That there is a picture of Jake giving his final bow at Othello's final performance last week -- and no I never saw it since tickets cost a billion point five billion dollars apiece, marking the first time I missed Jake on stage in NYC. Boo hiss whatever they didn't get any Tony nominations I got my revenge. I'm not here to dance on that bitter grave though -- I'm here because there's Jake News! Jake News! His production company got Amazon to shell out seven figures for the rights to an as-yet unpublished short story called Code Black, which is about a heart surgeon who finds "himself led into a trap where his guile and genius become the only way to stop a plot that threatens both his family and the nation." Mkay. Could be fun! A tight little real-time thriller hopefully -- something a la Red Eye is what I'm picturing. Doesn't sound like a lot of opportunity for Jake to cry in the shower but I'm sure he'll have them write a scene in. He's good like that.

I didn't think I could watch Jake in just ANYTHING, even though I love him, until I watched "The Guilty" this weekend. It's just him yelling by himself for an hour and a half, and I was riveted. The phrase doesn't exist anymore because phone books don't exist, but I could watch him reading an ancient phone book.
The script in The Guilty is the real star of that film.
