Austin's gone to the 80's for Lifetime but this time he goes back a little further, to 1969.
The hair's a little longer this time but cause is just as important.
Austin is taking part in the groundbreaking original movie “Five” for Lifetime Television.
"Five" is the "anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives.""Five" shows the shared experience each short film’s title character endures from the moment of diagnosis, weaving their stories together with both drama and humor "to focus on the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on relationships and the way women perceive themselves" while they search for strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and for a cure.
Austin is a part of an all-star ensemble cast that includes Patricia Clarkson, Rosario Dawson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Holloway, Taylor Kinney, Jenifer Lewis, Jennifer Morrison, Kathy Najimy, Bob Newhart, Annie Potts, Tracee Ellis Ross, Tony Shalhoub, Jeffrey Tambor and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
Austin plays one of the children of Annie Potts who is diagnosed with breast cancer in 1969. The story will show how different it was to be diagnosed then, both medically and socially and the effect it had on not only Annie's character but her family.
Each short film is directed by a different director, which are Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris.
The head of Lifetime, Nancy Dubuc said “This may be the most important film we’ve ever done."
Intense, powerful, inspiring, it is being called a can't miss.
But don't think it is all serious, "Five" looks for the humor as well.
Executive producer Marta Kauffman (Friends) talked about what happened with someone is given such as a diagnosis of breast cancer. "When we're in the most extreme circumstances, we tend to do one of two things: We either completely freak out, or go to humor. And when you raise the stakes enough, the results can be funny. It can be funny when a woman who's been diagnosed with breast cancer still has to deal with her mother."
"We were always given the freedom to make it as funny as we wanted to."
Kaufman added, "The idea was to do something that uses breast cancer as a backdrop, it's not about breast cancer; we've already seen that."
FIVE premieres Oct 10th on Lifetime.
Interesting project.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting project for Austin. He certainly kept that under the radar. I've lost 2 friends to breast cancer over the years so will definitely be watching.
ReplyDeleteAs for Reeke, I think the reason Ted was mad was that a deal is a deal. He may not have liked it, or what the bearding was doing to Jake, but she left him high and dry and that was not cool. I'd love to know what led to that though. Surely there is more to it than Toth. I'm also pretty sure Jake was not chosen for Avatar. I remember seeing his face when asked about it after Avatar came out. The look spoke volumes.
All day sightseeing again. Must add that the iPad is a great travel companion. Plus it never changed to local time like my iPhone so I know what time it is at home.

ReplyDeleteJake looks good in the new pictures, but they bring up a couple questions.
ReplyDeleteWhen have you seen Jake out recently in a dress shirt with shorts?
Could it be that he wanted to show something off?
Notice how he has his bare hand up to show no ring. That said he made sure he was wearing an open shirt collar instead of his go to t-shirt. Why? Maybe to show off that mark he got on his neck.
He couldn't wear his ring, but he was going to make sure that it was known he was someone's man.
From what I can gather is that Austin's story in FIVE is that he is Jeanne Tripplehorn's big brother in 1969, when their mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteI think for all the doofy stuff Austin's had to do in OTH,he balances it out.
He has made very concerted thoughtful choices to the other projects he involves himself in doing. Ones with a message.

Oh, Jake wanted to show off something, alright. These days, he rarely wears a dress shirt splayed opened like that at the collar. He looks good though. Maybe a slight smirk on his face along the way.
ReplyDeleteThat Barstow, CA address Jake was seen at on September 1 (2843 Lendwood Rd) is definitely the correct spot they were noshing at on the way to Las Vegas to film because there is also a Chevron sign reflected in the window and, not surprisingly, there is a Chevron Food Mart & Gas Station there as well. Jake and his people made sure to flood the Internet with all kinds of photo opportunities this past week, no doubt to distract from that wedding band he was wearing, but it's clear the film crew were heading east toward Vegas.
By the way, Los Angeles is about 100 miles from Barstow. And, Barstow to Las Vegas is about 152 miles. Barstow would be the perfect midway point to stop and have a snack.
As far as I-15 goes, it's hard to make any serious time lately because of the construction and traffic on Friday and Sundays. That's why it is understandable that they all took off on Thursday, September 1 and came back on Saturday to avoid the traffic congestion that comes with the weekend gamblers. Sunday became Rashida day so we know Jake is back in Los Angeles by then.

Re: Jake & Anna at the gas station

You guys might be right about them filming something at the gas station. This is purely speculation (going by the time stamps embedded in the pics) but if the times are correct, then the cast spent almost 3 hours at the gas station that day. Seems like an unusual amount of time to be there if you're just stopping to eat / get snacks, right? The pics were actually taken at 2 different times . The first half (eating Subway sandwich) were taken around 1:30 PM and the second half (Jake with his arm around Anna) were taken around 4:30 PM. Both on September 1st. :) So yeah, I can't say for sure since I don't know, but maybe the did film something inside or around the gas station that day on their way to Las Vegas. It's possible! :)
There are outlets and stores right in that area as well.
ReplyDelete^ You mean there are no Subway Sandwich or outlets and stores in Vegas to film at? How come no local press or tweets? Celebrities hanging out for 3 hours should have caught the eye of the public.
ReplyDeleteSo Anna and Jake were sharing a true tender moment over subs. Why didn't the mags just say they were filming from the start. And, weren't there other stories saying these pictures were from Labor Day. Too many lies swirling around this to not think something is up.
Great point. Why not just post the pictures and say they were just filming in Barstow on their way to Vegas. End of story. No there's something more here. Much, more here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in the September 19th (2011) People Magazine issue, after all this pushing of Jake with women, under the Heart Monitor section on page 38 there is this
"Pulse of Celebrity Love Life” - states:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Rashida Jones and Anna Kendrick –
Reports have linked the actor, 30, and the Parks and Recreation star, 35, but, says a source: “They’re good friends and nothing more.” As for Kendrick, 26: “They’re shooting End of Watch.”
Then there's a red heart encircling them but it says, “Just friends.” Oh, brother.
Subtext: “Stop making more out of it. How dare you!”
I find it interesting too that there were no tweets about filming. If they were there for 3 hours, not one single tweet about a movie filming at a random Chevron/Subway or mall? Barstow is a community of 21,000. Wouldn't you think a filming event would be an attention getter in a small city?
ReplyDeleteAnd if there was filming, where are the cameras? Any crew? No make-up? No mics? Were they using a camera video cam to shoot?
And if they were filming a scene elsewhere, why are there no pictures of the actual filming, only of the lunch break?
Popsugar is the site that said that the pics were from Labor day and since they didn't see the traditional film set-up (Ayres probably filming with a video from a car or Kendricks using her iphone for that POV look, just speculation) the paps thought that it was a date. The other sites are too lazy and dumb to figure out that 9/5 was a holiday and most likely no filming was done on that day.
ReplyDeleteJake is aware of the paps if you look at the pics and makes no attempt to hide his prop ring, Anna is wearing one too.
Her confused look just means she was in character, they were actually filming at that point.
Stephanie from IHJ works at a photo agency and saw the pics with the timestamp emmbetted, there were 2 sets of pics shot 1:30 AND 4:30 . Don't think they were milling about eating snacks.
Methinks Ayres didn't want to purchase a filming permit for that time and just did it on the sly something I think he did a lot of during this shoot.
People magazine is just as dumb and lazy as the rest and repeats crap and then backtracks.

ReplyDeleteIf the first half was spent eating and 3 hours later come the pictures of Jake with his arm around Anna, then why does Jake have another plastic bag of food in his left hand? Is that sandwich for the road? If the mileage between Barstow and Las Vegas is about 152 miles as quoted by M&M, Jake anticipated being hungry again for another sandwich in 3 hours? If the sandwich wasn't for him, then who was it for that is not pictured? Someone who was riding along and sat in the car (for 3 hours?)
And if filming took place in the first half, then why does Jake still have his prop wedding band on in the second half of the pictures which was 3 hours later? He forgot it was there? He just liked wearing it?
No prop personnel on hand to handle any stage accessories as soon as filming was done?
There would be no mics or crew for this I would think was a few minute scene.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason why Jake and Anna would be walking with their arms around each other if they aren't dating. And Jake didn't do it to distract because he makes no attempt to hide the ring and you can see Anna's too.
Also in those pics you don't see Ayres nor the other dude who I assume is some assistant.
If Stephanie at IHJ says the timestamp indicates 2 sets of pics and then they were there for 3 hours than it's correct, the paps got them filming and taking a break and didn't realize filming was going on, they are too dumb have seen Ayres sitting in a van with a video camera documentary style.
Cheap production, you give new meaning to reach around. LOLLLLLL!
ReplyDeleteMethinks Ayres didn't want to purchase a filming permit for that time and just did it on the sly something I think he did a lot of during this shoot.
ReplyDeleteLet's just throw legalities out the window?
Anna liked wearing her prop ring too since she is still seen wearing it.
ReplyDeleteProp personnel? On this film, LOL! If Ayres was filming this on the sly like I suspect, then their was no prop person with them.
Poor munching popcorn, IHJ has just shot holes in your latest fanfic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how you all just ignore the fact that Anna is wearing a wedding band in all the pics and yes SK you can tell what she is wearing on her left finger.
Oh so you were there and saw Ayers in the van? Why weren't they wearing their mini cameras like in other scenes? And, remember on Tuesday stories ran and said they were still filming on September 5. Another lie.
ReplyDeleteHate to break it to you Perry, shit like that happens a lot on cheapo productions!

ReplyDeleteIsn't this a documentary style movie? Hasn't Jake been wearing a camera in his filming scenes that have been seen thus far? Why not in this scene?
Why does Jake have a sandwich in his hand 3 hours later if the pictures are suppose to have been taken three hours apart. Does he get hungry that fast?
ReplyDeleteHate to break it to you Perry, shit like that happens a lot on cheapo productions!
ReplyDeleteIf it is such a cheap production, why go to Vegas? Gas, food expense and mileage not to be reimbursed to those involved?
If they needed to film at Subway or strip mall, why stop in Barstow along the highway and film? If this is cheapo production, why not film at mall/Subway in L.A. or wait til Vegas arrival?
Why stop along the highway to film?
I agree with many of the points about why not just do all the filming in Vegas? Why were the stories indicating they took place on Labor Day? One story even said Jake flew into Vegas. I can understand that a wedding scene would be filmed in Vegas, but a Subway Sandwich exterior shot could have been done in LA very easily.
ReplyDeleteSpeculation, JJ and the rest of the dumbasses have no idea how long the shoot is and when they realized that the Anna/Jake pics were of them filming they jumped to the conclusion that it was still filmimg which it was in LV.
ReplyDeleteJake hiking with Atti and friend with the LAPD T didn't help matters, especially with JJ.
You sound as clueless as the dumb and lazy bloggers.
Stephanie has the timestamps, 3 hours that is way too long for just a pit stop at Subways or to kill time for a flight because I would think that even though this is a cheap shoot, they would know what time the flight leaves.
I bet the director decided to do his cinema verite bit before the flight to LV, no permit and no fuss=realism, LOL!!
If you look at pictures of Jake on the set of EoW the propmaster would not eve let him have his badge on until the moment they started shooting, the same would be for the ring. As soon as Ayers said cut they would have collected it.
ReplyDeleteAnd neither Jake were Anna were miked, there is not mike pack seen, there are no booms, nothing. Yes you can film using unconventional cameras, but you have to have good sound.
"cheap production" is a well known troll around these parts. Believes its own BS.
ReplyDeleteI agree with whoever asked why there were no tweets or other public sightings if big movies stars were hanging around Barstow for 3 hours. If you've ever been there it doesn't have much excitement.
ReplyDeleteNow, watch. There will suddenly be thousands of accounts from people who saw Jake Gyllenhaal in Barstow.
Why is Anna still wearing a wedding band in all o the pics if they weren't filming? She isn't married or engaged and yes it is a wedding band.
ReplyDeleteIHJ says that they were there for 3 hours even if they weren't filming , there were no tweets or FB sightings and yet here are the pics. Were they that low-key that no one noticed? Odd since the paps were there for 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Anna still wearing a wedding band in all o the pics if they weren't filming? She isn't married or engaged and yes it is a wedding band.
ReplyDeleteI guess it all remains to be seen. For me, all of the other stated discounts are far outweighing Anna K having her band on for there to be an unquestioned acceptance of the media fed explanations.
Odd since the paps were there for 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteYou took my thunder. There should have been a lot more photos of different activity other than Subway sandwiches, if the paps were there for 3 hours, which is what IHJ is stating.
Well they also could have been in stores or shops and the paps could not get pictures of them there.
ReplyDeleteYou also have to remember that Jake or his people can buy up pictures as well or make deals about pictures with agencies.
That could be another reason why you don't see a lot of pics.
Obviously the photos at Subway were leaked by the film crew. Don't know why others are afraid to say that.
ReplyDeleteIf these are just leaked filming pictures snagged by paps, as asked before by M&M at 11:11, why weren't the pictures tagged as filming pictures from the very beginning?
ReplyDeleteWonder what is scary about calling them filming pictures?
And if they were "leaked", not to be released yet, then why not pull the pictures as has happened before to other pictures leaked that aren't supposed to be published?
Why have they been splashed all over the gossip sites? And why with the speculation that Jake and Anna were canoodling? If it was simply filming?
I find it hard to believe that paps would be hanging around there for 3 minutes let alone 3 hours unless they were called/tipped off.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the pics all were very aware of the paps and didn't seem to mind , even eating their sandwiches outside which you would think they would have done indoors or even in their cars.
Like the other pics from the set of EOW that were plastered all over the net because they knew they were filming in those neighborhoods, this time they were called because I don't think that is a regular place they would hang plus 3 hours?
Jake's peeps allowed the speculation about the pics because why not?
I've sen tons of pics of celebs including Jake being filmed while they are indoors shopping and eating.
No, the paps were called to shoot what we saw, it was on purpose.
It's a good thing Steph works at that agency and she saw the timestamps on the pics.
They weren't tagged because Jake's peeps saw that people would speculate because they are too dumb and lazy to figure out that they were filming.
ReplyDeleteThe paps were tipped off or the crew "leaked" them with Jake's PR approval and after his peeps saw they could create some buzz, they removed the EOW tag.
They also know that even if it's figured out down the line that they were indeed filming, the lazy blogs and tweets would continue to claim they were on a lunch date.
PR for EOW & Jake dating Anna=win.
What do you mean that they weren't "tagged" or that the "EOW tag was removed" ? When have we ever seen photos show up on People.com, JJ or IHJ with a tag on it?
ReplyDeletethey removed the EOW tag.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but that is just your theory, and it doesn't make sense anyway.
I can't believe how clueless you fangirls are, ask yourselves why were the paps hanging around there for 3 hours unless they were called? And who would call them? Ayres and crew.
ReplyDeleteSo these were not candid pics of Jake and EOW crew hanging around stuffing their faces for 3 hours as JJ and Co claimed.
As Sk has stated above, deals with agencies are made all the time, the fact that Steph says that she saw the timestamps on them means that she saw them after the deal was made or she is leaving out some info.
The paps didn't just stumbled upon them and decided to hang around for 3 hours taking pics.
Reminds me of the pics of Jake's Dad's wedding, Stephen had to have called the paps for PR with the promise of pics of Jake and Maggie, that's the only way they would show up.
Just a guess, but they were probably careful of Jake's continuing to wear a badge so he wouldn't be mistaken for a real cop or accused of impersonating one while away from the set.
