Haven’t seen Jake Gyllenhaal around in quite a while! What’s he been up to?
Jake’s getting ready to start promoting his new film, ‘Source Code’. The movie has been chosen to open SXSW Film Festival on March 11!
The SXSW Film Festival will open on March 11 with director Duncan Jones’ Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Vera Farmiga. The festival, which takes place for nine days in Austin, Texas, will screen nearly 300 films and feature panel conversations with Jones, Gyllenhaal, director Todd Phillips (The Hangover), Paul Reubens, James Gunn (Slither), Ellen Page (Inception) and Rainn Wilson (The Office), among others.
Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) might be imperiously brilliant, monumentally self-possessed and an intellectual giant — but when it comes to solving the conundrums of love and family, he’s as downright flummoxed as the next guy. His teenaged daughter (Ellen Page) is an acid-tongued overachiever who follows all too closely in dad’s misery-loving footsteps, and his adopted, preposterously ne’er-do-well brother (Thomas Haden Chuch) has perfected the art of freeloading. A widower who can’t seem to find passion in anything anymore, not even the Victorian Literature in which he’s an expert, it seems Lawrence is sleepwalking through a very stunted middle age. When his brother shows up unexpectedly for an extended stay at just about the same time as he accidentally encounters his former student Janet (Sarah Jessica Parker), the circumstances cause him to stir from his deep, deep freeze, with often comical, sometimes heartbreaking, consequences for himself and everyone around him.
Not the most flattering picture of SJP, if you ask me.
I think this movie looks AMAZING!!! Check out the trailer.
