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.
Jake and his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon went out to dinner with Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and who will also produce Jake’s upcoming film Prince of Persia. I’ve just added some HQ pictures of that day to the gallery:
Jake’s upcoming film, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is about to start shooting, so Jake and co-star Gemma Arterton were seen this Thursday (July 3) improving their horseback riding and sword fighting skills. As you can see, he’s also growing his hair for the character. He plays adventurous Prince Dastan, who teams up with a rival prince to help save the world from an angry ruler threatening to unleash a sandstorm, in the film which is based on a computer game and also stars English thespians Alfred Molina and Sir Ben Kingsley.
I’ve added 32 HQ images of Jake riding a white horse and having fun with his sword. Follow the link below to see them:
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.
Jake has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the Best Actor - Drama category for his portrayal of a CIA agent in Rendition! He’s up agains Channing Tatum (Stop-Loss), Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), Mark Wahlberg (We Own the Night) and Ryan Phillippe (Stop-Loss). Make sure you vote for him by clicking here! The TCA will take place on August 4.
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.
‘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.
First, James Caan walked off the set of David O’Russell’s Nailed. Now, according to Variety, the entire production has shut down due to financial problems, which leaves both Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel without a job until further notice.
This is the third time the production has been put on hold. IATSE leaders instructed below-the-line crewmembers not to show up last Thursday when they were not paid. A person close to the project insists that the project will in fact start back up again sometime next week.
The film is scheduled to wrap sometime in June, but its future is murky at best.
Jake is reportedly involved in a new project. Check this out:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton will star in “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ adaptation of Ubisoft’s popular video game. Mike Newell is directing.
In the fantasy adventure, Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard, Jordan Mechner and Boaz Yakin wrote the script, which is based on the many games created by Jordan Mechner.
Bruckheimer is producing, while Mike Stenson, Chad Oman and Patrick McCormick are exec producing.
Production is set to start in July.
Gyllenhaal will next appear in Jim Sheridan’s “Brothers” with Tobey Maguire. He is repped by CAA and Management 360.
British actress Arterton is relatively new on the film scene but is already generating heat for her work in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming “RocknRolla” and the new James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace.” She is repped by Independent Talent Group.
