Q: Doctor Parnassus, what is this 'love that dare not speak its name'?
Doctor Parnassus: That, my funny Valentine, is a phraseology from a 19th century poetical effort by my distant cousin, Lord Freddy "Turtleneck" Douglas. It referred to a deep spiritual affection between two confirmed bachelors. In our less tolerant times, it refers to a deep spiritual affection between two men who are not confirmed bachelors.
Q: Non-bachelors cannot speak about their love?
Doctor Parnassus: Oh baby ruth…as another distant relative of mine said, there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea. You say you love flowers, yet you pluck them. You say you love trees, yet you cut them down. And you wonder why some are afraid to speak their love!
Q: Is this about Jake and Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: My little dove bar, love is like a box of bitter chocolates. The one that we cannot have
is the one that lasts the longest, cuts the deepest, and feels the strongest. Yes, love lifts us up where we belong, where the eagles fly, on a mountain high! Yet love is also like pi — natural, irrational, and in the end, unspeakable.
Q: So Jake does admire Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
Q: Heath didn’t seem to want worshipping.
Doctor Parnassus: Hero with feet of clay, oh earthbound angel, oh shining knight of darkest sorrow, Adonis with an Achilles heel, sweet prince with a bitter smile! Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all?
Q: Doc, you look flushed, are you all right?
Doctor Parnassus: Forgive me. I have a psychosomatic reaction to true religion.
Q: Since we’re on the topic of love…what about Jake’s bachelor friend Austin. Why is he out of the picture?
Doctor Parnassus: Cara caramello, I think the show had poor ratings.
Q: No, why is he never seen with Jake anymore?
Doctor Parnassus: As Mr Brando once advised Mr Rock Hudson, "you cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom."
Q: What?
Doctor Parnassus: As the Chinaman says, "man who eats prunes, gets good run for money."
Q: I’m not following. Are you saying it’s a career move?
Doctor Parnassus: Dear turkish delight, your naivete is delicious.
Q: But…is Jake really into that woman?
Doctor Parnassus: The last time my client was inside a woman was when he went to the Statue of Liberty.
Q: Hmmm. Back to Heath. Jake can never speak of him?
Doctor Parnassus: As Sir Ang Lee once told me, Mr Gyllenhaal is the meandering river, Mr Ledger the bottomless ocean. The river knows not its depth until it reaches the ocean.
Q: You mean denial ain't just a river in Egypt?
Doctor Parnassus: Oi, reese's peanut butter cup! Mr Gyllenhaal has an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Yet while we always love those who admire us, we do not always love those whom we admire.
Q: I am more confused than ever.
Doctor Parnassus: Butterfinger, you must be in love.

Being a star doesn't last. That's not what life should be about.
Maggie, Interview from 2007:
Indeed, she seems older than 30 already. Before she even started in the movie business, she says, she was wise to it. "One thing I learned, from watching my parents, is that you can be on top of the world and then the next year you can be nowhere. And then, later, you're interesting again; and then, suddenly, you're not. I watched that happen to them, and I watched it hurt them. I think I'm a bit armed by having seen that." Hence the feet firmly on the ground.
Looking for trouble

Jerry Bruckheimer Updates Prince of Persia - Shooting Starts in June
Ever since the idea of a Prince of Persia movie was first announced, I've been making sure to follow it extra closely. I think putting the project in the hands of producer Jerry Bruckheimer is instant success. Just look at what Bruckheimer has done in recent years: National Treasure 1 & 2, Pirates of the Caribbean, "The Amazing Race" on CBS, King Arthur, Bad Boys II, Black Hawk Down. His production value are incredible, and I might be hard-pressed to even say unmatchable. If you imagine all of that put into a Prince of Persia project, you've got instant success. There hasn't been an update on the project since Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco, Mona Lisa Smile, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) was announced as the director, but Bruckheimer has finally spoken about it.
Our friends at Collider caught up with Bruckheimer during press events for National Treasure: Book of Secrets, due out in a few weeks. Collider started out by asking the ever-so-important question: how they'll make a good movie out of Prince of Persia in a world where video game movies are destined to suck. And what does "the Bruck" respond with?
"We hired a very interesting director, Mike Newell, who did one of the Harry Potter's and also did Donnie Brasco and he's a very inventive, ingenious director and I think he's going to bring something really special to it. We're just starting to… we have a screenplay, we're just starting to develop the look of it. It'll be unique and fresh."
Thank goodness for that! If there is anyone I have faith in turning out the first good video game adaptation, it would definitely be the duo of Bruckheimer and Newell. He also confirms that if it works, as in makes money and is successful, they'll be aiming to turn this into a franchise, just as he did with Pirates of the Caribbean. Bruckheimer also went on to say that it definitely will be a period film and they won't try and make it contemporary. They're aiming to start filming in June of next year as long as the writers strike ends in due time and the directors and actors strikes don't kick in either.
As a final question, Collider asked how Jerry was first introduced to the video game.
"It's a game that was brought to us early on and I thought it was very exciting and thought it was an interesting… first of all it's an interesting period and it's something that other people weren't doing. So I always like to go into new arenas that other filmmakers aren't in."
I'll continue to say it and continue to believe it: just as Michael Bay was perfect for bringing Transformers to the screen, Jerry Bruckheimer is perfect for bringing Prince of Persia to the screen. Unfortunately Jerry really didn't have anything too new to bring to the table, besides that a screenplay is developed and that they're aiming to start production in June of 2008. Are you still looking forward to Prince of Persia on the big screen?
Jerry Bruckheimer Updates Prince of Persia
Does the fact that "Brokeback Mountain" star Jake Gyllenhaal, 27, may be a boomerang kid who sometimes stays with his parents make you love him any less? Me neither.
Our "I saw evidence of Jake" spotter toured the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,000-square-foot home that is listed for sale. The asking price has dropped from $4.2 million to $3,795,000 - sounds like they're getting serious after three months on the market.
The listing agent says Jake doesn't live there - part time or otherwise - and points instead to the "modern light-filled design with an expansive fully equipped cook's kitchen" as a selling point. (Note to agent: Saying "come take a look and you might see Jake" is a bigger lure.) Anyway, the outdoor area was designed by landscape-designer-to-the-stars Jay Griffith. The property is almost an acre; the house sits way down a long driveway and juts out on a promontory from which there are magnificent city views.
SF Gate
^^^ Practically the same article with a very different title: The home of Jake Gyllenhaal's parents is for sale; actor not included
LA Times - May 6, 2008
Jake's house for sale said...
Ops... I've read SF Gate article one more time - they must be talking about Jake's parents house.
Sorry.
I think what they are getting at is that Jake has been spotted at his parents home, which has been up for sale for months.
It could be that Jake is over-seeing the sale of his parents home since they no longer live there (house sitting then dissappears when the real estate agents shows the house)
Key words in the article: Boomarang kid: One who goes back home to live. I think Jake no longer has his home in the HH, if he sold it to a Real estate co, then it would have not be listed.
IMO he goes back and forth from Reese's in Brentwood and his parents place, and since it's supposed to be hush-hush about his parents split, he ain't advertising it.
Jake's parents havn't lived i that home for over a year, they rented out last summer.
I think Jake no longer has his home in the HH...
Based on what, your hunch? lol
... since it's supposed to be hush-hush about his parents split, he ain't advertising it...
You are not making sense.
Jake's parents could sell their house to a Real estate co if they wanted it to be hush-hush. Selling the house isn't a proof that they are divorced / separated.
Q: Hmmm. Back to Heath. Jake can never speak of him?
Doctor Parnassus: As Sir Ang Lee once told me, Mr Gyllenhaal is the meandering river, Mr Ledger the bottomless ocean. The river knows not its depth until it reaches the ocean.
Q: You mean denial ain't just a river in Egypt?
Doctor Parnassus: Oi, reese's peanut butter cup! Mr Gyllenhaal has an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Yet while we always love those who admire us, we do not always love those whom we admire.
I must be the only one who really doesn't get Dr. P. Why can Jake never speak of him?
Can someone explain!
IMO he goes back and forth from Reese's in Brentwood and his parents place...
Bullshit.
Can someone explain!
I wish I could :)
I wish I could :)
So I'm not the only one not really getting him. lol
Thanks anyway! :)
As Mr Brando once advised Mr Rock Hudson, "you cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom."
So I'm not the only one not really getting him.
Dr Parnassus is too smart for me :)
Yet while we always love those who admire us, we do not always love those whom we admire.
Perhaps he meant Jake admired Heath, but didn't love him. But Heath loved Jake (who admired him, but didn't love him).
Heath loved Jake, chose him as his child's Godfather, while Jake admired Heath, he didn't love him, maybe even was a bit jealous of him?
What do you think of this interpretation!
I think I need "Dr Parnassus for Dummies".
Q: Is this about Jake and Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: My little dove bar, love is like a box of bitter chocolates. The one that we cannot have is the one that lasts the longest, cuts the deepest, and feels the strongest.
"Q: Is this about Jake and Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: My little dove bar, love is like a box of bitter chocolates. The one that we cannot have is the one that lasts the longest, cuts the deepest, and feels the strongest."
Question is who is meant Jake or Heath? Did Heath love him and Jake not or vice versa?
If Jake was the one who loved was the "problem" that Heath was straight or was the problem that both always had someone and weren't available for each other?
Really many possibilities!
"Q: Is this about Jake and Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: My little dove bar, love is like a box of bitter chocolates. The one that we cannot have is the one that lasts the longest, cuts the deepest, and feels the strongest."
IMO this sounds like the opposite, 9:29. I wish someone would enlighten us, we're obviously not bright enough for this. LOL
Did Heath love him and Jake not or vice versa?
Vice versa.
Maybe Doctor Parnassus could try and explain some of his previous posts in his next post!
Vice versa.
Then I wonder why it was one-sided? Heath really seemed to like Jake a lot, chose him to be the Godfather.
Was it because Heath was mainly interested in women? Probably!
Maybe Doctor Parnassus could try and explain some of his previous posts in his next post!
Great idea, if only.
Then I wonder why it was one-sided?
Michelle.
Q: So Jake does admire Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
Q: But…is Jake really into that woman?
Doctor Parnassus: The last time my client was inside a woman was when he went to the Statue of Liberty.
Michelle.
I wonder what happened after Heath and Michelle split? Probably nothing, because shortly after Heath allegedly hooked up with Gemma Ward and wasn't Jake supposedly still dating Austin at the time, he definitely already "hooked up" with Reese.
10:08 I got that part, it's the others that I don't understand.
Actually Heath and Michelle split up around April last year but the breakup was made public only in August. He hooked up with Gemma in the fall.
Reeke cuddling in new pics:
Reeke
Barf!
I'm really one who is not so sure that Jake is only into men, but boy he is so not into Reese. It's so obvious!
Since when does she wear hats? It looks like the dark hat version Michelle Williams wore when pictured with Matilda a few weeks ago.
She's wearing Timberlake's hat. LOL
They're so fake. Blech
In some pictures Jake looks like he's posing for a photoshoot. He likes to present himself in the best light, he knows he's hot. He's such a poser!
Nice little show for the paparazzi.
Who canoodles in in the valet line?
Phoneyspoon.
Where the hell are her kids? Ryan must have had them for two straight weeks or they're parked with a nanny.
They look so pathetic, especially Jake.
Ledgerhaal
Ever since the guys started promoting BBM, I was never able to put my finger on what kind of relationship they had. I don't think they had a sexual relationship though, but I don't think their feelings for each other were 100% platonic, at least not on Jake's part.
IHJ has some new pics too.
What? She is hiding behing him? LOL! Thanks for the link 10:52!
No, he didn't bother to wait for her. lol
If what Doctor Parnassus insinuated is true, I'm glad the "love" remained unrequitted. Since Jake behaved like such an insensitive idiot after Heath's death!
Reese seems very happy....she must have got paid heaps for helping Jake get the PoP role! Bearding, fast becoming the best paying job in HW. LOL!
No 10:59PM she is purposely hiding behind him and they are both laughing, he has to protect his woman!!
In the later pics he has no problem waiting for his woman, they are both phony media whores.
If what Doctor Parnassus insinuated is true, I'm glad the "love" remained unrequitted. Since Jake behaved like such an insensitive idiot after Heath's death!
Agreed!
oooohhh the paps,Reese baby hide behind me,I'll protect you meanwhile i'll put on my hood, hee, hee!!!
No 10:59PM she is purposely hiding behind him ...
Doesn't look like that from the pics.
They look so happy to see their friends the paparazzi.
Who the hell cares about all the fake Reeke pics as long as the Disney bigwigs are happy? What a pathetic pair of idiots! And Reese should keep her lips closed, her teeth scare me :(
They look so happy to see their friends the paparazzi.
Of course they do. Every photo opportunity is a good photo opportunity.
And Reese should keep her lips closed, her teeth scare me :(
What lips? She doesn't have any.
Hey, I don't care as long as she never wears a bikini again! Now that was scary.
11:16: Look again bitter one, it's a photo op. They spot the paps, and then with a big grin on their faces, she walks behind him and he pulls on his hood, look at the whole set of pics where she purposely is behind him almost invisible only ot emerge by his side as they go the car, phony.
The WENN pics are phony too, but at least they aren't pretending to play cat and mouse with the paps.
Kiki's teeth were scarier!
Don't compare Kiki with this bitch.
Reese's thin lips, ugly teeth and deformed lower jaw are much worse.
What is it with Jakey and ugly women? Must be cos he likes the boys!!
11:16: Look again bitter one, it's a photo op.
Yes, I know it's a photo op, but it still looks like Jake is walking too fast for her.
Nailed has shut down for the third time...so are we getting Reeked fast & furiously this weekend too?
hheeee heeee Enjoy the show folks!
They go to a restaurant with 24/7 paps stationed at the door.
The Babblers will still not see this as a set up. They will still call them low key and private when they are the exact opposite.
Hmmmm.... do you think Mr Phony G became er..."close pals" with any Disney execs to get the PoP part? Like he did with Lance A according to Ted?
Don't expect Babblers and other rag belivers to change.
Even the possibility of Jake or Reese pretending and faking for PR is absolutely unacceptable to them.
Never happens in Hollywood.
Like he did with Lance A according to Ted?
What did he do according to Ted? Why with Lance?
To me it looks like they are mocking people who really are bothered by papz. She jokingly hiding behind him, he putting his hoodie on his head. They think they're so funny!
A lot of good getting close to creepy Lance did, no Armstrong Bio!
BTW, Kiki was and still a junkie and was a junkie while dating Jake. She smelled, had greasey hair, wore the same clothes, and has fangs for teeth, Jake's fans hated her, you weren't a fan of his when they were dating obviously.
Jake was forced to dump her ass by PR and friends and family because her drug use was spinning out of control, couldn't have junkie Kiki tarnishing golden boy and bringing him down.
Why do you think he was silent regarding Heath?
Ted wrote that Toothy became close pals with a bigwig to get his next part in a HW project. A lot of people thought Ted was referring to Lance Armstrong and that Jake was rumored as playing Lance in a film about him. this was at the time of the 3 amigos around October 2006.
Ted?? LOL!!!!! Maybe Jake fooled around with Joe Namath, is he still doing that crap?
12:00, I think you might be right!
Seems like there's not much Jakey won't do to get himself projects! Gotta love the guy. NOT.
If he said something about Heath, he'd probably reveal himself as a friend and people would wonder. If Heath was supposedly on illegal drugs then maybe his friend as too. Jake didn't need this kind of speculation when he was looking for good projects that are hard to get and the competition isn't sleeping.
Jake was forced to dump her ass by PR and friends and family...
I think Jake wanted to play with boys.
"is he still doing that crap?"
Girlie, effeminate Jakey?! Hope not. LOL
"Jake didn't need this kind of speculation when he was looking for good projects..."
Oh yeah? how come DDL didn't mind?
So I guess Jake did the right thing by dissing Heath. Is that what you're saying 12:08 PM?
Ted wrote that Toothy became close pals with a bigwig to get his next part in a HW project.
I see. Don't think it was for Lance's bio movie.
Joe Namath movie - in development.
Jake didn't need this kind of speculation when he was looking for good projects that are hard to get and the competition isn't sleeping.
No one would think Jake did/does drugs because of his ex-colleague. That's just silly. No, there must be some other reason.
"Joe Namath movie - in development."
in 2006? No, it was thought to be LA.
Joe Namath movie IMDb status was "In development" 6 weeks ago (I had IMDbPro access). Jake was on the cast list.
And he was seen with LA a lot & started wearing that hideous yellow bracelet just like he wore the Avon handcuff. yikes!
"No one would think Jake did/does drugs because of his ex-colleague. That's just silly. No, there must be some other reason."
Like what?
LA = Lance Armstrong
He wore that yellow bracelet quite often.
Oh yeah? how come DDL didn't mind?
DDL is way more established in the industry than Jake! DDL let his heart speak, Jake didn't speak, because he probably listened to his PR!
not any more....why? because it's of no use to him anymore. Not seen with LA either. coincidence? not in HW!
No one would think Jake did/does drugs because of his ex-colleague. That's just silly. No, there must be some other reason.
I'm curious what would that be?
I do believe that part of the break up with Dunst was her excessive drug use. Being with her couldn't have been good for his image at all!
No, there must be some other reason.
Like what?
It could be 10 different reasons, I don't see how I could guess which one is real.
"Being with her couldn't have been good for his image at all!"
Being with her was great for his image. She was more successful than him (just like Reese). There were photo ops almost every few days (just like Reese). Go check IHJ. Kiki's drug use became public only after they broke up. He broke up because he was with Austin.
I'm curious what would that be?
You and me both.
Maybe at the beginning the relationship with Kirsten was helpful for him, but I think her drug use increased later on and that wasn't helpful anymore!
I do believe that part of the break up with Dunst was her excessive drug use.
Media doesn't seem to care much about Kristen's drug problem. Her rehab - did they even mention drugs?
^^^ Kirsten
Her rehab - did they even mention drugs?
I think they did!
"Media doesn't seem to care much about Kristen's drug problem. Her rehab - did they even mention drugs?"
Come on, it's enough that she's in rehab, the drugs don't even have to be mentioned. For someone like Jake who wants a squeaky clean reputation and would to anything to protect it, Kiki's drug or rehab rumors would be a big no-no.
You can't change the facts that easy.
Jake and Kirsten dated + Kirsten is a drug/alcohol addict = Jake was involved with a drug/alcohol addict.
"Jake was involved with a drug/alcohol addict."
LOL, he was!
Drugs/alcohol are not funny though, sorry for loling!
According to IHJ both Reeke photo ops are from Saturday, May 24.
^^Wow, complete with the bent knee kiss, straight out of an old-fashioned HW romance!
I only knew of Jake at first as "Kirsten Dunst's boyfriend", for what that's worth. But that all changed after I saw BBM. Jake was utterly amazing as Jack, proved he's got the acting chops.
^^^ She didn't reach him for a kiss. lol
She's a midget with a bad bodyshape, but she looks ok sans make up. Got to give her that!
Jake was involved with a drug/alcohol addict.
I'm sure he cringes now thinking about it, but you're right he can't change facts.
1:39 PM
No, it's called good, natural looking makeup.
Drugs/alcohol are not funny though, sorry for loling!
Don't be cause even though the drugs/alcohol aren't a laughing matter, the whole thing is def. lol worthy. LOL
Actually Heath and Michelle split up around April last year but the breakup was made public only in August. He hooked up with Gemma in the fall.
May 25, 2008 10:19 AM
And somebody said on another brd that they(Heath and Jake) saw each other in August '07.
I wish Dr.P would tell us more.
I wish Dr.P would tell us more.
Me too!
Me three.
I don't get why most of Jake's fans don't see that there's something off with them. Even if you believe Jake is straight, you must admit they look awkward together. Lately more then ever!
2:40 PM, any picture of Reeke is good enough for fangirls - they never, ever question anything.
At the same time, not even a gay sex tape would convince them Jake is gay. lol
Dlisted
Jakey Poo is totally checking out some hot ass in the picture above. Reese is thinking, "Why won't Jakey Poo play with my panty hamster?" Sigh.
Here's Jakey and his main fag hag cuddling outside of a restaurant yesterday. Reese is looking like a little pregnant in the belly. This is obviously impossible. You can't get pregnant from "tickle and giggle" sessions. It's just Shirley Temple bloat.
Dlisted
2:51, I'm also not convinced Jake is gay, I think he's bi. But I less and less believe Reeke is real. It seems Jake's not even trying anymore!
But Jake is trying - for example, he did use one arm to hug that nasty midget. lol
It seems Jake's not even trying anymore!
ITA
"she must have got paid heaps for helping Jake get the PoP role! Bearding, fast becoming the best paying job in HW."
They are loading up on the pics now because the party is about to end. Morocco is far away.
Reese has the whole summer off for a reason, she plans on visiting the set in Morocco, just like she visited the Brothers set and the Nailed set.
Why do you consider this loading up? Don't they do these photo ops if not every week, every other week
They seem to be having more fun with them though, playful like last weeks photo ops.
Reese has the whole summer off for a reason, she plans on visiting the set in Morocco, just like she visited the Brothers set and the Nailed set.
We will see if she'll go to Marocco just to have their pictures taken. She should rather spend some quality time with her children.
They seem to be having more fun with them though, playful like last weeks photo ops.
Well maybe I'm just seeing things, but I think he doesn't seem to be into it that much anymore.
... playful like last weeks photo ops
Last week's shopping pics were playful? Well, they were OK.
Beach pics - lame, market pics - horrible, Reese walking Atticus - pathetic.
Reese has the whole summer off for a reason...
Yes, because she has no offers.
They are loading up on the pics now because the party is about to end. Morocco is far away.
So what? He's filming in England as well as Morocco. Either when he comes back to LA or she visits him on set because I have a feeling she will, we'll get more photo ops. I don't see this lousy fauxmance ending any time soon.
No offers=free time to travel!
Jake doesn't seem to be into it anymore?? Go look at some of the pics after Rome and Napa valley, he isn't even touching her. The pics in NY for example. The ones at the market and a few others where he has his arm around her are the same as the ones from this weekend.
The nailed set pics, both sets they are holding hands. If anything she seems a bit not ino it, hiding behind him in one set and not hugging him back when he is hugging her.
He looks more into it then she, i bet she is bored already. Maybe a on set photo op in the UK and Morocco will perk her up.
PS: If you check out the Kiki/Jake pics on IHJ you will see the same giddy, affectionate shots mixed with the bored not holding hands walking behind each other pics, uncanny.
PS: I know you are dissapointed in Jake, but if you look at these pics, the ones from last week and even the 1st set from the Nailed set, it's Jake that is initiating contact, not her.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with 3:43 PM.
Still, Morocco and England are far away from LA and PoP filming will be more demanding.
Jake didn't need all this that's what I truly believe. He doesn't need a high profile real or fake relationship. He should have continued to do smaller, quality movies. He's a solid enough actor, so I doubt he didn't get any such offers. What Jake seems to want, sadly, is attention, with his relationships (real of fake) and he wants to be in big, blockbuster movies. He wants to be a big star. He's not an actor's actor anymore. He should have waited for a more intersting franchise later on in his career, I'm not saying PoP won't be a success, but IDK.
Alas, the transformation may be complete. I don't think he needed this either, he showed what he could do in BBM. It's just amazing to me that a relationship could be played out so in the magazines and media. I've never seen such a thing, although I will admit I've never followed an actor's career before this.
And somebody said on another brd that they(Heath and Jake) saw each other in August '07."
I read this too, supposedly in LA and then Chicago.
He's not an actor's actor anymore.
I don't agree. After TDAT, PoP is second pure pop-corn movie in his career.
What do you want to say 3:57? That he never really was an actor's actor or that TDAT and PoP are just exceptions to the rule?
Jake is an actor's actor. So far TDAT and PoP are just exceptions to the rule.
I wouldn't compare TDAT with PoP.
PoP is a franchise that could catapult him straight to the top. There was no chance TDAT doing this for him!
PoP is a franchise that could catapult him straight to the top.
PoP will be a franchise only if first movie earns big at box office.
Tobey, Orlando, Hayden, Christian and Brendan didn't get catapulted straight to the top after successful franchises.
I wouldn't compare TDAT with PoP.
Same type of movie. Movies where CGI effects and action coreography is more important then actors.
Same type of movie. Movies where CGI effects and action coreography is more important then actors.
I'd still comparte it to Depp's Pirates rather than TDAT from what I've heard.
Why? What's the important difference?
Why? What's the important difference?
TDAT was an environmetal, disaster movie with a message. But PoP will be a fun adventure and love story combined.
What the two movies have in common is the saving the world, but that's the theme in a lot of movies.
TDAT might have an important message but the movie wasn't filmed because of the message and the public didn't watch it for the message. There was adventure and love story in the TDAT too.
Cool PoP artwork
With the news that Jake Gyllenhaal will be starring in a movie version, here is some artwork from the recent Prince of Persia games, sepcifically the last two. Although the live-action movie will be inspired by the game (as opposed to based on it), I wonder if Jake will even compare to the hero of these games.

TDAT was an environmetal, disaster movie with a message. But PoP will be a fun adventure and love story combined.
PoP is great news for Jake and I believe that movie will be a success. PoP will help but I don't believe it will do wonders for his career.
ITA 5:21!
"This B+ film actor is thisclose to being A list. Not only starring in big popcorn flicks, but also big award winning films as well. Portrayed to the media as a strong heterosexual, on the set of his latest film, he fell in love... with a guy. They now live together."
BRENDAN FRASER.
Popcorn flicks: The Mummy series, George of the Jungle.
Award winning: Gods and Monsters, Crash.
PoP will help but I don't believe it will do wonders for his career.
We can't know that!
Are you saying that PoP could flop?
5:45, no, I'm saying, it might help his career more than you think.
It could, but it's not very likely.
Happy Birthday to Sir Ian McKellen!
Nice artwork - this one almost looks like Jake. He could have the long hair but just not so severely blunt cut and parted straight down the middle as the videogame character. The hair, eyes, slight goatee and beard in this artwork is breathtaking.
Prince Dastan
This one is nice too - these drawings show a powerful character, not silliness.
Dastan in the Rain"
One thing we all know for sure, Jake will look gorgeous as Dastan.
Despite of some supposed character weaknesses, we can all agree he is still a very good looking man.
Girls and young women are going to flock to see the movie.
^^Of that we can be sure. Dont' forget some of us old bats will go too. ;)
With the hair in these drawings, it still gives enough of the suggestion of the videogame character's hairstyle that you recognize who it is, but not so severe as to be a caricature.
Q: Doctor Parnassus, what is this 'love that dare not speak its name'?
Doctor Parnassus: That, my funny Valentine, is a phraseology from a 19th century poetical effort by my distant cousin, Lord Freddy "Turtleneck" Douglas. It referred to a deep spiritual affection between two confirmed bachelors. In our less tolerant times, it refers to a deep spiritual affection between two men who are not confirmed bachelors.
This has got to be the best Dr. Parnassus session yet. Very clever. :)
On a forum someone mentioned that Jake's going commando in this pic. I think so too;)
Jake @ DGA
One thing we all know for sure, Jake will look gorgeous as Dastan.
No we don't all know that for sure. I think he's going to look hilarious in the film. Hopefully it wil be very campy!
Oh god, I hope he doesn't try and do an accent. THAT will be laughable.
Doctor Parnassus, where are you? come back to us!
"Oh god, I hope he doesn't try and do an accent."
I hope he does. The campier the better! He might get his first razzie nom if he's lucky!
Actors must be made of pretty strong stuff, to continue to do what they do, and not pay any attention to the naysayers. Some of you sound like you are delighted to imagine someone having misfortune, why I can't guess.
Jake did do an excellent accent (two accents as a matter of fact) in BBM; but I'm not sure he would be able to master a Middle Eastern one. I'm not even sure Johnny Depp or DDL could do one perfectly (and they're master actors in my opinion). But I know if he does one, I will laugh my ass off.
He probably won't need one, where it's a fantasy story and not based on a real character. I'm sure he could do a fine job if need be. If Kevin Costner could play Robin Hood with a Southern California accent, then . . .
My favourite Reeke photos are always the ones where they pretend to be upset by the paps taking photos. They couldn't be more transperant! And reese really needs to stop trying to dress hip. You'll never be hip, dear.
"If Kevin Costner could play Robin Hood with a Southern California accent, then . ."
He was competely ridiculed for that.

Someone call the Whaaambulance!
Yes we know, 12:32 - just sayin' that poor accent, good accent, whatever, the poor bastard can't win, can he? Let's just give it a chance.

Interesting Dlisted comment:
"One of my gay male friends massively fancies Jakey G and they're actually very similar both in looks and mannerisms. My friend is a completely non-queeny gay who hates the camp gay scene and who you'd assume was straight unless you knew otherwise. He's tall and strong, interested in cars and overall quite manly. He only gives it away in small ways like his attention to detail in matters of interior design, home furnishings, clothes etc - the type of things most straight men would never think about in such detail. Jake Gyllenhaal strikes me as one of these. Not overly camp or queeny like you could imagine Tom Cruise or John Travolta could be if they let it out, but just quietly, happily gay. The body language between him and Kirsten Dunst was a total giveaway - there's no way they were a couple, they were like brother and sister. I'm certain he was just her gay best friend/beard."
Oh god, I hope he doesn't try and do an accent.
What accent would be appropriate for a Persian prince?
He could have the long hair but just not so severely blunt cut and parted straight down the middle as the videogame character.
Love that Prince of Persia artwork, drawings are amazing. Can't imagine Jake with the original PoP hairdo without giggling :)
The insider adds that Wentworth has no shame about his gay status, but was concealing it for the sake of his show’s ratings in conservative middle America. “Wentworth is not ashamed or embarassed at all about being gay,” says the insider. “He’s kept quiet and denied being gay for the show’s sake so far. But that was before he fell in love with Luke.”
That is exactly what I heard from another insider - she particularly emphasized that Went is not at all ashamed of his homosexuality, is completely comfortable in his own skin, but has been playing the game at the behest of the network and for what is perceived as the good of the show.
He takes his responsibilities with regard to the success of "PB" extremely seriously - including feeling responsible for the jobs of all the people that work on it - and does not want to do anything to jeopardize that. Given the homophobic attitudes of much of Middle America, I think it's completely understandable he's nervous and cautious on this issue.
Obviously the burden became almost unbearable to him during his relationship with Luke, and he's now playing the game in the most limited way possible ("No comments" to personal questions, etc). The telling thing will be what happens after "PB" ends. From recent comments he's made, it seems pretty clear he is keen for this coming one to be the last season.

HAHAHAHA! Love it.
First link didn't work! Reeke sighting:

It would be awesome to see Wentworth come out soon. Prison Break is definitely a show that caters to a male audience. I remember he made a comment about him not being gay right before the start of last season.
And the last one
Just one more :)
Heath, Jake and Ang
Reeke sighting
I'll believe it after I see the pictures - that blogger is a celebrity magnet. lol
It would be awesome to see Wentworth come out soon.
Yes, it would :) I will depend on his career after the Prison Break but I'm not too optimistic.
Heath :( Looking at these pictures would be so much more fun if he was still alive.
That'll sound fangurlish, but Heath and Jake were perfect together. I've never seen so much chemistry between two people.
"I've never seen so much chemistry between two people."
Me neither.
Fangurlish or not, one can see and feel it in the pictures.
Jogging pics on IHJ now.
The only good thing about all these Reeke pics the last few days, is that Jake is looking to fine for words. All that working out is paying off. PoP will probably suck, but it'll be good to look at Jake for about 2 hours half dressed.

Not sure about Heath but the feelings Jake had for Heath cannot be denied. Take one look at the kiss in the second tent scene of BBM. It tells it all:-)
IHJ - Jogging With Personal Trainer in Brentwood
WENN - Jogging from Santa Monica to Brentwood
Not sure about Heath
I think Heath at least liked him very, very much. But yeah, Jake seemed to have a crush on Heath.
They were so cute together!
Guess the rumors about Jake selling his house and living with Reese are true. He's always photographed in Brentwood or Santa Monica with the Chin. Was hoping that when he left the country to start filming, he could use that distance excuse to finally end the phonymance, but guess his contract with the devil isn't up yet.

Completely agree Tom, that and the reunion kiss. The look on Jake's face says a lot. I know people say it's just great acting but I think one can't fake it like that.
Ang Lee on Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Chemistry Onscreen:
“The chemistry I pretty much played in my head because nobody sees. I didn’t see it. I just imagined they were a good couple. I cast Heath very much as the short story required. I did something quite different with Jake. In the novel, he is even stronger, bulkier, shorter, very rough. And Jake, of course, is more like a city boy. I think he is a good romantic lead and I think he is a good counterpart to Heath.
I cast Jake first and then Heath. I was hoping I would meet somebody like Heath. As soon as I met Heath, I imagined they would be a good match for a romantic love story. The first time I met them together we were in L.A. in a restaurant. So, that was the first time all three of us were together.”

Nonsense.

Chin's time is very precious.
I definitely dont see reeke running off to Morrocco. First I think she would be afraid she might catch something. reeke made an appearance in SC because she has friends or family there. She also has friends in MV where she made an appearance last summer.
She may have friends in MV,(The Belushis)but she has never been spotted there before according to residents there, and Reese and the kids were spotted with Jake and his family so she wasn't there just to see the Belushis.
It looks like her summer is free according her IMDB page, if not Morocco definately the UK, why not?
Don't right off Morocco either.
Her family has a vacation home in Charleston, so expect more visits until he is finished fiming.

Looks like PR will continue to be her most important job.
PR is Jake's job too! Those jogging pics are nothing but another photo-op!
There's a difference - Jake has an acting job (or two) at the moment.

Yes, they need to show him getting into shape for PoP especially after the way the news of him being cast as the prince has been received. His PR needs to make him interesting and appealing again, too bad it ain’t working.
Don't get why they still feel the need to continue the Reeke show. Obiviously, Reese is in control and she's gotten all she can from it. She's shown her fans she can move on from a failed marriage and get a good looking boyfriend who is sensitive and caring and loves her kids. Jake shows he likes girls and kids and is sensitive and caring at the same time. But, now that even the most fannish sites-Just Jared, PopSugar & even IHJ-have people leaving comments that they look awkward and look like a fake couple, their PR firm and them should just cut their losses. It would make the both of them look so much better in the public eye.
IDK, he's spending an awful lot of time with someone who's just his beard!

His beard and shopping companion.
