Jake Gyllenhaal Should Be In This Hole


The person who did the subtitles on Instagram for the trailer for Guy Ritchie's new film The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal deserves an Oscar for making the above gif possible -- it's all I ever wanted, all I ever dreamed of, that gif. From now on that gif is my reaction to everything, literally everything. Anyway yes the trailer for The Covenant is here and...

... you wouldn't know it from the gifs I am posting here but it's not just a movie about bearded Jake laying in bed in varying states of undress talking about being in holes -- it's a military thriller where he goes back to Afghanistan to rescue the interpreter who'd saved his life. But then we already knew that, since I have talked about that twice over now. What I will add, since I have only expressed skepticism with regards to this minefield of a project before, is this is a solid trailer and maybe it won't be as fraught as I worried. Watch yourself and see:



This movie is out on April 21st. But wait...

... that's not the only Jake Movie News today! Which marks this as a blessed one -- some days, some weeks, pass without any Jake news. Also news today is Jake is currently filming his Apple+ series re-do of Presumed Innocent in Los Angeles, and he's been spotted a couple of times on the set! There are more photos at Just Jared right here (thx Mac) and also some photos here at IHJM too. He looks all appropriately lawyery above but the jeans below are kindy doofy, aren't they? Is this a period-piece, or are jeans like that coming back into style? Oh god no.

Jake looks so much better clean shaven or with scruff

I love Jake with a full thick beard and long hair!!!! Mmmmmm!😋

Jake, he's hot yes, long hair, no problem, untrimmed or bushy beards is just messy. Just my opinion

Eh. I've totally lost trust in Jake when it comes to picking projects. He seems way too attracted to tough guy, "alpha male" stuff, like he's always trying to prove how masculine he is. It's so far away from what I loved about him in Donnie Darko.
