Jake's news (January 2013)

[mermon]

So we have a New Year 2013. Very busy year in Jake's life, for our joy. Jake is in Georgia now, started to work on a new movie Prisoners directed By Denis Villeneuve,Thriller / Warner Bros. / September 20, 2013.
He was seen in Atlanta.

As we may see from the picture looks like Jake is shaved. A guess is, that Jake is in company of a director Denis Villeneuve and Paul Dano

"Making it snow on the set of the new Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal movie, The Prisoners. "

There were signs from "filming" in Stone Mountain Park. Area looks beautiful! Look at that mountain!

Prisoners is set to filming in Conyers,GA since Jan. 16 till the beginning of April probably. I guess now it's some preparation time.

As we know already Jake is involved in a next project Mississippi Grind as a producer and actor. This is set for May.

And autumn should be very hot - in September two movie releases An Enemy (Sep.12?) and Prisoners (Sep.20). Can you imagine promotion time? ;D

Thanks Mermon glad to see the beard is gone at least for a little while

Thanks for pulling all this together, mermon. I'd been expecting to hear any day now that Jake had started filming Prisoners. What a beautiful landscape they are in. That picture of Jake in the lounge with Paul Dano and Denis V, the director, is kind of strange. I can barely recognize that it's Jake. He does seem to have stubble, not the full beard, and his hair is slicked down, combed straight back, and still long. I bet that's the look his character will have. I hope we get two Jake movies this year, but September 20 still seems too quick for Prisoners. If they won't be finished till April, that isn't much time to edit and promote a film for September release. Oh well, we can only wait and see.

Your link on Mississippi Grind is a bit out of date. It says Jake is negotiating to play the young gambler. Didn't we hear that he had definitely signed on? It's also notable to me that he's a producer of the film and was the one who brought the script to the production company. That suggests to me that he's putting his own money into it, or possibly getting friends and family to contribute. Of course, others will contribute too. It disappoints me a little that it's another low-budget movie. And I have to say that the story reminds me of two legendary Paul Newman films, The Hustler and The Color of Money. The type of gambling is pool playing. In the first, Newman portrays the cheeky young guy trying to break into the game; in the second, he plays this same character, now an older, washed-up gambler, who joins up with Tom Cruise as the young challenger. These are both very strong movies to go up against, so I hope Jake's film has a new angle (and isn't about pool playing :. I'm eager to hear who will star opposite Jake in MG.

[mermon]

Right Evie. This out of date article is from August, but it has some info, about low budget for example.
We know already who will join Jake as an older gambler. It's an Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn

Hopefully the story is original. Not similar to films you mentioned. From that above article from January 8 it still looks like Jake is in talks as an actor.

From IMDb:

Mississippi Grind - the indie drama – set to be directed by Half Nelson partners Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden – focuses on Gyllenhaal as a young, cocky gambler who befriends an older, debt-riddled gentleman, as they decide to travel across the South hoping to change their bad luck.

That's a much better proof, Jake is shaved! Looking great! Longer hair, light stubble - great.

Anyone knows, what kind of bracelet he has?

“Suddenly,” a new addition to the score for the movie Les Miserables, was nominated for best original song.
Hugh Jackman:

“I’m happy to sing that song whenever someone asks me,” he said, on the phone from a town near Atlanta, where he is starting a new movie, “Prisoners.”

So glad to see his beautiful face again.

Mermon I think that braclet is given to people who are allowed to sit court side at the games which is where he was sitting but thats only a guess.

[mermon]

Thx Book! You may be right.

Woooooooooooooooooooohoooo! The face pet is gone!

I think that bracelet may be to show you bought a ticket. Then you can leave your seat and come back without trouble because the attendants at the doors know you aren't trying to sneak in. The color may indicate where you're supposed to sit, so that people from the cheaper seats can't try to sit courtside. Courtside is the best, most expensive and exclusive place to sit. Only the best for Jake! Remember when he and Reese sat there when they went to a Lakers game back in LA, and he kissed her for the camera? These seats aren't always easy to get, I hear. It looks as if Jake's alone, but that may not be the case.

I read that Maggie and Peter were there too

[mermon]

No glimpse of Maggie, but Peter and Ramona were there for sure with Jake. At around 00:20 sec.
Peter is hard to recognize, all bearded with long hair. Jake looks great, Ramona is a big girl already.
Great find by Ultraviolet from Gyllenbabble

He looks good! Glad the beard is gone. But...why is he smoking? I thought he quit a long time ago. It seems really weird that he would start up again, especially when he is so into healthy eating/lifestyle and exercising. Also, is that a fake tattoo on his neck?

Hey, Marie, thanks for the link to the pictures. What a thrill to see Jake's gorgeous face again, after being hidden behind the bird’s nest for so long. I love the length of his hair here. He looks exactly like the character I'd expect to see in Prisoners, a small-town detective, except for the ink on his neck.

He had several big fancy tattoos in the play, on his arms and neck, which I assumed were fake. The one seen here doesn't seem to go with the character in Prisoners, but we'll have to wait for the movie to get the explanation. I hope to God it isn't real; why would Jake do that to himself? I’m not against tattoos, but they say specific things about you, and can be limiting for an actor when they’re so noticeable.

As to the smoking: I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I’ve always admired Jake for not smoking, because it fits with the healthy lifestyle he seemed to follow. How he can knock himself out doing SoulCycle and then smoke cigarettes is a mystery to me. KD got him smoking way back, but then he quit. He seems to have started up again while filming An Enemy and basically never stopped. He smoked in the play, but then I saw a sign in the theater that the cigarettes used in performance had no nicotine. Jake was photographed smoking outside the theater, and it's likely he was sucking on the real thing. He could be going through some personal upheavals and acting out by making foolish choices. He may also be trying to rough up his handsome, nice-guy image. And there could be family issues, romantic disappointments, even professional jealousy going on.
