Sit down, Stand Up, Get the Heck out

Think have figure out why Jake is sitting for Stand Up 2 Cancer. They are saving the standing up for Sept. Jake will be a part of the telethon that will be on all four major networks in the US.
Jake actually made two PSA's for Stand Up To Cancer. In this one with Scott Cooper he talks about how cancer touched his life.



and if you haven't seen it, here's the shorter version that he did in conjunction with Major League Baseball.



Stand Up To Cancer has provided funding and support for some of the most innovative and exciting cancer research that is currently happening in the US. Over the past two years, government support has been held flat and in some cases reduced in medical research due the current economic situation, that's why Stand Up To Cancer is so important.

Now for the Get the Heck Out

David O. Russell has seen the light,writing on the wall,bottom line fact that Nailed will never get off the shelf. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting: "Russell has withdrawn from the $26 million production after one-on-one negotiations with financier Ronald Tutor, who controls rights to the movie with Pangea Media Group CEO David Bergstein, broke down.

Neither Tutor nor Russell would go into detail about why they could not come to an agreement, but THR has learned that Russell apparently was not happy that producers Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher of Red Wagon Prods. were being squeezed to cut their fees in half.

In a statement to THR, the producers characterized the concessions as "unfair" and "unprofessional.""

"This has been a painful process for me," Russell told THR on Tuesday. "The multiple production delays and stoppages, which were caused by David Bergstein and preceded Ron Tutor's direct involvement with me, have now spanned two years, and the circumstances under which the film would now be completed are much different on several fundamental levels than when we embarked several years ago. I, unfortunately, am no longer involved in the project and cannot call it 'my' film. I wish Ron Tutor well."

Read the rest here. Hollywood Reporter

What does it all mean? Well it means that Tutor and Bergstein will bring in another director to finish the movie. That the outcome and look of the movie is at their mercy discretion. That Jessica Beil and Tracy Morgan are under contract to finish up the last scene never shot and don't get any more compensation and may have to do so. That movie may become something that the actors, the writers and the director never envisioned.

The question is how do you promote this? Is Jake contractually obligated to? Talk about awkward.

"Yeah I did this a couple of years ago but this is not the movie that I worked on. This is something else." " Me? and the monkey? Now that's a story"

Catch Me If You Can

Austin might have tweeted about but is it Jake who is trying to play it?

After two weeks on the Vineyard, there is now official sightings in the paper about him being there, not just one mention but two mentions two day in a row.

yesterday

Vintage actor Brian Dennehy grabbing dinner at V.R.’s in Wellfleet . . . Hollywood sibs Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal shopping and stopping to chat with friend Chris Fischer at the West Tisbury Farmers Market . . . Jake and pal “Smallville” actor Tom Welling, along with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard and Black Dog top dog Rob Douglas, yukking it up at Lenny Clarke’s comedy show at David Ryan’s in Edgartown . . .July 12th The Inside Track

and today.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” kvetch Larry David and “Prince of Persia” hunk Jake Gyllenhaal supping at the Chilmark Tavern on The Rock - but not together - . . . July 13th The Inside Track

The Track is the gossip for Boston and they make a point of covering MV and Nantucket during the season. If you want to known for being around on the island, the Track Girls are the ones to do it for you.

So why is it after 2 weeks comments of tweets about ferries and farmers markets about Jake being in MV, and not a pic to prove he was anywhere else would there be two sighting on two days and why these days?

Now before going further. There's this.

"There's a lot of deliciousness to tackle in this post, better find a comfortable seat! To start, let me set the scene. My friend Fiona (who writes the food blog A Boston Food Diary) and I had graciously accepted a very generous invitation to a private tasting menu at the District Lounge. Located between Chinatown and South Station in the Leather District, it is the definition of "off the beaten path". By trade, the District Lounge is an exclusive club that has lines around the block and celebs galore (I was informed that a Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal was there last week, wish I had known that!). " - Once Upon a Small Kitchen

Now the District Lounge is definitely one of the clubs on the short list of top spots, not too big, and like the blogger said "off the beaten path" and lines to get in the place. It has been on the Improper Bostonians list of the best for several years.

Jake in Boston and not one tweet or peep? Can he get off island and move around where he wanted to go and not get a mention? It might not be always easy but yup, think so, and think he has got it down after all these years. When he wants to move undetected he can. But what does that have to do with the two mentions confirming him on The Vineyard?

Isn't it odd that the first one happens to on the very day Austin is on the move and heading east? And then a follow up day to make it sounds like he was out last night at The Chilmark Tavern. But did you notice there are no specific mentions of exactly what day he was there?

Ask yourself this, is it to make it look like he just started his vacation there after two weeks after all ready being there?

Could it really be to place him there and everyone think he's there, when he's all ready gone and on the move himself? Somewhere where the latitude is closer to34.225N. than 41.343N? A little bit more misdirection?

Sounds like Jake could be staying one step ahead and going south at the same time.


Update: Why could have Jake been in Boston last week? Could have been to film the PSA for "Stand Up to Cancer" that is going to be on tonight's MLB's All-Star Game? Maybe filming it at Fenway? He is a self professed Sox Fan. Guess we will have to see tonight.
