While all the talk has been about Jake getting ready to start filming Prisoners, it is easy to forget he has another movie in the works, and it was announced a while before Prisoners.
Bet you're thinking... wait what movie was that?
Answer: Mississippi Grind
The story written and directed by the Half Nelson duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, is about a young gambling addict who teams with a washed up gambler fraught with debt as the two travel through the South to hopefully change their luck.
And while lately Jake's beard makes him look like the old washed up gamber, if you took that bet you would be busted.
Jake plays the younger gambler, so who then is the older in this pair?
Up and coming Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn. Ben is 11 years Jake' senior and when Jake gets a clean close shave he will look even younger.
Jake isn't just acting in Mississippi Grind is also producing the film. This will be Jake's second producing credit. His first came with End of Watch, and bestowed upon him after he became so involved in the making of the film.
