Jakes Gyllenhaal is Persia’s Prince
Jakes Gyllenhaal covers up underneath his hoodie and a pair of aviators after landing in London on Monday to pick up filming on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Lately, the 27-year-old actor has been wearing a lot of hats, hoodies and bandanas on his head lately to cover up his mane of hair.
Sands of Time is set in medieval Persia about the story of adventurous Prince Dastan (Gyllenhaal) who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. The film is set to release in May 2010 and also stars Sir Ben Kingsley as Nizam, the angry ruler.

Ryan is not HOT, he is just good looking, nothing more…. :)))
Jake is the best….love him and that smile. I think PoP will be great.
To bee HOT you must have something, one of aspects are sexual energy whom you bring in yourself. Ryan is cute and that’s for sure, but he seems empty and restrained.
Jake’s energy that he brings in himself and even his smile, lips and eyes are one of largest reasons, why people think that he is hot, and i agree with that..One more thing, this man newer lose ability to smile, even in bad times…
Sorry on my English :))))
Ryan has heat. He always looks like he is about to do something really dirty, or he just has, or he’s thinking about it. He’s all smoldering and intense and unpredictable.
Jake is a big ole goofball. He seems sweet and docile.
OOHH SHUT UP ALL U JAKE HATERS, U MAKE ME SIK!! Love u Jake =D
Jake v Ryan. Ryan is or was a pretty boy and not much else. Jake on the other hand has had a good education and a good upbringing by good parents. He is more grounded and normal than most Hollyweird types. Definitely a cut above most of the rest. Reese is similar and that is why they like each other. One possible drawback for Jakey is that he may be a bit passive and easily bossed around by a woman. For Reese is may be that she is bossy and castrating. If so, they may be a match made in heaven. LOL She likes to boss men around and he likes to be bossed around.
Jake Gyllenhaal work for several Mafias. The film Prince of Persian has only one objetive. Make propaganda of video games whose are harmful for children. He loves money and he has ambition with money of another people.
He is decadent and his lover too! Their films give lot of loss in Hollywood
I have read today how Hollywood is dominated by nepotism.
The family of Cappola has lot of element by film industry. Nicolas Cage, Sofia capola , Talia Shire etc…Jason and John etc…
It is very interesting. All these families have control of magazines and television to make propaganda of themselves.

You are terribly opinionated….
movie stars do not have influence to control media. That’s way all their secrets comes out on surface… they are not so powerful…
Only state government has power to control media
You are always talking the same, and i loosing my interests…
But if you talk about gossip media, that is something quite different….
First of all every actor most of money received from movies, split with people who worked with him on that movie….
Madonna most of her money splits with agents, bodyguards, personal trainers who work for her …..So normal…
This is my last…. Bye Bye :))))))
Jake is a poor boy. Look at his terrible shoes! He hasn´t got money for a new pair of shoes!
He could ask Reese to buy a newpair of shoes for him!
Jake is a HOT boy and the look he has going on is yummy!
Hardly wait for Saturday…. BBM on TV…. :))))))
Ivana, good to see you are still around. You are one of the nice people who comment on this blog. Do you mean you have not seen BBM yet? In any case, Jake is very very good. But Heath is better. Heath’s performance is one of the GREATEST in my opinion in movie history. Annie Proulx, the author of the short story on which the movie is based, said he understood Enis better than she did. And called his performance “legendary.” He was so completely the character that he played it is uncanny. I have not seen his Joker, but it is also superb everyone says, and that makes his untimely death a real tragedy for the world of acting. Watch it and think what we have lost with Heath’s death. Many more legendary performances that now will never be.
Ivana: I’ll explain to you why Heath’s performance is better than Jake’s.
Heath is Australian and his normal speech is Australian. He has to change his speech to American and then beyond that to the speech of an uneducated American kid living in Wyoming. He does all this perfectly. He gets the accent and the manner of an uneducated kid from Wyoming perfect from the very first scene and maintains this perfectly throughout the movie.
Jake on the other hand is American and his normal speech is that of an upper class Los Angeles boy. In the movie he tries often to imitate the speech of an uneducated Wyoming kid but sometimes he does this okay and other times he lapses back into the speech of an upper class Beverly Hills boy. He never gets completely into the skin of the character he is playing and he tends to get out of character at times. He is probably better looking than Heath and sexier, but he is not as consistent or accomplished an actor.

I watched this movie in cinema only ones, it was fun…
I remember that one couple leave the cinema after scene in tent, some people laugh, some made jokes which made tears in my eyes..
I remember how good movie looks on big screen, especially Jake and Heath… i newer seen such good looking guys. :))))
But you know after good laugh, the end of movie make bitter taste in my mouth, and i even cry….
I am always around… i enjoy in this stuff…:)))
Heath was better… true, but when i look at him and Jake i see them as one, they were so unique… Jake is great actor too, but he takes his roles less personally. Heath was totally into Joker.. so sad.
I think Jake is a very talented actor. I don’t understand the need to have some sort of competition about Jake and Heath. They both are/were extremely talented and did a brilliant job in Brokeback in their own way.
These are the true words of Annie Proulx on Jake’s performance:
http://www.bookslut.com/features/2005_12_007310.php
“You said earlier that you were pleased with Heath Ledger’s performance. Did you feel that way about the whole cast?
The whole cast was magnificent. There wasn’t anything not to be thrilled with, in anyone’s performance. They were all extraordinary. And by singling out Heath Ledger, I didn’t mean to slight Jake Gyllenhaal in the least, because he’s an extraordinarily versatile, quicksilver, accomplished actor. Really, quite marvelous. And I think he went from Brokeback to Jarhead, and that is the kind of jump that is, like, “Oh, really?” And he did both with ease. Very expert ease.
All of the actors were just superb.”
Well Proulx had to say nice things about Jake so that it would not appear that she was playing favorites. I am sure she was pleased with Jake’s performance, but it was Heath’s that she FIRST singled out for praise. She only said nice things later about Jake’s. She called him “expert, versatile, accomplished, etc.” but she never said he understood Jack better than she did nor did she call his performance “legendary”. There is no doubt she thought Heath was the better of the two, as did the Academy that nominated him for the Oscar as best actor and Jake only as a supporting actor. Other critics, I can’t name them all, say the same. As others say, Jake is a “jobbing” actor… that is acting is his job and he does it well. But he is not a mesmerizing STAR as was Heath. Heath entered the pantheon of GREAT actors with BBM; for Jake it was just another excellent job,.
Yes Ivana, the ending of the movie is sad, almost tragic. Lots of people cried I am sure, even men.
Ivana, do you want me to correct your English style? No offense intended.

Reggie, you are just going to twist and spin whatever you want to make it seem like everyone feels as you do about Jake’s acting. Annie Proulx didn’t have to do anything. She sure shares her opinions on things she doesn’t like. Whether it be the fans who send her Brokeback fanfiction or how she didn’t like the movie adaptation of The Shipping News. If she didn’t like BBM or Jake she didn’t have to say anything. As for the “jobbing actor” thing, that is one article which was pretty disrespectful to Jake when it was supposed to be a tribute to Heath’s death.
I do happen to think Jake is also a mesmerizing actor in his own way. He and Heath are/were different and I don’t see the need to disparage one or the other. Fine you don’t think Jake is as good an actor as Heath was. But not everyone agrees and I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
imanie, I agree with you. I think Jake and Heath were great in BBm. In truth, I loved Jake in Jack Twist.
I watched Batman and I think Heath did a good job as Joker but people overrated saying he is better Jack Nicholson. I disagree. Joke is a carismatic role, so any good actor could play as good as Heath did.
Reggie, certainly my English isn´t very good (you can correct, no problem) but one more thing. Although Heat was great in BBM, he lost a lot of award to Philip Seymour Hoffman and I ´d say it´s fair cause Philip was brilliant. On the other hand, Jake almost won OSCAR and in my opinion George Clooney wasn´t better than Jake. But Jake is young, handsome, etc… So he can wait. But the BAFTA, Jake caught!
The last thing, BBM producers nomined Heath and Jake in two diferent categories cause movie would have more chance to win. It worked cause in BAFTA, Heath didn´t win, but Jake won. And I think Jake was supporting actor cause his part in movie is minor than Heath. Of course, if they wanted two chances to win they did the righ thing (remember PULP FICTION?).
Don´t get me wrong, I understand his (her?) preference for Heath but like me some people prefer Jake.
In fact, both were equally great.
OMG is it really that bad (my English)…
Those verbs killing me… :)))
Since now i am using only short sentence… really short one…
Well Jake is a good actor; he was best in October Sky and The Good Girl, a bit less good in BBM. The reference to him as a “jobbing actor” was in a piece in the UK Guardian that I suspect you didn’t see. I didn’t see Hoffman as Capote but in fact it is far easier to mimic a person than to create a character from a script. Proulx made this point about Heath when she criticized the Oscar awards. She found Heath’s performance so good she felt compelled to comment;…. then when it appeared she was slighting Jake she tried to make amends, but it is clear that she had a higher opinion of Heath’s performance than of Jake’s. After all she has a perfect right to comment since she wrote the story. I agree that her complaints about people writing her with “revisions” is rather silly. She should be flattered that her story gripped so many people that they wanted to write about her characters and if she found the rewrites annoying she could simply ignore them, like throwing them in the wastebasket.
Some of the “rewrites” that she got were published in the UK Guardian. Some were funny and others not too bad. Most of them came from gays who tried to intensify the gayness of the story, like imagining what Jack Twist was thinking as he watched Enis walk down the street…. lots of super sexual thoughts. What Gyllenhaal did in the movie that was not in the story (or perhaps what his director made him do) was suggest that he already had had some gay experiences and was lying in wait, so to speak, for another chance. So when they first meet Jake drapes himself on the truck in a provocative pose and sneaks peeks at Enis while shaving in the truck rear view mirror. These were not in the story.
