Welcome back to Jake Gyllenhaal Fan, your oldest-newest resource to everything Jake. You may know Jake from movies such "Donnie Darko", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Zodiac". Here we aim to bring you the latest on Jake and his upcoming projects. Thanks for your visit and enjoy your stay.
It has been over a year since those Agent Provocateur ads came out starring Maggie Gyllenhaal. However, it’s only now that the actress has spilled on how her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, teased her for appearing in the lingerie campaign.
“I didn’t know how scrutinized I’d be,” she recently told USA Today. “My brother called me and said, ‘I’m in Heathrow, and there’s a 12-foot picture of you upside down in a negligee.’”
Jake’s sister Maggie talked to Marie Claire about how Jake is around kids - among other things, of course. Here’s what she had to say:
“He’s great with kids – it comes naturally to him,” Maggie says in the August issue of Marie Claire, about Jake Gyllenhaal, frequently seen in the company of girlfriend and her children. “He really has that touch.”
Maggie’s new film, The Dark Knight, is out this week.
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal will join his sister Maggie at one of The Dark Knight premieres in a bid to pay tribute to his Brokeback Mountain co-star and friend Heath Ledger. Jake Gyllenhaal, the godfather of Ledger’s two-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams, is planning to attend one of the upcoming U.S. premieres. He’ll support his sister Maggie, who worked with tragic Ledger on the new Batman film.
A source tells OK! magazine, “Jake is debating coming to the New York city premiere or waiting to be Maggie’s date at an L.A. (Los Angeles) screening.
“He wants this to be something positive that will celebrate the role of a lifetime and a performance of which Heath was so proud.” Ledger’s parents and sister are also expected to jet to New York from their home in Perth, Australia, to attend the New York premiere on 14 July (08). Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment in January (08).
Us Weekly is reporting on this week’s issue that Jake has moved in with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. “Sources” close to the actress have supposedly told the magazine that the couple is closer and closer to the altar.
But, just like anything else published on Us Weekly, this cannot be confirmed, since neither Jake or his reps have commented on the subject.
JGF will keep you posted if anything comes up.
It has also been reported that Jake is currently in London filming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (already!) and Reese went along. They are apparently residing in a £1.9 million property in West London, that is, Notting Hill. A source said: “[Reese] loves England and has been really looking forward to spending this time living with Jake.”
“Nailed” has finished filming in Columbia for good after the shoot never resumed from weekend walk-off by movie crews who said they were not getting paid.
Producers were hoping to resume filming Monday, but crews refused to work on the comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, Variety reported.
It’s unclear if producers have enough money to get the movie into theaters.
Even in the final stretch of filming in Columbia, “Nailed” can’t catch a break.
Filming was supposed to finish this weekend on the comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, but shoot was shut down for a fourth time.
The International Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees ordered members to avoid the set on Friday because movie crews had not been paid — again, Variety and L.A. Weekly reported.
Filming was expected to start again today, a source told Variety. The S.C. Film Commission said it did not know if shooting had resumed. Attempts to reach the production company of “Nailed” was unsuccessful today.
David O. Russell’s political comedy “Nailed” will resume filming Wednesday thanks to a late-breaking financing deal with Comerica Bank and the film’s financier, Capitol Films. Key cast members, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel and Catherine Keener, were en route to the South Carolina set Tuesday to begin shooting the next day.
Jake Gyllenhaal has topped a poll of the Hot 100 gay icons.
The 27-year-old actor – who famously starred in a homosexual love scene with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain – came first in the survey of 100,000 people on gay website AfterElton.com, for the second consecutive year.
The website says: “What accounts for Jake’s ongoing appeal to gay men? His doe-eyed, boy next door (yet somehow smouldering) looks certainly don’t hurt, but we suspect what really makes gay men go for him is that he doesn’t have an issue going for us.
“Jake has done as much as any actor to show straight guys there isn’t a good reason to be afraid of gay guys or gay roles.â€
Jake beat Torchwood star John Barrowman and Brothers and Sisters actor Luke McFarlane to the top spot.
‘Prince of Persia’ is getting an awesome cast, check this out:
Alfred Molina will join Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley in Disney’s “Prince of Persia,” the Mike Newell-directed adaptation of the Ubisoft fantasy actioner. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing.
Molina will play Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince.
Shooting is slated to begin in July in the U.K. and Morocco.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes opened up their new home for an intimate housewarming party — with more than 500 of their friends, according to E! Online and Us.
The extravagant event was catered by Wolfgang Puck, and an orchestra entertained the A-list crowd.
Guests included Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Eva Longoria Parker, Kimora Lee Simons, Diddy, Prince, Tobey Maguire, J. Lo, Brooke Shields, Ben Stiller and Oprah. And, there was family: Cruise’s mother and sister were among the first to arrive.
