Jake Gyllenhaal wants a family of his own and admires Spencer Tracy

"Jake’s character Jamie Randall is a womanizing pharmaceutical sales rep who falls for Anne’s feisty, free-spirit Maggie. In addition to being the most attractive people to ever occupy a converted Pittsburgh loft at one time, the couple goes on a journey of discovery together culminating in the realization that, perhaps, love is the ultimate drug. I’m sure there are some creative writing majors at Berkley who would disagree.

The movie is a pretty interesting look into the state of the health care industry in the late ’90s and centers around the introduction of Viagra, a drug you may have heard of, as well as the relationship between doctors and pharmaceutical companies at the time. Who knew pharmaceutical sales was so competitive?? Gyllenhall’s character is basically the Nomi Malone of the Ohio River Valley.

Jake Gyllenhaal in USA Weekend magazine - November 2010

'Children are really where it's at,' Gyllenhaal told USA Weekend magazine. 'That's what I feel turning 30, more than I ever did.'
He admits seeing sister Maggie with her 4-year-old daughter, Ramona, has increased those feelings. 'It's incredible to see the traits she has,' he says of his niece. 'She mimics things that my sister or my brother-in-law do, and it makes me laugh. I just adore her.'As for how he plans to celebrate his upcoming milestone birthday, Gyllenhaal has an unusual twist on that, too. 'I'd love to go swimming with the walruses and the whales in the freezing cold water', he says. 'Seems like it could be a rite of passage.' Source: www.monstersandcritics.com

Jake Gyllenhaal - USA Weekend Magazine: Session #2

-Most people think about settling down, having kids, that sort of thing when they turn 30. How do you feel?

-When you’re in your 20s, you’re feeling your way. But you know what, I meet some 20 year olds and I think they’re highly intelligent and wise, and I’ve met 70-year-olds who are not as wise as them. So I don’t really know. [Laughs] I feel really excited about it. I don’t feel pressure. I think I felt more pressure when I was younger. I feel approaching 30 has given me the permission to feel freer than I ever have. So that need to do whatever the convention tells you to, I feel I’ve cast it off more. I know people say, “OK, now’s the time to do this, now’s the time for that, to get married and have kids.

I certainly want a family of my own, but just because I’m turning 30 doesn’t mean I’m going to do it. Particularly when I talk to my 95-year-old aunt. She’s aware and awake and alive. I do feel that time, but it just makes me love my family and want to be with my family more and spend time with the children I know.

You mentioned Spencer Tracy before, and you have joined the likes of him in the annals of Hollywood’s leading men. Yeah. Me and Spencer Tracy. “Listen, sweetheart…” If only I had a hat, it would be perfect. [Laughs]
Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in "Woman of the Year" (1942)

-Do you enjoy being a part of that history?
-There have been a lot of people besides Spencer Tracy that have been a part of that history, good and bad. Yeah, I do feel honored to be a part of that. You look at those movies between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, you look at certain scenes, and they could be today. You could be watching it and just flip it to black and white. There’s something about them that’s absolutely extraordinary. To be a part of making movies, if I’m going to steal my way into that somehow and say I’m a part of that, it’s great. It might be the Dark Ages for that history, but I’m still a part of the history! [Laughs] Source: whosnews.usaweekend.com



Love and Other Drugs, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway


Source Code Official Trailer 2 HD, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan

"And just as quietly as he made ‘Moon’ Duncan took up the directorial role for ‘Source Code’, a science fiction thriller written by Billy Ray and Ben Ripley, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Vira Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan and Jeffrey Wright (great actor). Ray wrote the disaster film ‘Volcano,’ which starred Tommy Lee Jones, but also wrote the very good ‘Shattered Glass,’ which looked at the fabricated journalism of “The New Republic” staff writer Stephen Glass. ’Source Code’ was based on a screenplay by Ben Ripley, who gave us ‘Species 3′ and ‘Species: The Awakening.’ Not the greatest credentials, but it seems that this is Ripley’s baby instead of a hired gun job.

Should be interesting to see how this film turns out based on the hit-or-miss record of the writers. Duncan’s definitely a very talented filmmaker, and it’s hard to imagine Gyllenhaal and Wright throwing themselves into a bad story–so the script must be pretty good.

Michelle Monaghan attending AFI FEST 2010 OPENING NIGHT GALA SCREENING OF "LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS" (11-04-2010)

‘Source Code’ follows the story of an ex-soldier who volunteers for an experimental military program that drops him into the last eight minutes of a man’s life in order to investigate a terrorist attack on a Chicago commuter train. Gyllenhaal’s character does this again and again, trying to see the event from every angle, while falling for a girl (played by Monaghan), who seems to be hiding something. The script definitely has some echoes of Gilliam’s ’12 Monkeys,’ but with Jones directing, this should be seen as a good thing.
Methinks someone else on the train is in possession of similar experimental technology, and is, in turn, spying on Gyllenhaal’s character–but maybe I’m widely off base". Source: www.deathandtaxesmag.com

On eating sensibly: "I've never been on a diet. I don't think they make sense. Ultimately, it's eating sensibly . . . but if I'm at a restaurant, all bets are off!"

On eating healthier because of her daughter: "For the first time, I thought about my well-being. Now I’m trying to instill healthy eating habits in my daughter, so by default my
husband and I are eating healthier."
On getting into shape fast: "Typically when I'm working I don't work out at all. That's why it is important for me to get in shape in-between jobs. When I'm getting ready to start a movie and I have to get into shape fast, I concentrate on doing weights as opposed to cardiovascular fitness . . . I don't really tweak my diet as much, I just try to eat sensibly." Source: www.fitsugar.com

"We were having trouble finding a piece of my costume in Pittsburgh, and so I knew I was going to New York and I knew of a place that sold fluorescent bras and I decided my character would wear fluorescent bras, but I don't think that's unusual," Hathaway told OnTheRedCarpet.com recently.

Anne Hathaway at 'Love and Other Drugs' Press Conference on 6th November 2010

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal featuring on Entertainment Weekly magazine November 26, 2010 issue! some Highlights interview:
Entertainment Weekly: When you first read this script, were you at all scared to take it on?

Jake Gyllenhaal: I immediately fell in love from the first 10 pages, and by the end I was weeping. It felt like this weird sense of fate. I went to Ed and basically begged him. I was like, “This part was written for me.”

Edward Zwick: When we met, I saw things in Jake that I had not seen on screen. And that’s what you want. Then somebody said, “Did you ever see Jake host Saturday Night Live? You should look at it.” And I did. [To Gyllenhaal] I’m not saying you got this part necessarily because you were in drag.

Anne Hathaway: But it didn’t hurt!

Zwick: He was self-mocking and aware of his comic persona. And then, getting to know him—that was the real thing.

Hathaway: My reaction wasn’t as clearcut as Jake’s. I remember thinking, “What potential.”

Zwick: She sensed something wanting in the script. She sensed a deficiency in her character.

EW: Which was what?

Hathaway: All the different facets of Maggie, they all had a central root, which was denial and fear of the future. We had to find a way to thread that through the entire character. And the script that I got, that wasn’t there. But I believed Jamie and Maggie were in love.

EW: Ed, were you at all hesitant to cast these two together since they had already played a couple in Brokeback Mountain?

Zwick: I’m so clueless that I had forgotten.

Gyllenhaal: He’s really on it.

EW: Was there anything you two learned about each other on that movie that was helpful for this one?

Gyllenhaal: Our first interaction as actors in a scene in Brokeback, the rhythm was just on. It was like dancing. We only got a little taste of what it was. But I remember that feeling. You know the actors that you’re just going to go somewhere with. We’re also both inherently musical. That musicality is what I think makes us really compatible and makes it easy to love her on screen and in life.

EW: Did you maintain a friendship in the years since Brokeback?

Hathaway: It was more of a bump-into-each- other casual thing. [To Gyllenhaal] I was always happy to see you, but we didn’t really reach out to each other. I kind of felt more bonded to you than I felt that we were friends. I feel like we’re friends now. But I always thought of you and was sending you, like, positive vibes and things.

EW: So who signed on to Love & Other Drugs first?

Zwick: Jake was first. I thought of them at the same time, but the truth is, it took a little bit of a process for Annie to be comfortable, to know that she’d be really understood and listened to. For this kind of a part, asking what I was going to be asking of her, that made sense.

Gyllenhaal: When Ed and I were doing a dual wooing of Annie…

Hathaway: Not a bad experience, by the way.

Gyllenhaal: …we said, “We’ve got your back, and there’s going to be love around, and you’re not going to turn around and have people whispering.” Once we convinced her, that was what happened.

Hathaway: We had two weeks of rehearsal. It was literally the three of us in a room, playing. And talking about books that moved us.

Gyllenhaal: And watching some pretty racy, sexy scenes from movies.

Hathaway: And saying, “All right, this is turning me on right now!”
Scans of Anne Hathaway in Elle UK magazine - December 2010

Gyllenhaal: When you watch these movies about people who supposedly spend the rest of their lives together, it’s always odd to me that the girl, after they’ve slept together four or five times, would have her body covered and be shy in front of the person she’s going to spend the rest of her life with. And then you have the shot of him getting up and you see his butt. There’s always the, like, walk-to-the-shower shot. There’s this weird cliché that happens that’s gotten under the skin of audiences. That’s not a really good cinematic representation of love.

Hathaway: Talking about the sheet not being placed just so, Jake and I were in this amazing take, and he turned and caught the sheet and pulled it off me. And I wasn’t going to yell “Cut.” I just thought, “Go with it, Hathaway. If it was theater, you would go with it.” And I did. And of course that is the take that is in the movie.

EW: You have a lot of chemistry in that scene. Is that something that’s just there, or can you manufacture it?

Hathaway: Yeah, you can, but it’s not as much fun.

Gyllenhaal: There’s, like, this little door that you open up and you’re like, “You down?” “Yeah, I’m down—let’s do it.” And the door closes when the scene ends. Yeah, it’s sexy when we’re doing it. And then it stops. But she could probably talk to a wall and have chemistry.

EW: Your first sex scene, in Maggie’s kitchen, is particularly carnal. Was it choreographed, or did you just go at it?

Gyllenhaal: I’ve always felt, particularly with women, it’s good to have a dance, like choreography. “I’m going to turn you here, then that’s going to happen.”

Zwick: We put a pot there [on a kitchen stool] that we knew was going to get knocked off.

Gyllenhaal: We were, like, fake having sex and being like, “Knock the pot off, knock the pot off.” I was not focusing on her at all and instead focusing on knocking the f—ing pot off for Ed.

Hathaway: On one take you swung me into the pot! The lack of clothing meant that there wasn’t a lot of padding, so I was constantly bruised. That scene that you were just describing? I had a welt on my knee.

EW: So there were days where you guys were just lying in bed with nothing but a little patch on for 9 or 10 hours?

Gyllenhaal: Yeah.

Hathaway: Yeah. It’s very strong tape.

Gyllenhaal: It supposedly was the same tape that they used on Pirates of the Caribbean to keep everybody’s wigs on.

EW: Do you just get desensitized to it after a while?

Gyllenhaal: With the crew I was like, “Who cares?” If you care, it’s going to suck in the movie.

Hathaway: I didn’t want to make a big deal about nerves. Of course, there is that revoltingly embarrassing moment when you have to take your clothes off in front of strangers. I mean, I don’t go to the beach in a bikini for a reason.

Gyllenhaal: An unfortunate thing for the rest of the world.

Hathaway: Aw, thanks. So for me, this role was pretty out-there in terms of the way I usually am in public concerning my body. So I thought, “Okay, I’m going to be in control. I’m going to do everything properly, disrobe at the last minute, and in between shots get the clothes back on.” But then I found that every time I put my robe back on, it rubbed all the body makeup off, and that added 20 minutes to filming. As with all things in life, the second you stop making it about you and you make it about everyone else, it just got, dare I say, fun. There wasn’t anything to be nervous about. It was another scene.

EW: So if you two are closer friends now, where does your relationship go from here? Do you hang out more now than you did before?

Gyllenhaal: We do hang out more now.

Hathaway: I now have a go-to cooking teacher, which is wonderful. Source: oh-annehathaway.com

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway love Cary Grant and Rita Hayworth

Jake Gyllenhaal, one of the Sexiest Men alive according to People Magazine (2010)
Jake and costar Anne Hathaway have a lot in common:Cary Grant and Rita Hayworth in "Only Angels Have Wings" (1939)

-"We love Cary Grant and Rita Hayworth. When we're working together, that's what we're trying to go for"
-How much Viagra research did you do?
-Jake Gyllenhaal: The director, Ed Zwick, made me memorize these 50-page PDF files on all of the Pfizer drugs.
Scans of Star magazine, November 2010

"I was not focusing on her at all and instead focusing on knocking the f---ing pot off for Ed [the director]" -Jake Gyllenhaal about sex scenes in "Love and other drugs" (2010)

"Unlike some other films that show skin just for skin's sake, the filmmakers wanted the nudity in "Love and Other Drugs" to be authentic and organic, not gratuitous. Jake summed it up, saying, "And then you have the shot of him getting up and you see his butt. There's always the, like, walk-to-the-shower shot. There's this weird cliche that happens, that's gotten under the skin of audiences. That's not really a good cinematic representation of love."
But wait, does this mean we won't get to see Jake's butt in this movie? (Noooooooo!) Fortunately, Anne clarified just how uninhibited those sultry bits turned out to be. For example: "Jake and I were in this amazing take", she said, "and he turned and caught the sheet and pulled it off me... I just thought, 'Go with it, Hathaway.'"
Anne also deserves credit for taking quite a beating while filming several of the more, er, energetic scenes in the movie, which required the characters to break things, knock things off shelves, and so on—all while getting it on. She quipped, "The lack of clothing meant that there wasn't a lot of padding, so I was constantly bruised."
Meanwhile, lying around naked for hours at a time (with the exception of the moleskins that cover the actors' naughty parts, held on by what Jake said was "the same tape that they used on 'Pirates of the Caribbean' to keep everybody’s wigs on") helped Anne and Jake develop a comfortable, casual friendship that continued even after filming was over. But while their onscreen relationship happened mostly in the bedroom, their real-life one is based elsewhere: in the kitchen.

"She texts me when she has questions about cooking," Jake said.
