me half-jokingly that i was invited back to his trailer after the day's shoot...i refrained this time, but come monday morning, he's mine, bitch".

Unrecognizable Jake - Persian look

"Jake Gyllenhaal has long hair for his part in the silly video game movie Prince of Persia. I wonder what Reese thinks of it. I wonder what Lance thinks of it. Crabbie like". Source: crabbieshollywood.blogspot.com

Kendra doesn't like it so much, I usually prefer short hair for men, but is this really Jake? His look seems dramatically changed, as if it was caused by a Persian syndrome.
