There were two screenings of Lenexa, 1 Mile on October 25th, a $50-a-seat fundraiser for the KC Film Commission at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and a festival screening at 9 that night. It was expected that director Wiles and Chris Klein would be the stars that would be there for the screening, but it looked like it was Jason Ritter, and Austin, who attended with Jason.
'Lenexa 1 Mile' was shot in the KC area in 2005, the writing/directing debut of actor Jason Wiles (TV’s “Third Watch”). The movie was filmed in Kansas City, the suburban community of Johnson County, and at Kelly’s, a popular bar in the artist/entertainment district of Westport in Kansas City.
The cast also includes Jennifer Hall, Paul Wesley, Josh Stewart and William Baldwin, Michael Rooker and Michael Beach.
Check out the hair on Austin in the trailer. It looks like he has a go to Indie/80's cut, except for Lenexa he upped the ante with a little razor work on the sides. And you know that was probably his idea. That hair and those acid washed jeans, the boy looks like he is ready to head to Chess King for a pair of parachute pants .
No worries about missing Lenexa, 1 mile. It is scheduled to come out on DVD. Another DVD to add to the must have list.
And because there is never a bad time for a blonde Austin, here's another look:

ReplyDeleteOT: Sean Penn and Robin Wright are divorcing. Ted has not too subtly hinted several times recently that there were problems in that marriage and they seemed estranged.
Brendan Fraser is divorcing too.
Great to come back from my Christmas break to find not only a blond Austin, but a tantalising Austin sighting! How frustrating that we know which flight his "pals" got on - but not Austin. Let's hope it was NY, but it would be great to have a sighting of him there for some confirmation.
ReplyDeleteWhen was that sighting of Jake and an "equally gorgeous actor" friend in NY acting like they didn't want to be seen? 2006 sometime? I'm really beginning to think that NY is where Jake and Austin meet up to avoid the publicity.
Okay, I have to say Austin doesn't look too bad as a blonde! I was fearing the worst. I really hate the shaved sides, though.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to check out the hair in the trailer then. Whoa! Total 80's flashback.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or does it seem like all the celebs are either getting a DUI, pregnant, or divorced?
ReplyDeleteWhen do we get to see The Informers?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of films, Zodiac is on most of the year end top movie lists!
ReplyDeleteWhen is Lenexa coming out on DVD?
ReplyDeleteThere is no date given for the DVD release of Lenexa on Jason Wiles' website yet. We will have to keep our eyes open for it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I watched this once before and because it's ensemble I kept missing Austin :) But the more you watch the more he's stand-out pretty (even with bad hair) and wow, what beautiful arms!
ReplyDeleteI read something today about Jake being in LA last Friday taping something with Andy Samberg. I'll try to find it.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to see that, London. It would make one wonder if that LJ sighting from 12/22 was legit.
Sorry guys, scratch that - it was a today's date review on his blogspot of how Andy Samberg did the Iran sketch. I haven't quite got the hang of blogsearch yet :) Expect three-year-old Jausty sightings for a couple of days yet :D

London I watch the video all the time. I just know it was Jake telling us that he still cares. He is just off busy at work right now and a big part of his job is jeese.
That was most definitely a gay friendy video and Jake was a big part of it.
Here's the Jeese story verbatim from Life and Style-
ReplyDeleteReese's very special Christmas with Jake
Reese Witherspoon celebrated the holidays a little early so she could be with her beau, Jake Gyllenhaal, 27. An insider says the couple spent five days together in San Francisco, where Reese, 31, has been filming the romantic comedy Four Christmases. "Reese couldn't be with Jake on Christmas," says the insider. "She and Ryan [Phillipe, Reese's ex-husband] agreed to have Christmas together for the sake of their kids, Deacon and Ava. The children need their dad in their lives, and Jake's okay with that."
Story includes Rendition photocall pic with the caption- "The couple exchanged gifts about two weeks before Christmas." Also has the Jeese and kids SF pic with the caption- "Jake spent time with Reese (and Deacon, 4) in San Francisco on Dec. 8."
Wicked again I see all of this leading to the reason for the break up. Reese kids come first and Jake just has to let Reese go.
ReplyDeleteHis heart will be broken.
And Jake could spend his Christmas holiday in NYC with someone else.
ReplyDelete*wink*
Now hmmmm.... 2 weeks equals 14 days and subtract that from the 25th wouldn't their celebration be around 11th, and didn't Jake spend hours shopping with Maggie at Cartier in BH on the 13th? And the picture from SF with Deacon and Ava on the December the 8th in SF?
ReplyDelete^^Hi All, I hope so, Me! I don't know about that Life & Style story. So they didn't spend Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Jake's birthday, or Christmas together? I do hope a certain couple were in New York together for Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is no way Reese and Ryan spent anytime together at Christmas that is crazy. Yes I am sure they needed to both be in LA for Christmas so the kids could see both. If Jake and Reese have been together for as long as it is being made to appear then they would have been together for Turkey Day, Xmas or at least Jake's BDay. Lets see what happens NYs eve. I wonder what Jake will get her for Valentines day. I am sure Maggie will pick it out.
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of this crap......

Until proven otherwise this is what I will believe netb.
I know what netb amd special will be doing tomorrow night
Special keep ur mitts off of him. The blonde is mine.......
Those are fighting words Jersey Boy.
ReplyDeleteI am hopped up on novacaine amd meds from the dentist office today. Bring it on. But we know who's he really is. : )
Now that QT/QB doppleganger -- oh my! And here in Boston, the Pats game is going to be on not only CBS, NBC but the ABC station as well.
Tom, I'd say if we get through Valentine's Day, we're home free! It is getting tiresome, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteOn a happier note, I saw a pic of NPH and David Burtka arriving in Hawaii for New Year's, looking very cute together!
You're right, Tom, watching the Patriotics and Giants! :)

ReplyDeleteLOL Spesh! ;)
I really do think it sounds as if Austin, despite being from Texas, didn't return there on the 21st. Think he spent it with Jake in NY - quite possibly?
ReplyDeleteFunny little comment made by Reel Girl on her Best and Worst of Films on E! Online
ReplyDeleteBiggest Waste of Time: Rendition
So what if Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal got together on the set of this earnest clunker? Couldn't they have just hooked up through their publicists or something?
Spesh, I did the same math you did. Star says very clearly that Jake bought Reese's necklace on the 13th and Life and Style insinuates that they exchanged gifts on the SF weekend, which was before he bought the necklace. Somebody at the mags forgot to coordinate. That Star article really read as a blatant advertisement for Cartier. I hold Star accountable for that one!
ReplyDeleteThere is no way Reese and Ryan spent anytime together at Christmas that is crazy.
Tom, I think it's very likely they did spend time together at Christmas. It's what good, divorced parents do and I think Reese and Ryan are good, divorced parents. Did they spent tons of time together? Probably not. Did they spend some time together so their kids could see them both? Probably yes. But having to do that does not have to completely preclude Reese from seeing Jake during the holidays.
I think we may need to separate Spesh and Tom! Don't make me turn this car around, guys!
Just thinking off the top of my head(which is dangerous)...
ReplyDeleteGot to wondering how the LAX sightings slipped through the Cone of Silence. With the exception of ACL, there has been nothing that could put Jake and Austin in the same place and time since Borders in May. (Living in LA doesn't count here)
An honest bungle, deliberate, or a combination of the two?
Or perhaps I'm just straw grasping here. (And, yes, I know I just handed the trolls the perfect opening)
Well there is one other thing since ACL - Ted's NY detective seeing them in NY in September.
ReplyDeleteBut I get exactly what you are saying ME. : )
I agree, Wicked, spending time together with the kids does not completely preclude Reese from seeing Jake. Me, I like to think that the little bit of info was our holiday gift. I'm reaching too, I know. :)
ReplyDeleteWell there is one other thing since ACL - Ted's NY detective seeing them in NY in September.
ReplyDeleteDouble date and dinner with Chelsea?
Good point Who's That! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOK, I missed NYC twice. But, both were BEFORE Reeke went into high gear in October. Austin at LAX, Jake in NYC was after.
ReplyDeleteJJ (from JJ's dirt) still thinks Jake/Reese are a fake. He recently went on CTV to give his celebrity resolutions for 2008. Here's what he said about Reese:
ReplyDeleteReese Witherspoon
Reese is a beautiful lady but she is one lost woman. Every since her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe cheated on her she has been a mess. Her public affection with now-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal looks as bad as did Ryan Seacrest with Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher.
There's no reason why Jake and Reese wouldn't have had time to spend together on any of these holidays or other occasions. It's not as though Reese had to spend 48 straight hours alone with just Ryan and the kids. You'd think Reese would have picked up a few tips about juggling her holiday time while filming "Four Christmases". ;)
ReplyDeleteIt does make me think that J&A may have spent a lot more time together than we'll ever know. Besides, how could Jake possible resist blond Austin? Reese's blonde locks would just make me think about how much I was missing him.
Here's what the "celebpsychic" has to say about Jake/Reese for 2008. (This I find VERY funny):
ReplyDelete"I am afraid that I am getting no romantic vibes coming from Reese and Jake. I am sure there are somewhat in love and like to be in each others arms at night but I do not see their relationship making any major waves for 2008."
Hi everybody, hope you all had a great christmas:)
ReplyDeleteThe reason i can`t comment too much these days is because i`ve simply lost about all interest in Jake`s/Austin`s personal life. Sad i think, as i love this place and WFT. To me, you mean so much more than them, but still... they`re your main focus and i will and have to live by that rule! I`ve said what i think i needed to do about Jeese. I know it`s not much positive, but that`s what i felt and still feel.
I still feel this way...you know, it`s fake. It`s so fake i have to laugh of the tabloid-stories because they`re so funny, but it`s for entertainment only, i don`t feel sad.
Even though i don`t have much positive to say about Jake`s behaviour these days, i don`t think i have to repeat my inner thoughts, that ain`t that positive, every week. Neither do i want to lie and pretend i`m as interested as i was in his or Austins personal life as i was some months ago.
I know it`s Hollywood and they feel they have to go through this. I don`t think they had to do this to this level. I mean..., leave the kids out of this please, i have three of my own. Just one thing i dislike.
My heart has gone someplace else. Who the hell knows which kind of direction that "not totally predictable piece of body-piece", will head next? I wish i knew!!!
Well, mine has gone to Neil and David, Gro and Katja... (How could you??)
I won`t forget about the boys and i hope i will get interested in them again as a couple...but i just can`t decide that by my mind. I just have to wait and see:) Love you guys, nomatter what!!!
((((NG))))
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will find a reason to come back to visit us. You have been such a great part of OMG. You will be missed so greatly.
We don't want to lose you, but understand when people feel that they need to follow their hearts.
Please stay in touch!

ReplyDeleteDon't rush, darling, into a serious relationship so soon after a divorce! You'll need time to regroup. H. Winston Cartier and myself took it slow, he gave me all the time I needed to adjust. Don't let a man dazzle you with rings and baubles until you are ready!
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was my post above, darlings, didn't want to get deleted!
Been thinking about this report of Jake looking at engagement rings before finally settling on a necklace. But why would he need to ring shop at all? Wouldn't he have one already from when he proposed to Reese and she turned him down? Or didn't he try to give her a ring then?
ReplyDeleteNG, we hope you will come back and visit from time to time. :)
My dear Wicked, I so agree. Too many fish in the sea to settle down just yet, best to wait for the (preferrably very large) diamond ring on your finger, darling. Did I ever tell you about my fling with that Italian rogue Ferragamo Bulgari? Or nights in Geneva with my Swiss ski instructor Tag Heuer? This was long before I met Harry, you understand. Oh, I've said too much already, I don't want you darlings to get the wrong impression of me. Bon Soir for now!
ReplyDelete:D :D Tiff, is your mum JW's own Madame Swiss? I always liked her even during the blog wars.
ReplyDeleteNice detective work on the timing, guys. Another mis-match are the Maggie reports - her supportiveness varies so much from mag to mag. There will probably be pics for Valentine's, or even before.
((NG))- I find it hard to transfer the affection though I definitely see the comedic side these days and am definitely less interested in Jake. Austy keeps me rapt, because nothing he's appeared in conflicts with how he's living. Or maybe just cos I find him cute :)
London tb, I think the overall sweetness factor of Austin keeps quite a few people rapt.
ReplyDeleteOn another topic, thanks to today's Guardian I've just discovered the delights of Google trends, www.google.com/trends, hours of fun for all the family.
One of the most encouraging things I find coming from the Reeke debacle (and they are few and far between) is the overall lack of interest in them. I'm pretty sure when this was all planned out they thought that Reese and Jake together were actually going to become a much hotter couple than has proved to be the case.
Since what people enter into search engines reflects the level of interest in a person / subject, comparing Reese & Jake, with say Brad and Angelina, shows how badly this whole pr exercise is going. Brad and Ang outrank Reeke by at least 10 to 1,(sadly, checking just Jake Gyllenhaal shows how the poor lad's rather lost his lustre over the past year, hopefully a Reeke free 2008 will reverse that trend).
meg, are you lurker tb? I've been dying to ask :) Can't reply till later.
