Movie Preview: Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal in Crazy Heart

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:36:05 -0800

The trailer for Crazy Heart notes that both stars Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal have been nominated for Oscars, and the solemn, raw tone of the film looks an awful lot like awards show bait for these two big talents. Jeff Bridges stars as Bad Blake, a grizzled, hard-livin', lovin', and drinkin' country singer/songwriter who's known for his amazing music, and Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the journalist he eventually falls for.

We don't see a ton of plot in the trailer, but the story seems like a familiar one, complete with introspection and a soft country anthem that fits the title. Colin Farrell and Robert Duvall also star in the film, which features original songs by celebrated songwriter T-Bone Burnett.

To see the trailer and predict for yourself if this is one you're going to be seeing in the Oscar race, just read more.

Jake Gyllenhaal May Be Thrilling Audiences With Source Code

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0800

It seems so long since we've seen Jake Gyllenhaal on screen (2007 in Rendition, to be exact), so I'm glad that we're about to get a lot more of him. Next month we'll catch him in Brothers, then in the Spring all buffed up in Prince of Persia - and he won't be slowing down. Gyllenhaal is in talks to star in the sci-fi thriller Source Code.

The geeky-titled flick is about a soldier (ostensibly played by Gyllenhaal) who "wakes up in the body of an unknown commuter and is forced to live and relive a harrowing train bombing until he can determine who is responsible for it." These days it seems like Gyllenhaal is balancing his more emotional roles (like in Brothers) with some aggressive action flicks. I don't mind - whatever the genre, I'm just happy to welcome him back to the theater.

Jake Has a Day Out With Dad

PopSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:00:04 -0700

Jake Gyllenhaal spent yesterday afternoon walking in NYC with his dad Stephen. The father-son outing included shopping before heading back home in a taxi. It was a nice little break for Jake, who has been spending the last few weeks working on Love and Other Drugs in Pittsburgh. His costar in the film, Anne Hathaway, also managed to fit in a trip to the Big Apple, but it doesn't look like Reese was able to join Jake in New York for the weekend.

The Gyllenhaal Gang including Ramona

PopSugar — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:36:03 -0800

Looks like a walk is good for everyone after a weekend of holiday eating. The tight-knit family unit that is the Gyllenhaals were seen walking their daughter and their dog this weekend. Check out baby Ramona! Mommy Maggie is having quite the year. She's engaged, a new mommy, and her acting career continues to thrive. To top it off she just won the best actress award for her role in the film Sherrybaby at the Stockholm Film Festival this weekend. Here's more:

"Sherrybaby," directed by Laurie Collyer, was named best picture. Collyer won the Bronze Horse award for "a pure and heartbreaking work about survival and dignity," the festival jury said Sunday.

The film follows a young woman recently released from prison who tries to reconnect with her young daughter while confronting her old life and drug abuse.

"It takes you on a desperate quest for love, through a landscape of struggle, guilt and broken dreams which at times is hard to watch yet impossible to forget," the jury said.

It seems like quite a far cry from her real life. Still, the fame doesn't seem to be getting to her head. It looks like Maggie skipped the event this weekend to hang out with her family. For more pics of the Gyllenhaal/Sarsgaard clan just read more

Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia - See it or Skip it?

PopSugarUK — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:26:36 -0800

Last summer, we saw a lot of Jake Gyllenhaal in London with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon as he worked on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in the UK. He stars in the movie alongside Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley, and the trailer has just been released! It's not out until May 2010, but check out this action packed preview and let me know - do you think you'll see it, or skip it?

Movie Preview: Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:30:43 -0800

I've been waiting on a trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for what feels like forever (more specifically, ever since those first photos of Jake all buff and shirtless).

The preview starts off strong, immediately taking us on an adventure quest that doesn't make any attempt to hide its video game origins. The effects are amazing, though I couldn't help snickering the first time Gyllenhaal speaks in a British accent. The good news is that it looks like the movie has some campy elements and a sense of humor along with all that in-your-face flair. We'll have to wait until Memorial Day 2010 for more, but to see the trailer, just read more.

Maggie and Peter Bring Jake Along For a Fun Time in France

PopSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:32 -0700

Maggie Gyllenhaal was in Paris over the weekend to promote her film, SherryBaby, but she turned her business trip into a family vacation with her husband Peter Sarsgaard and brother Jake. She was all dressed up for a few press appearances, though she also went casual to join the boys for a walk around the city and lunch at a cafe on Sunday. They were in Europe just last month to celebrate Maggie and Peter's wedding in Italy with Reese, though this time they were missing one member of their foursome.

Jake Is Maggie and Peter's Biggest Fan

PopSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 10:00:04 -0800

Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister shared a laugh backstage after she and Peter Sarsgaard took the stage together kicking off their run of Uncle Vanya last night. From there, the trio headed to the afterparty. Maggie and Peter recently talked about living in Brooklyn and why they chose off Broadway to work together:

Peter: "It is only about the experience of doing it, and with your lover; why would we engage in anything any other way than that? Why would we join forces commercially? It would be --"
Maggie: "Kind of disgusting."
The duo also joked about not being paparazzi targets like the Cruises and Maggie's mom trying to move in with them a la Michelle Obama's in the White House. Peter and Maggie may be a quieter kind of celebrity couple, but they certainly know how to turn on the charm when they want to.

Reese And Jake Return From Their Italian Wedding Jaunt

PopSugarUK — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:18:06 -0700

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal made their way through LAX on Monday, after returning from their European holiday. Reese arrived in Milan on Thursday to spend the weekend with her man at Maggie Gyllenhaal's wedding to fellow actor Peter Sarsgaard in Brindisi. The couple looked tanned and relaxed as they made their way through the airport - I wonder if the trip got them thinking about wedding bells a little closer to home in the future. Would you like to see Reese and Jake tie the knot?

Jake Gyllenhaal Finds Coffee, but No Love on Set

PopSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Jake Gyllenhaal was all business other than his footwear - sandals with socks - on the set of Love and Other Drugs in Pittsburgh, PA yesterday. The actor isn't letting himself go after training for his role in Prince of Persia as we saw from his sleeveless wardrobe last week, but this time he kept his toned biceps under wraps. Reese is a few short hours away on her own movie set in Philadelphia, but the two lovebirds are no strangers to popping in to visit each other while they're hard at work.
