Q: You both delivered fantastic performances, and obviously this wasn't a big budget film where you can spend a lot of time doing a lot of stuff. How did you prepare for the roles versus others?

Dakota: Well, obviously there was the singing that I had to prepare for, which was kind of a daunting task, but something that I think adds to the movie… I actually did it and it wasn't just her voice, you know? So, yeah, to make it just like her was kind of intimidating.

Kristen: We had to make sure that we looked right and moved right. When they were younger, they had such specific idiosyncrasies…they're riddled with little particular details…they're just really cool to look at. But preparing for a movie is always…there's a bigger responsibility here because it's not just somebody that you're making up. Source: www.fandango.com

Leiana has released a brand new cover of the Lita Ford classic "Kiss Me Deadly" online at www.myspace.com/leiana. The track features guitarist Rob Caggiano (Anthrax) and John Tempesta (The Cult, White Zombie) on drums."I've always been a huge Runaways fan so I decided to record ‘Kiss Me Deadly’ as a tribute to them,” commented Leiana. “Even though Kiss Me Deadly is a Lita Ford track, I felt as though it fit my sound a little more than a Runaways track. I can't wait to see the film and I think Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart are going to do great jobs portraying Joan Jett and Cherrie Currie".
Leiana's “Lucky #3” captures the alt-rock energy of her stage show and melds it with infectious hooks that leave listeners thirsty for more".

"Prince of Persia" Preview, Jordan Mechner interview

Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal in "New York Times" (7th Annual Great Performers In Film).

Jerry Bruckheimer and Jake Gyllenhaal on set of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" (2010).

"Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films have blockbuster-style plans for the property... but can they pull it off? Well, here's what we know thus far.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton in TOTAL FILM (UK)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has a great looking cast, led by Jake Gyllenhaal, and a charismatic director with blockbuster chops in the form of Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).

Prince of Persia aims squarely for family fare territory, but with a heavy dose of peril. It'll be rated PG-13 -- the MPAA has cited "intense sequences of violence and action" in their rating -- so expect the level of those things to be on par with what you saw in Pirates. Is that a good thing? We think so.
Set in the mystical lands of Persia, the film follows a rogue prince named Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) who reluctantly joins forces with mysterious Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton), and together they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time -- a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world". Source: movies.ign.com

(Screen Play) Why do you think Sands of Time was suitable for adaption to film?
Not every successful video game should become a movie. Prince of Persia has a very relatable, human story, and it's built around a kind of physical action that translates really well to the screen. Plus there's a dagger that can turn back time. The world of the 1001 Nights is a really fascinating and evocative period, and it's been decades since anyone's done a big, state-of-the-art, live-action film set in that world. The hero is (also) a very sympathetic, relatable human character and he’s a bit of an underdog. There’s a love story, a beautiful princess, a scheming villain, and it’s really an old-fashioned adventure story.
New publicity sitll of Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time".

(Other journalist) Is Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal how you imaged Dastan would be in the real world?

I think Jake makes a great Prince Dastan - he looks a lot like the character in the Sands of Time video game, but also he has a lot of qualities that for me have always been part of who the Prince of Persia is. He’s a warrior - he does incredible stunts, and parkour, and fighting and so forth. But he also has a mischievous streak, an attitude, and I think a vulnerability that’s a part of the characters appeal". Source: blogs.smh.com.au

Jake Gyllenhaal in Vampire Weekend video

"Giving Up the Gun" is (arguably) the best song from Vampire Weekend's superb Contra, and the track's music video has the potential to boost it even further. According to an Anthem interview with the clip's co-director, Emmett Malloy, it revolves around a "bizarre-o tennis match" featuring RZA, Jake Gyllenhaal, VW lyrical touchstone Lil Jon, and Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. (Kevin Jonas wasn't available, apparently.)
Talking about the video, Malloy-- who directed the White Stripes documentary Under Great White Northern Lights-- said: "We lit shit on fire. We had RZA presiding over the tennis match. Lil Jon came down to give some tennis tips.
Jake Gyllenhaal in "A Decade of Favorites" (The New York Times).

Jake Gyllenhaal drank himself out of the competition; Joe Jonas tried, but did not succeed. There was a lot of rigorous competition, pyrotechnics, and a little bit of milk to cap it all off."

The "Giving Up the Gun" video is set to premiere UPDATE: The video will premiere tomorrow on Spinner.com.

“Tron Legacy” stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde talk with Access about how exciting it is to be a part of this film and the technology used for the movie.
"Tron Legacy" is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

The Yellow Handkerchief New TV Spot starring Kristen Stewart, William Hurt and Eddie Redmayne.


Elizabeth Snead chatted with Kristen Stewart about her new film, "The Yellow Handkerchief," at the Four Seasons in LA. And with her was her costar Eddie Redmayne. Who apparently, kisses better than Robert Pattinson.

"Gordie", she replied quickly. Eddie challenged her, laughing and adding, "You said the right thing. If Rob were sitting there, would you have said that?" "Absolutely," Kristen replied.

Wow. Since Bella and Edward's kiss won Best Liplock at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, Gordie's kiss must really be something.
Kristen also revealed her feelings about those 'Breaking Dawn" rumors about making the book into two movies and adding a 3D element.

"The story definitely warrants two films," she notes. "I'm sort of not supposed to have a feeling about this. I mean, to be honest, we're definitely making the movie. Who knows how many and who knows if it will be in 3D. Hopefully, we're gonna start doing that soon. I'm like pretty eager to get back to it. November, hopefully". Source: blog.zap2it.com
