Jake sported a red and white buttoned plaid shirt, jeans and a black derby hat.
Jake has joined forces with Global Green USA, attending the the launch of National Green Schools Initiative last month, building a garden during Green Service Day at Manual Arts High School.
Talking about Global Green, Jake tells: “What I learned is that something like this is possible. There are so many things that I’ve thought of [including making] gardens like this. I had always thought this is possible on a mass scale. This is possible within a massive city like Los Angeles!”
Green Schools Initiative: Day of Service with Jake Gyllenhaal (Short)
"Our lead is James Brennan played perfectly by Jesse Eisenberg. This is a less overtly awkward Michael Cera type, but older. He is a college graduate, in transition between college and seeking a Graduate degree in Journalism - after majoring in Renaissance studies. He also happens to be a Virgin. Not an inept one, but one of choice. He's had opportunities, but his love of Renaissance literature has given him a lovesick fascination with true love. Although peer pressure and his own natural attraction and desire for intercourse... well, it is on his mind.
This isn't another of those comedic romps about getting laid, though that is the overall arc of this story. It's more about real human types that take a summer job at a theme park like ADVENTURELAND and what that summer could very well have been like.
I found the story to be very honest feeling. You don't have ridiculous over the top disgusting gags for laughs' sake. The drugs and drinking isn't about stereotypes with half-closed eyes acting like burn-outs... But about sharing a single joint after work to take the edge off - and the kinds of conversations that these types of people would have. People get hurt in this film and some triumph. This is a film that has a shared soul with movies like AMERICAN GRAFFITI and DAZED & CONFUSED, though not nearly as GREAT as those films - at least not upon a single reflection.
The cast is wonderful. I dare you to not lust after Margarita Levieva's Lisa P or not fall a little in love with Kirsten Stewart's Em. These are not perfect types, but characters that surprise you with their flaws and their merits. Martin Starr is again masterful as a wonderful Nikolai Gogol and other Soviet literature. He smokes a pipe and is acutely self-aware that his major prepared him for isolation and self-loathing, which in turn leaves him frustrated.I know I'm describing a film that feels like a downer, but it isn't. I LOVED spending the summer with these characters. I loved how there are no overt VILLAINS, only mistakes that flawed humans make and then chose to forgive or be condemned by.
I honestly feel we need more movies like this that help with the balance. I enjoy the silly goofy crap, but it doesn't inspire a generation to anything but losing itself in mediocrity and the science of distraction. This film feels honest, sweet and funny. That may not be as marketably cool as "from the creator of SUPERBAD," but it is a very very worthwhile film experience". Source: www.aintitcool.com

"A lot of alcohol and no drama! No fuss, that's the most important thing. Warm would be great," she says. "I just get to play and get my hair and make-up done in my professional life, so I don't really know if I want that fuss for my wedding. I want simple."
And she says she's already enjoying one of the best parts of a marriage – the benefits of living together". Source: www.people.com Close-up of Anna Faris' engagement ring.

"Penn dediced that Emile was right for the job, and the young man repaid that trust with an intense, real, and moving performance that critic Roger Ebert called hypnotic and almost transcendental."I completely identified with the character. I think that, at a certain point in life, we all have wanted to drop everything and to move far away, create a new life, and become someone else so we wouln't be prisoners of our life, rather set out to explore something new and unknown..."
There's not a shred of rhetoric in his voice. Emile speaks in a monotone, without emphasis, in short, brief phrases. Here's how he recalls his childhood. "I spent a lot of time in New Mexico when I was a kid. I used to climb the mountains and we would camp in remote, rugged places". -"The talent of Emile" by ALESSANDRA VENEZIA.
L'UOMO VOGUE ITALIAN EDITION PHOTOSHOOT, 2009 MARCH: After a number of well-regarded but barely seen films including Lords of Dogtown and Alpha Dog, he won raves for his riveting, emaciated work in director Sean Penn's Into the Wild. (Into the Wild) was the first time I did something people were aware of on a larger scale," says Hirsch, who remains close to Penn. The two recently worked on the biopic Milk, which stars Penn as assassinated gay rights activist and San Francisco mayor Harvey Milk. It's a world or two removed from the eye-popping cityscapes of Cosmopolis, where Speed Racer unfolds. What does Penn think about his protege headlining such a commercial, mass-market property? "I think he's probably pretty excited about it," Hirsch says. "That was what totally changed the equation. One of my favourite movie-going experiences was when I was 13 and I saw The Matrix. I love that movie so much; I was so blown away. They're more artistic and independent than a lot of people who call themselves independent artists," he says, adding, "And I wanted to sell out."
Remembers producer Joel Silver of finding their Speed, "We saw all the young hot guys in town, but we hadn't seen Into the Wild yet -- it hadn't come out. But (the Wachowskis) felt he had all the qualities Speed had -- he was handsome, genuine, ambitious, forthright ... They thought he was Speed." Once Hirsch was in place, the cast quickly filled out: Christina Ricci as Speed's girlfriend Trixie, Susan Sarandon and Goodman as his racing-in-their-veins parents, and Matthew Fox as Racer X, an enigmatic rival who may be Speed's presumed-dead brother, Rex Racer.
Altogether, they shot for 60 days outside of Berlin on green-screen soundstages. The film's trippy, colour-drenched vistas were then added digitally in post-production.
Coming off his intensely visceral experience making Into the Wild, Hirsch recalls, "There's no real way to make the transition. You're thrown into this other world. Green screen kind of sucks the life out of you a little bit, so you've got to be constantly battling that and trying to rejuvenate yourself. It can be a really soul-sucking activity. It's known for that. But that's part of the deal. 'You know you're shooting on green screen, right? Prepare yourself for Hell.' For Into the Wild, shooting in nature is so much fun and so giving and you're rejuvenated at the end of every day. (Working with green screen) you're constantly going outside when you can and becoming really tight with all the people on the crew and having that sense of camaraderie -- that's what can give you your energy back."
He is similarly circumspect about fame and celebrity. "I don't try to keep my distance. It's a world you're involved. If you live here, you're in the town. You don't want to be some weird loner in a trailer 100 miles out of town, damning Hollywood -- that's too much." Emile Hirsch between Susan Sarandon and Christina Ricci.
And unnecessary, says Sarandon, who believes Young Hollywood's predilection for bad behaviour has been exaggerated thanks to a few repeat rehabbers.
"I worked with Natalie Portman (when she was young), with Jake Gyllenhaal on one of his first movies, my daughter's starting out (acting). There's a certain group of people who have gotten into a certain lifestyle because they don't have enough to do or they're not talented enough. But there's a whole cadre of young actors who are working really hard and really well and they show up and they're pros."
Says Hirsch, "You just want to keep your head and not be a jerk. It's simple. There's no complex formula. You just want to be someone who, if you met them, you would not dislike."
That extends, appropriately enough, to his behaviour on the road. "I'm a safe driver," he says. "Conservative and safe."
