The Way Back After Tomorrow

Prehistoric Jake

"I knew I wanted to have good actors who had some talent. But I didn't want someone to say, `Oh, look, there's Jake Gyllenhaal running after a mammoth.' "

- Roland Emmerich, director of "10,000 B.C.," on his reluctance to hire familiar faces.

Jake Animal hunter. Dressed in animal skins pursuing the Mammoth. Wouldn't have been too hard on the eyes. And it seems like Austin had been working on a character like that for a long time. But it wasn't too be.

Roland mentioning Jake is a reminder of The Day after Tomorrow, and a mysterious mention of an actor's trailer that blew up on set in Montreal, in an interview with co-star Arjay Smith.


When you look back on filming, is there one day of filming that sticks out in your mind?

Wow. There’s one day that sticks out in mind but it wasn’t a filming day. The whole shoot was just awesome, everybody was just pleasant. But one day one of our actor’s trailers blew up and that was a frantic day. Thank God they weren’t in there.
It seems too much gas was pumped into the trailer. But who's trailer was it? Was it a chicken with shallots experiment gone wrong? : ) Anyone else remember hearing of a trailer blowing up?





Wonder what this would have looked like in 10,000 B.C. costuming. Well Austin could've taken his shirt off again.

Dunno, weren't there rumors of spontaneous combustion in a trailer during the filming of JFC? ;)

I once looked into the eyes of a guy I was interested in and we both literally heard a clap of thunder . . . does that count? ;) LOL

Well we know it wasn't Arjay's. It would probably been mentioned if it had been Jake's or Emmy's. Could it have been Austin's since he was one actor who was in the movie the whole time (therefore scoring a trailer) and didn't do that many interviews?

If it was his, I'm sure that Jake was gracious offering his trailer to share until everything was fixed. ; )

anybody here considered the possibility Jake and Reese had a fight regarding yesterdays pics...May be Jake didn't want the picture of Reese, mom and him together or something like that that. May be Reese didn't know in advance Jake's mom was attending the screening and when she found out had some kind of argument with Jake, and finally left separate, no reeke pictures as original planned. I'm not saying yesterday was the end of phoneyspoon, just saying may be yesterday was a particular day because of Naomi who showed up there (or some other reason)...Because it's totally hilarious how these two missed the photo op. It's weird but it's not casual.

I doubt it. Reese had her own car as did Jake, so that means that they arrived seperately, why would she leave her car and leave with Jake and his Mom? It's possible that she didn't know that his Mom was going as well, but still she arrived in her own car. Also they already had their photo op earlier during the yoga class, and although they have done more than one in a day, i don't think his manager, Sheridan and his Mom would be a part of it.

I think that they were actually ambushed, maybe the people doing the screening tipped off the paps. I don't think they would expose Sheridan to that. There are no pics of them arriving but leaving, so they spotted them, IMO Reese left, then the rest came out after, spoiling the $$$ shot not only of Reese, Jake and Mom, but Jake and his Mom as well.

From People:

• Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, taking a yoga class together at Santa Monica studio Yogahop. "They were really cute together," a source tells us. Witherspoon (whose divorce from Ryan Phillippe was recently finalized) is a regular at the studio, but it was Gyllenhaal's first time there. "Reese was making sure he was comfortable," says the source. "They left a bit early and he seemed happy to go through it and be with her. He was really nice and seemed like a really cool dude."

Classic PR

What a cute pic of a young Austin. I bet the girls, and boys for that matter, were gaga over him in high school. I'll keep asking the same question though. Where the hell is he?

It did appear as thought R wasn't too happy as she left the screening yesterday. Hmmmm. Do wonder where Austin is.

I think that thunderclap I mentioned was just the Gods' way of tellin' me the guy was bad news. ;)

Anonymous said...

R doesn't look happy at all in those pics, that's way I thought she had some kind of argument with Jake over the photo op. Yeah, they always arrive in separate cars but always pose for a set of pics and that didn't happen this time for some reason. She looks like she regrets attending the screening.

Very cute and funny, Special. I love how you always manage to find the perfect photos to complement your posts.

I know Jake and Reese are rich enough to afford any car, but the car Reese was driving looks like Jake's Mercedes. I've never seen Reese driving a Mercedes and I think Jake still has his and the camry. Does not mean she does'nt have one though. Just saying.

He was probably trying to take his shirt off all the time on that set anyway.
And I'm not going to say who I mean by "he"... ;)

Stubborn TB: Nice to see you around. Germany is going to make it to the quarter-finals. You must be glued to the telly, yeah?
Haven't seen you in a while either. Good to know you're still around.

About the game: I have to admit I haven't yet watched any of the games since I'm not that interested in soccer.
And you have no idea what kind of reaction I get when I say that to a fellow German...
I might let myself get talked into watching the final game though.

Thank you :) I'd seen it :)

I love this photo of Austin and buddy, Spesh * I wonder, though, if it was his trailer he'd probably have made a funny self-deprecating story out of it.

Mr. Bluebook,

The Witherspoon owns a black Benz, and has been papped driving it, and parking it, 'round town.

Jake hasn't been seen with his gas guzzler for over a year.

I was gonna say, showroom, I know Jake's dad's had a bit of a mid-life crisis but I doubt whether it extends to giving Reese W. his car ...

Cool about Yes We Can, blue velvet. There's a great bit at 3:50 ;)

Sky decided to use that picture, and try to spin it to be Reese, because there's more genuine affection there than with any picture of Jake with Reese they have.

That blond is not the PA/Reese lookalike that was around last year, that's Jake's manager, ahs been for years. If you check the IHJ galleries you can spot her going back.

Ashley Linda is very cute, just like her brother.

:), do you have a link to where Reese is the week's worst dressed? I'm sure she'll want to treasure that along with her nod in the worst bikini bodies category.

Dear Ted:
I know you're tired of the Toothy Tile questions, but I think I have an answer: "Toothy" is Vin Diesel! Correct me if I'm wrong.

You be wrong, too, hon-bun. Think less meaty.

How many times will Vin Diesel be ruled out as TT? Ted's ruling out the same people over and over.

Special K said...

Gotta love the nickname Cuss.

And we know that not only do Rowdy and Ashley have a little girl Ella but now have a little boy. So Austin is doing double uncle duty.

Which starlet with an often-troubled boyfriend actually plays for the other team — and puts up with her boy toy's habits to maintain hetero appearances?

Anonymous said...

Vin Diesel? Hasn't Ted said many times how good looking Toothy is. How can anyone even guess Vin Diesel. I think the number of TT letters Ted gets must have fallen way off as he is scraping the barrel.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ted's video. Even the non Jake parts. I don't watch network TV, so had not seen Ted, just read his column. I love his style even more now that I've seen it on display.

Pathetic isn't it? What makes it more sad is that we all know the truth. Anybody else would actually be believing this crap.

Thanks for the info on Austin guys.

From US magazine:

"What are Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal like as a couple?
"Perfect!" Witherspoon's Four Christmases co-star Kristin Chenoweth told Usmagazine.com at the Tony Awards in NYC Sunday.
Chenoweth is a big fan of Witherspoon.
"We played sisters," she says. "I loved it!"
Off-set, the petite Broadway star says she'd happily double date with Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal.
"It'd be fun!" she says."

"Our very own Celeb Super Snooper, Tay Tay was at Yogahop (the studio in Santa Moncia on Montana) where she did hip hop yoga right NEXT to Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Tay tells me that Reese was a hip hop yoga pro, but Jake's moves needed a little work. The celebs left halfway thru the class, as I am sure our own gossip guru was making them uncomfortable. Reece was sporting a black cut off tank top along with black Nike pants with the white stripe. Jake was wearing an old white t-shirt and blue Addidas shorts and a baseball cap (Tay thinks Red Sox). Tay also went on to tell me that they were SUPER cute together and very in love! AWWWWW!"

Thanks Mexican Sunrise for those pics of Austin's sis and bro in law. She's so cute

Austin's dad is in the worldfest pictures. He looks not at all what I expected him to look like but I can see a bit of Austin in him.

That young piccy of Austin that starts this thread? I've seen it before but it is completely awesome.
