Powered by an unusually rich, twisty script by Aaron Guzikowski (“Contraband”) and career-best performances from Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, this tale of two Pennsylvania families searching for their kidnapped daughters sustains an almost unbearable tension for two-and-a-half hours of screen time, satisfying as both a high-end genre exercise and a searing adult drama of the sort Hollywood almost never makes anymore. Fully deserving of mention in the same breath as “Seven,” “Mystic River” and “In the Bedroom,” this Sept. 20 Warners release may prove too intense for some viewers, but should ride strong reviews and word of mouth to above-average R-rated returns. It immediately enters the ring as an awards-season heavyweight.Varietynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-36428926411999523582013-08-30T20:55:37.377-04:002013-08-30T20:55:37.377-04:00What does a play that ended months ago have to do ...What does a play that ended months ago have to do with his current schedule.<br /><br /><br />huh? are you kidding me?explaining the obviousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-43310750811305614002013-08-30T20:37:18.122-04:002013-08-30T20:37:18.122-04:00What does a play that ended months ago have to do ...What does a play that ended months ago have to do with his current schedule.the real mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057649713575215021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-3291711198994890572013-08-30T20:36:05.160-04:002013-08-30T20:36:05.160-04:00Thanks for the heads up on coming Jake movie promo...Thanks for the heads up on coming Jake movie promo.

So hopefully you will enjoy your trip as well despite fires in the vicinity.<br /><br />I guess Jake's Daddy Duty weeks at home conflicted with the schedule. He and Austin have been trading pretty regularly. One works, the other tends the home fires. Even our troll has to work overtime those days to keep the focus off his whereabouts. <br /><br />I saw the Prisoner trailers, which I had not watched previously. Looks pretty dark and did not make me want to see the movie. If critic opinions show up before the release date, that means it is good.

In fact, Jake just recently stated that he is independent and has no responsibilities. He supposedly had no schedule to keep while making Prisoners. Yet, Denis remembers that it was Jake's complex schedule that he had to work around. Must have been all those Emily dates that never took place.Methodical Muserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270818458477415124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-60976360698999448572013-08-30T13:53:31.341-04:002013-08-30T13:53:31.341-04:00Ok, that's my contribution for the day.

Clearly that movie is where his heart and wallet sit. Even during the filming of Prisoners, he was constantly gone every weekend, sometimes entire weeks going to award shows for Les Miz. He's going to be all jet lagged when he lands in Toronto.<br /><br />Speaking of which.<br /><br />This was an interesting quote of ol' Denis V. from that Cineplex interview found on IHJ. The director is quoted as saying:<br /><br /><i>"I ended up literally working on two movies at the same time. Not back-to-back - at the same time! The two production companies worked together to accommodate Jake's and my schedules." </i><br /><br /><br />Whoa, stop. Speaking about Enemy and Prisoners, he said that <i>Jake's</i> schedule needed to be worked around? LOL! What schedule was that exactly? <br /><br />What about Hugh? Hugh was the one who was gone <b>constantly</b> going to the BAFTA's, Berlinale, etc. That guy was the one going everywhere promoting Les Mis at every film award show there was. But yet Denis V says it was <i>Jake's</i> schedule as one of two he needed to work around.<br /><br />Hmmm. Winter breaks? Spring breaks? I don't know, I'm just trying to get my head around that loaded quote.prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669415015184105792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420911995963030061.post-63086040089606956972013-08-30T12:35:52.184-04:002013-08-30T12:35:52.184-04:00I don't think Jake is starting his new film ne...I don't think Jake is starting his new film next week. <br /><br />See this from Deadline.<br /><br /><i>Also at the Telluride Film Festival picnic I ran into Prisoners director Denis Villeneuve and its producers Alcon’s Andrew Kosove and Kira Davis. The trio were anxiously awaiting the festival’s reaction to their incredibly tense thriller. I had speculated pic would be a surprise entry here and indeed it as now been officially announced as one of Friday night’s screenings. (The festival also confirmed Fox Searchlight’s 12 Years A Slave will screen Friday, ratcheting up the Oscar contender wattage considerably). I am told Prisoners stars Hugh Jackman is in Japan promoting Wolverine and Jake Gyllenhaal is starting a new film and also couldn’t make the trek to Telluride. But both will be at the Toronto premiere next week along with the rest of the impressive cast. Villeneuve is no stranger to Telluride and was last here in 2010 for his Oscar-nominated Incendies.</i><br /><a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/telluride-no-hugh-jackman-or-jake-gyllenhaal/</a><br /><br />So Jake in Just Jared and Denis saying he's busy to come, because he starting a movie?
