Jake Gyllenhaal's new movie, End of Watch, hits theaters today and last week we had a chance to sit down with the cast at the Toronto International Film Festival after their world premiere.

David also revealed that the best-buddy and cop partner relationship shown on screen between Jake and Michael Peña wasn't easy from the start. Check out our chat, and watch our interview with Jake G, Anna Kendrick, and the rest of the End of Watch crew at TIFF.

Penelope Cruz stunned in a pink Atelier Versace dress last night at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Twice Born, formerly titled Venuto al Mondo. She walked the press line to chat with fans and reporters, then linked up with costar Emile Hirsch and director Sergio Castellitto to introduce their work. Earlier in the day, the trio were together for another press event. Penelope Cruz wore a purple Emilio Pucci suit to their afternoon photocall.
It seems Penelope's husband, Javier Bardem, didn't join her for the Italian-language movie's debut. Javier's got a lot on his own plate at the moment, with the release of the next James Bond film, Skyfall, in which he stars as the villain, around the corner in November. Plus, he and Penelope are logging plenty of time together working on Ridley Scott's new project, The Counselor, in London.

Diane Kruger donned Valentino Couture to join her boyfriend, Joshua Jackson, at the Toronto International Film Festival debut of Inescapable last night.

Nonetheless, the premiere brought Josh back to his native Canada along with German-born Diane. In fact, Josh has been spending a great deal of time in his motherland shooting Fringe in Vancouver. Diane's been keeping company with Josh north of the border, but has also ventured to their homes in LA and Paris over the last month to focus on some of her own work.
