Jake Gyllenhaal: Source Code kind of like The Usual Suspects

"We recently had a chance to speak with Jake Gyllenhaal and we asked the popular actor if it was true that a sequel was already in the works? "No, not at all", replied the actor. "I think everybody's just hoping that the audience is going to like this movie and if they respond to it I think we would be more than happy to try our hand at another one. I think at this point we're all just hoping people will like this and go and see this one."

Finally, we asked Gyllenhaal to tell us a little bit about another project that he is working on called Source Code. The actor seemed very excited to talk about the new sci-fi thriller and gave us a sneak peak at the plot. "The story is really complicated to explain but essentially it deals with different time realities and the issue of one person getting stuck in different time continuums.Kevin Spacey as Roger 'Verbal' Kint in "The Usual Suspects" (1995)

Ultimately it's kind of like the way The Usual Suspects works, everything kind of comes together in this immaculately perfect way at the end that kind of blows your mind." Source: www.movieweb.com

Jake Gyllenhaal out for lunch with Maggie & Ramona at Ammo in LA on 25th March 2009

WW: "Tell me what it's like being an uncle. Do you spoil your niece, Ramona?

JG: I think it’s wonderful being an uncle. I mean, my niece is incredible and she's, like, constantly positive little truth teller. I love her. I adore her. I would do anything for her. So, you know, it's nice to be her uncle, and I try to see her as much as possible. And I go out of my way to do that. Since she‘s the next generation of little Gyllenhooligans. Even though she's a Sarsgaard. But she's half of us, so, you know". Source: wonderwall.msn.com

JAKE GYLLENHAAL’S FIVE FAVE HEROIC SCREEN ACTORS:

HARRISON FORD – “Indiana Jones was it for me when I was a kid and I’ve never changed my mind. I think that’s the best movie hero acting ever.”

ERROL FLYNN – “If you’re talking old school, he knew how to do it the best. And I always loved the fun he had with it.”

VAL KILMER – “In Willow, I thought he did the most amazing work. He acquired size and stature and made you respect him.”

WILL SMITH – “He’s the man, in everything he does. That’s what a hero should walk like, talk like, act like. He always delivers the goods.”

JEFF GOLDBLUM – “He usually plays a villain or freak, but in Independence Day, he was a hero and I guess because it was so unexpected, it made it all the more powerful.”

Lindsay Lohan...What?!? photoshoot

I MEAN…WHAT?!? was on set at the recent photo shoot with Lindsay Lohan shot by Markus Klinko & Indrani, styled by GK Reid, produced by Jorge Perez. They are all part of the new Bravo-TV show, Double Exposure, that is set to finally air on June 15. Should be a hoot as each episode is a different celebrity photo shoot and all the Bravo-type drama that ensues. Lindsay was the consummate professional on this set and gave it her all.

According to People, Jake surprised an audience getting a sneak peek at his new action adventure movie this week in Century City, Calif., and he joked with the crowd about his upcoming showdown with Carrie Bradshaw. “This,” Jake reportedly said referring to his body, “is the real ‘Sex and The City!’” See Access’s London pub crawl with Jake, HERE:

Studying Robert Pattinson's body language towards Kristen Stewart

“[Rob] likes [Kristen] more than she likes him” Dr. Lillian Glass tells HollywoodLife.com of these shots taken May 5 in Chicago, Ill. Adding, “He is beyond taken by her – she brings out the best in his appearance because he looks relaxed and taken with her.”
A second body language expert agrees that Rob, 24, is more obvious about his feelings toward Kristen, 21, than she is to him.
“Rob has the hand in the pocket with the thumb out, that is a sexual position in men —the thumb goes towards the genital area. It says, ‘I am a man and want to be recognized for my dominate sexuality. I’m the alpha — this one’s mine”, Patti Wood explains to us. “He is doing a slight lean toward her but there is still a lot of space. Kristen is closed and neutral.” Source: www.hollywoodlife.com

New Twilight saga "Eclipse" promotional posters featuring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Kellan Lutz, Xavier Samuel

"Sparkly vampires, a forced love story with manufactured chemistry between three dull and uninterested looking stars all trying to out pose each other, an unsympathetic lead character that likes to cock tease a werewolf, and source material that decided to throw out literary conventions in favor of… well, sucking. And yet the books have sold more copies than a civilized society can rationally explain, and the movies have made enough money to justify our extinction as a society.

So why is this on our list of movies we hope don’t suck? Because somehow, somewhere, odds are that someone will make us watch it. A girlfriend, a young family member, someone that won a bet and hates you, etc. So we hope that it doesn’t suck for entirely selfish reasons. The fourth and final installment is already guaranteed (and will possibly be split into two movies), so it doesn’t matter. Even if the movie lost money, even if the movie is worse than Battlefield Earth, even if it is so bad that moviegoers begin to spontaneously combust rather than endure any more, there will be another Twilight movie. So we hope it doesn’t suck because we are already screwed". Source: www.digitaltrends.com

Gemma Arterton could replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3

Jake Gyllenhaal attending "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" LA Premiere on May 17, 2010

"Equipped with a chunked-up physique and a surprisingly accurate English accent, Jake Gyllenhaal makes a play for the family blockbuster market, as the lead actor in an expensive-looking film based, inevitably, on a video game. He plays a prince called Dastan in some nebulous region of medieval-era Middle East, who via a series of painfully complicated events, finds himself in possession of a mean-looking dagger that, via the sand grains in its hilt, can stop time and enable its operator to change things to his or her satisfaction.

Gemma Arterton – glowing like a premier-league film star, but yapping like a Britcom third-rater – is the princess of the holy city where Dastan seizes it, while Ben Kingsley puts his supercilious sneer to good use as Dastan's treacherous uncle.

It goes without saying, too, that any contemporary geo-political resonances are stuffed well out of sight: despite the odd mention of religion here and there, there's no concession to the fact that this is notionally set in the US's bete noire, Iran". Source: www.guardian.co.uk

"Megan Fox won't be in 'Transformers 3.' So who will be Shia LeBeouf's new girlfriend?

As you might expect, every actress in Hollywood between the ages of 18 and 26 are candidates for the role, though The Wrap reports that Gemma Arterton is currently the frontrunner to play LeBeouf's love interest.

Arterton is certainly no stranger to Hollywood blockbusters, having appeared as a doomed Bond Girl in 'Quantum of Solace' and as the goddess Io in the recent 'Clash of the Titans' reboot.

Ben Kingsley Compliments Jake Gyllenhaal's Fake British Accent

Ben Kingsley compliments Jake Gyllenhaal for his excellent North London accent in 'Prince of Persia,' noting how the accent perfectly suits his character of Prince Dastan on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC).

"It is a perfect, perfect North London accent," Kingsley said. "His particular accent would be an affluent, middle-class lad brought up in London in a good school, but always softening that aristocratic edge by being able to mix with the lads. Now, that is exactly Jake's character. Source: www.tvsquad.com
