"Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split, a source close to the actress tells People. No further details were given. Witherspoon, 33, and Gyllenhaal, 28, costarred in the 2007 movie Rendition, after which rumors started flying about them as an off-screen couple. By the summer of 2008, however, the rumors appeared to be confirmed, thanks, in part, to an extended Bastille Day holiday in Paris - followed, the next month, when they were seen in Marrakech, spending a Saturday strolling hand-in-hand, checking out bazaar stalls, before stepping into the shade for lunch, according to reports".

"Gyllenhaal, who plays a grown up juvenile delinquent in the film, spent time with convicted drug smugglers and murderers in an effort to determine what life behind bars for a teenager is like - and he admits the experience has changed his life forever. One such teen, Victor, made such an impact on Gyllenhaal and director Jim Sheridan, they cast him in the film.
The actor explains, "This kid Victor was in jail and he was released and had the opportunity to change his life and told us stories that were unreal to me.
"He was hiding meth in the back of a lamp of a four wheel vehicle driving over the border and he was 16. He changed his life and is working for the governor's office in Sacramento now.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Tommy Cahill is the feisty younger brother, a drifter who has just got out of jail and hits on Grace (Natalie Portman) in Jim Sheridan's drama "Brothers".
"Brothers" - The Truth videoclip, featuring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman.
"Where the movie lives and dies is in the relationship between the two brothers" says Sheridan, who says Maguire and Gyllenhaal deliver in roles that are more grown-up than what they customarily play.
To look convincing as a prisoner of war, Maguire dropped 25 pounds from his already thin frame."He is a vegan, so as far as I am concerned he doesn't eat anyway. He ate less vegan," said Sheridan, who worries about Maguire's extreme diet having a long-term effect.
As an actor "Tobey likes to control a lot. That is the way he lives. He has a cook that cooks for him. His world is very controlled. Even when acting, he is not the kind of guy who would get loose. He's quiet and pensive and thinking about things." By contrast, Gyllenhaal is a "free-wheeling actor. He is always looking around. He has three or four things going through his head, and normal stars just have one."
It would mean trouble, Sheridan believes, if a director told Gyllenhaal to just stand there and hit his mark. "The way he lives in a scene is to be half there and half out there looking around. I found it completely fascinating." Source: www.sfgate.com
Natalie Portman visiting David Letterman Nov 25 2009.
"Portman is the eye in the hurricane of Brothers, a love-triangle family drama set against - and ignited by - the war in Afghanistan. Director Jim Sheridan's recasting of the 2004 Danish film Brodre for a U.S. context, it bristles with American trauma. Anger and guilt sizzle in every direction - brother-brother, soldier-soldier, father-son and, of course, wife-husband. As Grace Cahill, Portman begins falling for Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), the younger brother of her Marine husband, Sam (Tobey Maguire), who goes missing in Afghanistan but returns from the dead.
Inescapably, Afghanistan is the homewrecker here, but Portman resists casting Brothers as an anti-war - or even war - film.
``I don't think so. And I don't think it really has a political message. It's much more of a family film - and in a way your nation is your family, so it could lead to larger things if you wanted to take it there. But it's not overt.''``(The war) is really interesting, because we are so shielded from it. We've been in this war like, approaching 10 years, and it's so abstract and distant from many of us, but for the people who are engaged, it's so all-consuming in their lives. A terrifying daily reality.''

For all of Maguire's visceral and disturbing Afghanistan scenes, the terrifying realities of bedroom and kitchen are the heart of the film. As Sheridan will say later in the day in his Dublin accent, ``all of my films are about puttin' the family back together.'' With a boozy, bitter military father (Sam Shepard) who torments Tommy, who himself begins to usurp the role of unravelling scion Sam, this family needs some puttin'.
BROTHERS Premiere with Natalie Portman.
"Yeah, it was uncomfortable',' Portman says, "and it was largely improvised and figured out on the day. That's Jim's mastery, that he can create that in the room.''The tension ratchets up as conversation falls silent, and the camera switches between dad Sam's banked rage and the balloon his daughter is rubbing. ``That was really great, because that balloon was almost like a soundtrack, it almost served as foreshadowing music in a tense dramatic scene, like the Jaws dant-dant dant-dant!''Sheridan will also say: ``There were a few girls interested in the role, but I thought Natalie was the best.''Which is interesting. Grace is an orphaned blue-collar military housewife who chose the safety of a rigidly disciplined husband despite the fault-lines running through him and his family. By the time Maguire goes Travis Bickle in his kitchen, we've realized these characters must be torn apart to be reassembled.And the non-damage extends to the family unit. In an era when Hollywood moms, dads and kids vie for best celeb perp-walk, Portman hasn't the faintest whiff of scandal or ugliness in her backstory. She remains very close to her parents. She's no Grace Cahill.``There's actually a line Sam Shepard says in the film', Portman says: `Every family has its own problems.' And everyone has those moments, and you see glimpses of everything, even when (your family's) healthy, you have the explosions and arguments and tensions. Also, you can glean so much from people you talk to, whether they're friends or people you talk to for research.''
And after all, ``obviously most people don't experience in life what they experience in a film - I mean, you play a serial killer I've never understood how a method actor would do that (laughs)''.
Point taken. ``As actors, imagining other people's lives is our job''. So she researched the role by speaking to, she says: ``wives of marines who were sent abroad. They were always saying that the home is your sort of front, and you have to make sure everything is going smoothly. And when your husband calls you (from the war), no matter how much the kids are acting up, no matter what - bill paying or problems at work - `Everything's fine'.
``You have to tell your husband everything's fine. Because in order to go do their job, they have to know that you're doing yours. Because you're just going to upset them and make them feel helpless. Keeping everything together is the spouse at home's job.''Jake Gyllenhaal is shirker Tommy Cahill in "Brothers".
The film is ultimately about re-entry, about aftermath, about coming home from war to find the war got there first. And playing the woman between two feuding brothers, perhaps this actress best knew what peace on the homefront should look like". Source: www.canada.com
