The Jake Gyllenhaal Movie News Round-Up

.

First things first, this post is illustrated with two new pictures from his upcoming "Jeepers creepers where'd you get my peepers?" doppelganger thriller called An Enemy (via), in which we'll have not one, not one and a half, not one and three quarters, but two count them two Jake Gyllenhaals on screen at once. 

Seen above, the two of them are standing beside a bed. You know where I am going with this - hell, I'm well past gone, I can't type fast enough to keep up with those thoughts. If you have read Jose Saramago's book, and I do recommend it, it's terrific, then you probably know what is going on in the picture above, and if they keep to the source material while it isn't as good as all the sexy things I am imagining, it's not bad, and I would like to see it. Sorry to be vague, I don't want to spoil anything. And my vagueness is presumably titillating all on its own, eh? Down below is a shot of Jake with what I believe is his co-star Sarah Gadon (aka David and Brandon Cronenberg's Current Favorite Actress) - I say "what I believe is" because I still haven't totally gotten a handle on her features - she's kind of a slippery one, isn't she? I suppose that's what the Cronenbergs like about her.

Okay so in other Jake news, and yes there is other Jake news, isn't that nice? He spent so much time in monastic bearded seclusion it seemed like (yeah yeah he was in a play blah blah blah I saw that play and it wasn't worth the screen absence, no matter what Lucille Lortel is saying).

So in new news, he's signed on to star in something called Nightcrawler, which has nothing to do with the blue devil Alan Cumming played in the X-Men movies, nor will Jake be voicing a happy-go-lucky worm leaving the country to try and make a go of it in the big city (I would watch that, by the way). It's about, and I quote, "a driven young man who discovers the nocturnal world of L.A. freelance crime journalism." Mkay. Somehow this involves Rene Russo, who is his co-star. It was written by and will be directed by Dan Gilroy, the brother of Tony Gilroy (director of Michael Clayton and the last Bourne movie). Welcome back, J-dawg!
