Source Code Asks Jake Gyllenhaal to Repeat Himself
· Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to star in the sci-fi thriller Source Code, the planned follow-up of Moon director Duncan Jones. Gyllenhaal would portray a soldier who wakes up one day in the body of an unfamiliar commuter forced to relive a train bombing until he can discover who's responsible for it. It's said to be loosely based on screenwriters who experienced a similar dilemma with this story for two years, from Universal to current studio Summit, until they finally were able to pin the whole thing on Groundhog Day.

An animated Antonio Banderas goes native, Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence play dress-up, and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.
· Antonio Banderas will return to Spain for the animated project Goleor, the Scale and the Sword, in which he'll star as well as cast and direct voice talent. The 3-D comic tale follows a would-be knight whose aspirations toward heroism are compromised by his homeland's growing bureaucaracy. Budgeted at 33 million euros (roughly $22 million), it's the most expensive animated film in the country's history, which basically means nothing except to preempt a slew of "How do you say Delgo in Spanish?" jokes. (Too late.) [Variety]
· Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence will co-star in Sheneneh and Wanda, a feature-length reprise of a bit going back to their stand-up days. It involves both men in drag as the bank-robbing title characters. In related news, the landmark case Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vs. Foxx should be reaching the Supreme Court some time early next year. [Variety]
· Not that last year's Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker James Marsh is doing much better: He'll follow Man on Wire with The Vatican Tapes, a Lionsgate B-thriller about a leaked video of an exorcism gone awry. [THR]
· Someone actually set up nearly two dozen 3-D cameras at a series of recent Kenny Chesney concerts, resulting in Sony's planned theatrical release of the forthcoming film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D. And you know what? With a million tickets sold per each of the country star's tours since 2002, that might be the best deal a studio makes this week -- Sheneneh and Wanda notwithstanding. [THR]

Shouldn't Jake be in, like, better movies by now?
Better movie's
Seems that your problem is more along the lines that unrealistic models of masculinity are making you feel frustrated and inadequate as a man.
Rebel, this might be the best post Ive read here yet. It really drives home how this dance between what is law and what is blatant entrapment depends on who plays the tune.
I tried to submit a comment previously, yet it has not shown up. I think your spam filter may possibly be broken?
