Gyllenspoon @ Rome Film Festival 2007
Reese Witherspoon (in Nina Ricci) and “costar” Jake Gyllenhaal, aka Gyllenspoon, attend the premiere of their new movie Rendition during day 4 of the 2007 Rome Film Festival on Sunday in Rome, Italy.
Rendition scored a paltry 44% on Rotten Tomatoes‘ fresh meter. “The performances are surprisingly lackluster,” one reviewer has said. “Witherspoon practically sleepwalks through the whole thing, as does Gyllenhaal.”
As mentioned earlier today, Rendition ranked a horrible ninth place at the box office this weekend, pulling in $4.2 million.

Witherspoon denies romance with Gyllenhaal
Reese Witherspoon has hit out at rumours she has been romancing Rendition co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
The pair have been photographed enjoying each other’s company on numerous occasions, but Witherspoon - newly divorced from Ryan Phillippe - insists their relationship is purely platonic.
Witherspoon says, “I have known Jake for years through different friends and he is just wonderful. He’s very kind, generous and funny. It’s been nice these past days to laugh a little bit. Yeah, he’s great and I look forward to maybe making another film with him.”

Reese looks terrific.
stop going on about zanessa but anyway they look cute togthere thanks just jared :)
Reese - Rendition - 9th - 4,175, 000 - BOMB
Halle Berry - Things we Lost in the Fire - 15th - 1,604, 000 - EVEN BIGGER BOMB
Reese looks good. Love the red dress.
I wish these za-something people would just get out of threads that don’t concern them. This is spamming.
Here is some info, that article in the london daily mirror was edited to appear they had exclusive information.
If you read the orignal print you will see that Reese was not quoted as saying that. They took comments from other questions during Rendition press when Reese & Jake were asked about hooking up while filming the movie, they both answered that was not true, because they did not work with each other, they did not film one scene together. She went on to explain that she knew Jake prior to the movie and how (she did this during a press conference). If you have followed the press for this you would know that both refuse to answer any questions about the nature of their relationship. So neither has denied or confirmed anything.
As for Jake being gay, you might want to read this interview from London this week, here is your link
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/10/21/sv_jakegyllenhaal.xml
Clearly he is saying he is not gay and being asked about comments he made to lead people to think he was.
You can say he is gay all over the net, it won’t make it so.
As for Rendition, it was not a horrible movie and you might want to consider the important content to the movie and how perhaps certain publications were never going to support it for that reason alone. They both have jobs lined up already and money in the bank. This will not destroy their careers, heck all of George Clooney’s movies bomb and he is still considered the A list king.
Despite the all-star cast, only these two care enough to show up. Looks like Alan Arkin, Peter Sarsgaard and Meryl Streep are ashamed of the negative reviews.
they look bad. pic five she can’t move her forehead. please stop the botox before you wind up like Kidman. Or give the botox to poor jake. he looks so old.
I don’t believe he’s only 26.
he should just come out now… his movie bombed anyway.
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MOVIE CAME IN 9 PLACE..THE ONLY ONE THAT MADE IT TO
NUMBER 1 IS JOSH HARTNETT’S MOVIE 30 DAYS AND NIGHTS..
THANKS JUST JARED FOR THE GREAT PHOTOS…HOPE IT DOES BETTER OVERSEAS.
HORRIBLE reviews, critics say Jake was awful, and out of place.
Go and see RENDITION! Good movie!
Rendition was terrible. I love Reese but it was truly bad!
She should have spent the money to have her hairdreser come to Rome. Her hair looks a mess. Poor Reese!!!
You’ll do better next time!
I am so glad to see Reese wearing something other than black! I love her, she is so classy and beautiful.
She’s so beautiful int hat dress.
She is SPICYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
You can tell that they are getting their Groove on! She looks so Sheek!
Actually Meryl’s hand were tied and she could not promote the movie as she normally would. She will be in Rome to promote crazy Cruise’s new movie Lambs with Robert Redford directing.
It’s a most win situation for crazy cruise and his studio, she was asked not to promote the movie and didn’t. She attended one premiere and did the Daily show, which she also mentions Lambs.
Tom & Co weren’t having any of that.
Did you see the movie?
There were many people who liked it.
for real #10? that sucks. Those movies are being bombarded BAD, all sort of bad reviews. Those 2 are the troopers, showing their faces and promoting the movie, even though the movie is failing.
cute dress.
Well, I saw Rendition and thought it was very good. And not all the reviews were bad. People should make up their own mind before they decide a movie is bad or not. Again, I thought Rendition was better than the critics made it out to be. It is unfortunate that the box office was not good. At least it did better than Halle Berry’s new movie which came out at #15. A lot worse than Rendition.
Also, give the Jake is gay stuff a rest already. None of you are in Jake’s bed to know anyway. And who cares what his sexuality is. He is a good actor and hot! Love him, gay, straight or bi.
Reese always looks so classy….
Hopefully, its just a professional friendship with Gyllenhaal as she can do so much better on behalf of her long-term future!
Single mothers should never feel desperate and (always) be protective of their offspring!
Kira, while I don’t know what is going on between Reese and Jake, I do think Jake is a very good catch and anyone who would be with him would be lucky.
Her dress makes her boobs look uneven or saggy or something. Not a flattering fit. I like the color.
Jake looks good but I don’t like his old man suit.
I didn’t see Rendition but my one friend who did said it was really boring and Reese is only in it for fifteen minutes and her character is kind of annoying.
“… her character is kind of annoying.”
As expected.
I don’t know if he is gay or bisexual but they look good together somehow.
The movie is tanking do they really need to keep promoting? I would be so bummed out if I were them.
This is it - and thank God for that!
I’m sick of the “relationship” crap!
Well Elizabeth is tanking and Cate B is still out there pushing it. Sometimes it’s not about the box-office, sometimes stars with class live upto their promises and make movies for their message and art.
Crash made no money.
Syrania made no money.
They planned the Rome festival months before the movie came out and at least they get to spend time in a great place.
dont care for this two. But its a fact war and terrorism movies will not appeal to moviegoers because it scares them and its too painful to watch.
And Im sorry he’s gay and he’s ugly.
Sally, you need to grow up.
Love Jake and think he is a very good actor and it is to bad that the movie did not do well. I thought it was well done.
Most overrated actress of the decade. And fugly. And you guys call Jennifer Aniston Chinnifer. RIGHT.
Run, Jake, run. Don’t get mixed up with this bit**.
Jared,
Rendition is an excellent movie. Who knows about the press, critics, and dare I say box office mean, when Tyler Perry’s movies are in first place or near first place these last two weekends.
Most of the great dramatic movies did poorly at the box office this weekend, so that measurement really can’t be utilized to say whether any movie this weekend was good or bad.
I never give critics importance when choosing whether a movie is worthwhile. Rendition is well acted, well directed, not ponderous or boring; it will eventually be appreciated in our country. About Jake and his so-called gayness; yours were the only site that knew who Noah Baumbach, director was when he was out and about with Jake in the WV a few weeks ago. What’s up with everyone going on and on about Jake’s sexuality and personal life. I can just about guarantee with the way the press is hounding Jake about his sex life, and hooking him up with his male friends, that NOT another young male actor will make a gay movie of note and substance for many many years.
Jake is a tough M*the*f*c*er, but he has to be getting tired of all the BS…I know I am for sure.
rotten tomatoes for rendition
44% on the tomatometer.
don’t waste your money.
He will get his big hit like Damon with Bourne and then people will look at his movies and see his talent. He was great in Jarhead (which was another movie way ahead of it’s time), great in Zodiac (not my cup of tea movie wise, but still a great movie) and now in Rendition.
Reese is a very talented actress and has done some really good stuff. But in-order for a female to have some control of their career they must prove they can deliver box office #’s. Legally Blonde was actually a smart movie with a great message, that movie and S.H.A enabled her to get movis like Walk the Line and Rendition.
I don’t understand all the hate for two people who seem to conduct themselves in a respectable manner off the screne.
There are sightins of them in Rome acting like a couple on Friday & Saturday, prior to the press for Rendition.
I agree with you on everything in your post #37, Lori.
I think the sightings are just more BS. There are tons of Paps in Rome. Most of the sights are very crowded. It is unlikely that a picture wouldn’t have been taken, but then this is the miracle couple that never get photographed. She is an over rated actrss whose career is sinking. He is just boring.
Reese is a versatile actresss. just like any successful actress, they would tried and experienced different kind of role coming to them, it sort of like gamble, either you win some ot loss some, unlike some other actress who stick on rom-com and can only play one role in her entire career, then she really gonna have a problem when she hit 40 in about a year time, just like Meg Ryan, the rom-com queen of the eighties, she shift to drama role too late in her career, look what happen to her right now ? Julia Robert was smarter, try to combine drama role with her rom-com film in the later part of her career.
I don’t understand. I saw this movie. I wanted to see Reese and Meryl, bcz I am a huge fan. So I went to this movie and I thought it was really very good. I think the people who are hating on this movie might be doing it bcz it shows a Arab family having troubles too and a lot of people are hating on Arabs. It was a very good movie and Reese was so good she made me cry. I think peopl shoulde definitely see it. Oh. And Jake looked do hot. I mean. Sheesh! His very first scene he is in bed and he doesn’t have a shirt on and he is waking up and O.M.G. Then he goes into the bathroom where his girlfriend in the movie just took a shower and she is wrapped in a towel. I will not spoil the movie, by telling it, but Jake is the sexiest man alive that is for sure.
36 Anonymous :
Oh please! she might have a long chin but was still more faminine looking than Chinnifer Maniston, the problem with Maniston is aside from the long chin, she had a coarse, square manly mandible plus that Dustin Hoffman look alike big nose which make her so manly looking. Reese is 110% prettier than Manistonnot not to mention 200% more talented and 3000000% better person than the plastic surgery, fame obsessed , self absorbed and soooooooo whinny Maniston!
43 you left me very curious to see this movie. Certainly I´ll go when it ´ll come to country.
I love Jake. He is so young and great actor.
No matter if there is one or another movie doesn´t go well in box office. Every star has false step!
But I think that Jake, too young actor, has showed a big talent in his movie even when it didn´t big money as Zodiac where he was great!
Did it ever occur to people that celebrities get photographed because they want to be, that they tip off the paps for photo ops. That’s why Tom Cruie doesn’t make a move without letting the press know what he is upto so they can be there. That’s why Bragelina does the same and many other celebs. I don’t think Jake & Reese are into this sort of thing, they are low key.
Thousands of people visit Rome and sight-see every day, I could see Jake & Reese blending in. They have been there since Friday, press was Sunday, so it seems they made plans to see the sights.
Jakeypoop and Reesy pretended to have an “affair” (or let the rumors of it accumulate and multiply) in the run up to the movie. Once it came out, they both made it clear they had no relationship beyond being “friends.” In short the whole thing was a publicity ploy that didn’t work very well since the movie is a bust. Jakeypoop hasn’t had a real success since Brokeback. He’d better go back to playing gay parts; those he does very well.

All political drama films tank this year, I bet Tom Cruise next movie , another war drama film won’t make it too.
Greesyreesy in my opinion is going to have a tough time finding a new husband. She makes so much money he will inevitably be the number two in the relationship. Of course she might be able and want to find a house husband to take care of her kids for her. And wash the dishes and clean the toilets while she rakes in the dough. How about a *** husband who wouldn’t mind doing that stuff? There are probably plenty of those around in Hollyweird, if she just looks hard enough. Probably wouldn’t even have to look that hard. LOL
The movie was bad mouthed and trashed by ciritics in the US and on top of thet the American public is tired of war against terror movies. The movie had no chance in hell!
The reviews in Canada and UK are better.
Stop giving couples mixed up names “Bennifer, Brangelina, Gyllenspoon etc” and thinking it’s cute. It’s not. It’s godawful. Seriously, it sounds retarded…
They are not a couple.
That is a hot dress.
Freeze face, I don’t see botox in picture #5 - if she’d had it done, she wouldn’t be able to move her eyebrows and they are obviously raised. Nice try though.
Reese looks so pregnat.uuuugh
#43 and 46, you are so right on.
As for movies ‘tanking,’ well, of course. Who wants to go see a movie that makes you think (aka Rendition) when you can go and laugh like a ****** at **** jokes, or not-be-scared at vampire movies that star Josh Who-nett?
*note dripping sarcasm*
For every good movie like Rendition or Zodiac, there will be someone who will go see Wild Hogs or some other recycled crap that stinks to high heaven. God forbid movies should make us think or feel anything.
I loved Rendition. Thought Jake was hot. As for whoever criticized Reese’s hair, well– duh! She was supposed to be a Chicago housewife and mother– not to have the world’s best colorist.Do you people not know anything about costuming and makeup?
And for the person who wrote that Reese was “sheek”– honey, it’s spelled “chic.” Look it up.
I quote:
“Well, I saw Rendition and thought it was very good. And not all the reviews were bad. People should make up their own mind before they decide a movie is bad or not. Again, I thought Rendition was better than the critics made it out to be. It is unfortunate that the box office was not good. At least it did better than Halle Berry’s new movie which came out at #15. A lot worse than Rendition.”
This is a very perceptive post. I should also note that the USER RATING on Rotten Tomatoes is 85% !
I saw it and thought that it was very good. Unfortunately, most Americans are not mature enough to handle very serious subjects like this, or else resent being reminded of the unpleasant reality — as A. O. Scott of the New York Times perceptively observed in his sympathetic review of the movie.
Kudos to the cast and director for making this movie. Not all American film viewers are rank idiots.
Hal, i’d disagree, Zodiac was successful, got great reviews, didn’t do terribly well box office wise, but it did well on dvd!
And i’m sorry to disappoint you, Jake is not gay. I think he and Reese are together.
I live in Scotland and I read a few terrible reviews so the UK reviewers aren’t in love with it either. I’ll reserve judgement until I see it but it seems to me like a fangirl is owning this thread with all the positive posts that say the exact same things. I’m not too hopeful.
Dear Me:
I didn’t say Jake was gay. I said lots of people say he is. How can I know for certain? Does anybody know for certain, other than Jakeypoop himself? If he were, I would think it would be public knowledge by now. I can possibly think he might be bi. Again no certainty. Truth to tell, Jakeypoop is always poised when interviewed and comes across as a nice, fun guy. But is that the REAL Jake? Who knows? Reviews are not what movies are all about; they are about money. If Zodiac hasn’t made much money, in Hollyweird it is not a “good” movie.
The important thing about Jakey is that he was born upper-class to an established Hollywood family and got a privileged, almost normal upbringing, as normal as being born to a rich family can be. Private school and two years at Columbia University. He probably did not go through the messy teen years lots of celebrities experience and that warps them into the freaks that they become. Hence his nice guy demeanor and his sensible behavior. He is not a great actor, but a good one. He did best, I think, in October Sky and The Good Girl. Also good, but not as good as Ledger, in Brokeback. I like his public persona, but still will call him Jakeypoop, for fun.
The dress is gorgeous on her, and he looks beautiful as usual.
If these two aren’t banging boots, they SHOULD be! But I think they are. Why would two costars NOT say they’re ‘jsut friends’ if they were?
I love all these “Reese denies it” stories. IN no way does she ever deny it– she just says she’s known Jake for years. Wow, such a strong denial! Plus, in the recent UK/Guardian article, Jake says he is straight and not gay. He said it on Jonathan Ross too.
These two are gorgeous. I adore them both, as people and as actors. I think their first public date should be next year’s Oscars. Take that, Ryan!
A woman I know is friends with a lady who has a daughter who is an actress. Her daughter knows both of them and yes, they are a couple and have been a couple for about a year. BTW. He loves kids and wants lots of them.
“A woman I know is friends with a lady who has a daughter who is an actress. Her daughter knows both of them and yes, they are a couple and have been a couple for about a year…”
YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR!
SHE WAS STILL MARRIED A YEAR AGO!!!
noa I think they were separated long before it was official.
Jake and Reese should be respected to make a movie about Rendition,no other hollywood star are braver than them, they knew the movie won’t do well at box office from the begining,but they still to make the movie to make more people know something they should to know,so what’s the big deal the movie failed at box office?Does money is everything?????
Their career won’t be hurt by the movie, they’re true people who will be respceted in and out of hollywood,even the people who don’t want to see the movie would accept that they’re brave.
Reese and Jake are very talented in their profession. The movie didn’t do well at the box office but that makes them no less talented
Only 1 movie of hers was funny where she played a student. The rest has been so-so.
I totally agree with #64. As for #63 - I know he says he wants a family and all, but I can’t imagine Reese banging out alot more kids at this point in her life. Maybe 1 more, but not more than that. I think her ego is so big in Hollywood that all she cares about is making more money and becoming the richest actress in Hollywood. Its all about her ya know!
