From Variety:
"Gyllenhaal, Maguire eye 'Brothers'
Duo in talks for Sheridan remake
By TATIANA SIEGEL
Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal are in negotiations to star in Jim Sheridan's "Brothers" for Relativity Media.
The film, a remake of Susanne Bier's Danish-language war drama, centers on a man (Maguire) who is sent to fight in Afghanistan while his black-sheep brother (Gyllenhaal) cares for his wife and child.
Bier's film, which was released in 2004, stars Connie Nielsen, Ulrich Thomsen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas.
In the remake, which David Benioff is writing, Gyllenhaal would play the younger brother and Maguire the older one.
"Brothers" is scheduled to begin shooting in early November.
Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh is producing alongside Michael De Luca and Joni Sighvatsson.
Relativity most recently produced the Russell Crowe-Christian Bale starrer "3:10 to Yuma," which recently opened at No. 1.
Gyllenhaal, whose credits include "Zodiac" and "Brokeback Mountain," most recently starred in "Rendition," which unspooled last week at the Toronto Film Festival.
Maguire is hot on the heels of Sony's "Spider-Man 3" and also recently appeared in "The Good German.""
UPDATE BLOG NOTE: 9:30 EST Userplane Chat seems up and back.
Don't think Jake's Red Sox hat wearing has gone unnoticed by this Sox fan. It is too good not for it to have its own post!

Sounds great.
I spread the word at FCC and AwardsDaily(formerly Oscarwatch). :)
If he is coming out, seems the suits are OK with it.
Heph
This does sound good. I always say he makes good career choices.
And fortunately, I think Austin is making good career choices too.
Jake playing a black sheep? I like. And I like Jim Sheridan. :)
And writer David Benioff is married to actress Amanda Peet who used to go out with Brian Van Holt who used to work with.....
Six degrees
:D
I remember Amanda Peet - had no idea she once went out with BvH.
Who will play Tobey's wife / Jake's love interest?
Great news to wake up to. I agree, good career choices by both Jake and Austin.
Here's a little more info Brothers.
I hope this is true. Sounds like it would be a great next role for Jake, one that would require him to stretch quite a bit more as an actor.
More Austin at ACL with shirt on
Thanks blue velvet. Two observations: Austin is wearing earplugs (good boy) and not wearing the big blue ring. If we didn't have the picture of the new ring I would be sad.
Thanks Blue for the pic!
"Jake Gyllenhaal (wearing a Boston Red Sox baseball hat) and unidentified date leaving the restaurant August in the West Village after having brunch together and separating immediately after seeing a photographer, to avoid being photographed together. After going separate ways, they both got on their cell phones to speak to each other. 9.16.07"

Here's hoping that this movie really is a done deal, and not just more of the same. It would be great to see him playing a bad sheep.
So they were spotted by a photographer and went separate ways yet that photographer knows exactly what both did.
Did he split himself in two?
Still, anything that wipes the smug smiles off the faces of the Jeesers is okay with me.
The Sox lost last night and their lead is only 3 1/2 over the Yankees, but Jake in a Sox cap -- that makes up for it. : )
Here's hoping that this movie really is a done deal, and not just more of the same.
Info is all over the Net, just like Rendition was last year - I think it is a done deal.
I hope so to 9:35.
Is there a name that we can put to your post?
9:35 was who'sthat in the hurry :)
Thanks Who's That aka In A Hurry!
What do you guys make of the new Lainey Jeese report?
(Lainey has a real thing for Jeese.)
She posted the report 10 days after the event?!
Was she the one who talked nonsense about Toronto, Joaquin Phoenix and ménage à trois?
What does she say?
I hope hjulia puts the extra Austin pics on AustinMedia - I can't see them here :(
Lainey - copy/paste from WFT:
How does this from Time...
This week's hot Hollywood couple, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, danced briefly but divinely last night at a beyond-posh Toronto Film Festival party co-sponsored by TIME magazine.
Turn into this from Lainey...?
Inside the event, Time Magazine’s Richard Corliss spotted the two dancing intimately, and other observers spied a brief but very hot liplock.
Lainey implies in her version there is more meaning than Mr Corliss may have actually meant in his own words. All he said was "briefly and divinely", which could mean anything from romantically to just well-mannered.
Lainey's version is like Chinese whispers, adding chemistry along the chain that may never have been originally implied.

Have a look at Austinmedia for a treat scylla.
Thanks who'sthat and gc. :) *
Hjulia just posted a sighting of Jake on WFT. But go to this link to see more photos of Austin and also a sighting of Jake!!!
Again I bow to Hjulia!
And blue! OMG has Jake got a time machine?
The Wilco show: Sunday, 6:30 - 7:45
Maybe he saw those pictures and decided he needed to get down to Austin to Austin lickety-split.
He could have gotten to Austin in time for the show, if you factor the hour time difference in and if he took either a direct or a private flight.
Happy, happy.
There is a bigger version of the picture of Austin at the club at the source website.
And he is officially a VIP!
I'm assuming the girl is the same as the one in the shirtless pictures and her face does somehow resemble Austins, so I think it really is his sister.
His hair has more highlights in it than his sisters. But I don't think it is from the sun ;-) I wonder if Austin is using the same hair colourist that Jake uses?
I'm really not that observant. I didn't know and never noticed Jake used a hair colorist.
So they were both at ACL... Special, you got the song "Happy Together" in your jukebox?
