Rings a bell

 Over the years rings have popped up on Jake's fingers. From plain bands to black diamond engagement rings to himself.  And there is always speculation when it began.

It looks like it goes all the way back to the beginning. Check out the glimmer of a ring at the premiere of Jake's first major movie October Sky in Knoxville.

Tucker'd Out

As Gomer would say... Sur-prise!  Sur-prise!

Pictures from the set of Prisoners in Tucker, GA from Tuesday showed up on Patch and there were two pictures of Jake included in the set.



Just a few observations:

That location really doesn't look like Boston at all, it does look like it could stand in for somewhere on the South Shore of Boston, like  Bridgewater or Middleboro but not Boston.

And Jake's got himself one heck of a haircut there. It seems even shorter on the sides that the pictures of him that popped up on twitter the last week or so.

 So which came first, the twitter or the cut? 

Feeling Loopy

"Jake Gyllenhaal was here yesterday doing ADR on "An Enemy". Cool guy. I can spell his name correctly now, don't ask me next week." -  Source

Talk about economic filmmaking Denis has Jake working on two films at once, shooting Prisoner and doing post work for "An Enemy".

As we learned in "How to make movies 101" during PoP, ADR is "the process of re-recording the original dialogue after the filming process for the purpose of obtaining a cleaner, more intelligible dialogue track". So pretty much Jake was in the booth saying "but I'm an actor", "Well, I'm a teacher", "hey you look familiar", "This leather chafes"

 Jake will have to jump back in the booth to do the same thing for Prisoners and pretty quick with the film coming out in theaters  7 months.

Amazing to think that Prisoners will take less time it takes to have a baby. Was PoP the equivalent of having an elephant?

Think, Thank, Thunk

I'm thinking of you!! - AUS10

Wow Austin! Thanks!

 Don't know if you meant OMG, but we'll  take it and of course we're  thinking about you.

Can't you tell?

He said: “To our acting royalty, Colin, Geoffrey, Helena, thank you so much for saying yes. To our amazing best of British crew, so amazing to share the stage with you tonight.

And to my parents, and to my boyfriend Ben, you help me everyday do what I do. Thank you.”

Well Tux'd
