Slade talks about Eclipse, Kristen Stewart stills

Kristen Stewart, William Hurt and Eddie Redmayne in "The Yellow Handkerchief" (2008).James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart in "Welcome to the Rileys" (2010).Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart in "The Runaways" (2010).

"Slade announced that the post-production team was working on reviewing the wolves, saying they are "looking better & better." Slade also stated that the Eclipse team is near to attaining a composer for the film and that the focus of the movie is upon the literal love triangle that exists between Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner).
Edward seems to be a really strong presence, the intensity of the love story & rivalry between Jacob is in the driving seat.
Jacob & Bella are matching with intensity, & it's all even with the action sequences. Right now we are in a great state of balance.So far, so good then? As many of you have pointed out, the Eclipse story is action-oriented, yes, but its primary focus (and, hopefully, the primary emphasis of the film) is upon the love story that exists between these three".

"Zodiac": searching for a killer, banalization of terror, #5 Best Movies Naughties list

Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) shows a defeated smile in "Zodiac" (2007).

5. Zodiac (2007): David Fincher’s film about the search for the Zodiac killer takes its time, which is maybe why it has never received its due from those who didn’t see it in a single sitting at the theater. As the killer is never caught and the decades drag on, the film ultimately becomes largely about the tedium of obsession, something which is lost watching this on cable or in increments on DVD. You’ll never listen to Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man” again.
John Carroll Lynch is incredibly creepy as the most likely Zodiac suspect, the “banality of evil” personified". Source: thehollywoodinterview.blogspot.com

"Zodiac might have looked like a movie that keeps putting its emphases in the wrong place, instead of communicating as strongly and counter-intuitively as it does that this really is a movie about bottomless bureaucracy (which isn't the same as soullessness, because the production design keeps humanizing the space and individualizing the work stations) and about the dispersal and banalization of terror, as the papers and the flowcharts and the manila files and the guesswork pile up to Sisyphean proportions. The evocation of period comes easily to Burt, or at least he makes it seem so, and if he's refreshingly uninterested in turning the 70s into a joke, he's not without a sense of humor—or have you forgotten those electric-blue cocktails? Extra points for taking such care with more marginal locations like Elias Koteas' police station and the plant where the cops interview John Carroll Lynch and the house where Jake Gyllenhaal almost nabs a suspect (or is, himself, almost nabbed by a suspect)".

John Carroll Lynch also played Mr. Livingston, the affable father of Jimmy (Jake Gyllenhaal) in "Bubble Boy" (2001).

"Reese Witherspoon has apparently been a very good girl, because Santa Claus (aka Jake Gyllenhaal) is supposedly going to pop the question to his gal pal over the holidays, Naughty But Nice is exclusively reporting.Reese Witherspoon (Stella Kay in "Sweet Home Alabama" shows proud her engagement ring to Jean Smart).

Reese Ringing in Christmas With Bling?

Insiders tell me that the small ribbon-wrapped box under Reese Witherspoon's Christmas tree is bearing a big, fat diamond ring. "Jake is planning to pop the question over the holidays and couldn't be more excited," my friend -- who gave me the exclusive scoop two years ago that the couple were dating -- tells me.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon out for a stroll in Venice, CA, on 30th August 2009.

Just days after a false rumor circulated that the cute couple had split, Jake apparently decided the time was right to settle down and buy the ring. "Her children love him, his family loves her and now it's time to make it official," my source says.
"Reese is a traditional sort of lady, which is one of the many things Jake adores about her, and Christmas is her favorite holiday."Let's hope she says yes to becoming Mrs. Reese Gyllenhaal ... we think it has a nice ring to it!

"Despite PopEater’s report of a looming engagement, a source close to the couple told Access Hollywood that this report is “not true.” When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for Jake was not immediately available for comment". Source: www.accesshollywood.com

"Zodiac" #14 Best movie of the decade

Jake Gyllenhaal as the obsessive cartoonist Robert Graysmith in "Zodiac" (2007), directed by David Fincher.

"David Fincher’s true crime masterpiece about a serial killer that terrorized Northern California throughout the late 60’s and early 70’s may very well be one of the best police procedural dramas of all time. Film Junk’s Best of the Decade #14: Zodiac.
Starring an incredible ensemble cast of Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Edwards, Jake Gyllenhaal and Chloe Sevigny, Fincher puts forth a film of immaculate detail and an endless investigation that became an obsession of many of San Francisco’s media and law enforcement members.As the killer collects more victims, James Vanderbilt’s screenplay becomes that much more riveting. Fincher films some death scenes that are gut-wrenching to watch and it all builds up to an ending that is both satisfying and unsatisfying at the same time.
Jake Gyllenhaal and David Fincher in The San Francisco Chronicle (DVD Extra) from Zodiac: The Director's Cut (2008).

After a career of Se7en, Fight Club, The Game and Panic Room, David Fincher knows suspense and if you’re a fan of any of these then Zodiac belongs on your must-see list. Check out previous Top 20 Films of the ’00s".
