Deja what a view

Can't have a Groundhog Day without a mention about Source Code. For the fact that relieving the same time over and over until you get it right, is right out of Bill Murray's hand book.

Now that Jake has time traveled three times, it is time to move on to changing characters. The word is that talk has resume over the remake of the movie Fletch with one of Murray's fellow Not Ready for Prime Time Players, Chevy Chase, and the article in The Hollywood Reporter mentions they are reimagining it. A Fletch remake has attracted interest in the past from Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, and Joshua Jackson. Jake has talked comedy and is one smooth talker... and Fletch is all that.

Fletch - Lakers Fantasy - watch more funny videos

Harvey (Weinstein) tell Jake he gets to do the dream sequence playing for the Lakers, and you could get him for scale, or better he'd even pay you.

But Fletch was never so handsome as this:

Jake looks every inch the movie star on the cover of Vanity Fair.

Devastating handsome. Smoldering. Does anyone any other man in the shot come close to Jake? Ryan Reynolds might have nabbed People's Sexiest this year, but he got schooled standing next to Jake.

Anyone else notice Jake's fancy footwork?

For a little peek behind the scenes at the photoshoot check this out.



The photoshoot was probably done in Decemeber, but it must have been late December, after his birthday and the holidays, because Jake is sporting that new watch he has proudly shown off since getting it.

Sunday night at the SAG awards, Natalie called Jake “...he’s the Cary Grant of our generation. He’s so charismatic, and so dapper and smart. He’s wonderful.”

So if Jake is Cary, then Austin must be Randy. Well... he does love westerns.

Jake is back out and about - Meeting in LA yesterday

Armed and dangerous(ly)...... handsome

"Jake is a funny motherf@&#!%. And handsome. And strong. And I'm very jealous of him!"

"I was doing my usual thing of to squeeze him in Mute(Duncan "long-gestating sci-fi") He was like, 'Yeah, yeah!' Now what about this thing?'"(Source Code) - Duncan

One thing Duncan and Jake did do is inject some humor into such an intense thriller. Can totally see Jake saying "tension breaker had to be done" (name that movie).

Funny, handsome, strong. And for some in Palm Springs, a bit salty.

Check out what The Desert Sun said :

The Film Festival's opening night gala is the highlight of the social season, but we're always disappointed when the celebrities revert to bad language. Jake Gyllenhaal, presenting the Desert Palm Achievement Award to Natalie Portman, uttered a few words we can't repeat in a family newspaper. And the usually distinguished Rep. Mary Bono Mack got carried away with her description of how fine a job Cher did with Diane Warren's song “Burlesque.”You're professional communicators. There's no need for that.

That might be why Jake made the list of celebrities that most gay men would like to have a sex fantasy encounter with in Out magazine's sex survey. He joined the list with Cheyenne Jackson, Ricky Martin, James Franco and Zac Efron. Top of the list? Ryan Reynolds.

Now what will happen at the Golden Globes? Singing? Dancing?

Watch Jake at the Golden Globes, tomorrow, Sunday, January 16, 2011 from 5:00-8:00 (PST)/8:00-11:00 (EST) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, live on NBC in the US. For those outside the US, check your local listings for time and channel.

Hand some more ?

A little Jakey today with all the Austin that is coming tomorrow.



Despite the long pause for Jake on the big screen, and almost two years without any interviews Jake still has staying power. Jake is number 7 on Premiere's The 40 Most Handsome Hollywood Men list. Not too shabby in the company of James Franco, Robert Pattinson, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Jackman, Josh Duhamel, and Ryan Reynolds, who proceeded him and in the company of 10. Orlando Bloom, 12. Brad Pitt, 17. Chris Pine,and Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio at 23 and 24 respectively.

Now they mentioned the Past,Present and Future hotness of each man by movie, but thought would look at it a little different way.

It is amazing to realize that just 28 Jake has played two iconic roles in modern movie history. And he has years to go in his career. While like most here are enamored of Jake's past, many are not happy with his public present, and a lot had debated about his future.



Two years is a long break from interviewing and with just pictures it tends to people seeing what they want to see. What will be interesting is what we will hear, and see if the interviews for upcoming his movies if he will bring his sparkle and and shine back. Sometimes still become the passive answer to things, its the interviews that bring back the dynamic to the party.

First up of course is Brothers, and it is getting more talk in circles, with more buzz, and just 3 months till it opens. One new development that happened over the weekend that might have given Brothers' better chances come Oscar time, not only the increase in the number of movies for best picture, but Scorsese's Shutter Island has been pushed back until February, taking a big contender out of race for this year's Oscars.



Looking at the trailer and Jim Sheridan's work, you can see that he has drawn out great performance from all three, Toby, Jake and Natalie. The picture seems to be firming up its place on the definite contenders.

Tommy (Jake), the "charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm." With that sentence you can see why Sheridan cast Jake. Because he has that in spades.

Will we see that wit and charm again in his interviews? I have no doubt we will. And think it that is which gives Jake the staying power on list like these despite his pauses.

It not just physical features but couple with that wit and charm that makes men so handsome. It's the look, the wink, the twinkle, the sparkle, the undefinable charm that's there, and that's why there is no doubt that even 10, 20 or even 40 years from now, Jake will still be on Handsome Hollywood lists. Past present and future.
