A Stitch and Time

Jake was spotted as was he trying not to get spotted at the Dr's last Friday, Nov 15.

 Maybe he didn't want to add to the worry to all the reports of his trip to the hospital.

 Of course with all the stitches they said he had to have done to repair the damage for the on set incident reported to have happened on the previous Wednesday  you would need a follow up.

 But you don't take the stitches out after 2 days,  a week yeah, but two days?

 So did he hurt himself a little earlier than reported?

Or was there another (little) reason he was trying to sneak into the Dr's office?

Punch and Jakey

The news of Jake cutting his hand after punching a mirror during filming a scene for Nightcrawler shows there was an intensity on set, be it from the script or just Jake having a moment, but this isn't the first time there has been something like this to happen with Jake and his movies.

Some might remember the very intense scene in Jarhead between Jake and Brian Geraghty  when Jake's character Swofford snaps first holding his gun up  to Brian's character and then grabbing Brian's gun and pointing it at his own mouth screaming to pull the trigger.  During the filming of the scene Brian accidentally chipped Jake's tooth and with Jake so into the moment found him literally beating up his co-star. "And so I, for some reason, just started hitting him, and I just got so angry that he had chipped my tooth. And I just started hitting him. And we didn't talk for like a month, actually, after that. It's actually a testament to Brian because Brian is nothing like the character he plays. He's just amazing in that scene." Brian described it as: "Well we had a little time apart from ourselves but I mean, it was a very intense scene where he almost kills my character. ...Everything was fine. We took it to the limit. Hopefully when you see the film you’ll acknowledge that. We’re better for it."

Jake was so intense during the whole shoot he also had issues with his future brother-in-law Peter, who he also didn't speak to for a month and ended up breaking a rib of Peter's during a scene. So intensity is nothing new for Jake.

But it's not the accident itself that set the bells off  here,  is some of the other details that has OMG asking questions.

Nightcrawler was supposed to be a a 28 day shoot in Oct. why is Jake still filming two weeks later?

How far behind must they be if they had a filming schedule that lasted 18 hours?

What happened in October that set them back so much?  Schedules? Days off? Budgets? Darkness? Too many rainy days in Southern California?

Is Nightcrawler the real reason that Everest isn't set to start shooting until January 5th?

Where do you come up with the money to pay for going over schedule for this many days? Especially on a movie that they have said is being made on a very small tight budget?

And with Jake being one of the executive producers for Nightcrawler, doesn't he have a little more control over the schedule and the run over? Or is that part of the reason it's running over?



Just one more thing - Jake, bud,  if you didn't want to "teach her" how to make Thanksgiving dinner there are other ways of getting out of it.
