Jake Gyllenhaal says of the role, “I’m tired of taking myself so seriously. It’s nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, ‘Actors don’t normally do this.’”

Jerry Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persia lands in theaters on May 28, 2010.

Maguire’s character, Sam, was captured but returns home and becomes suspicious that his wife and brother may have slept together. Definitely not a feel-good holiday movie.

The musical team behind “Hairspray” are producing “Damn Yankees,” which got its start on Broadway in 1955 (earning seven Tony Awards).

Damn Yankees’ main characters are Joe Boyd, who makes a deal with the devil to play baseball as slugger Joe Hardy. The deal can be reversed but his deadline is during the World Series. Lost soul Lola is around to seduce him and lock in the deal.

Jim Carrey will play the devil, while Jake Gyllenhaal will play Boyd.

Is the next step a wedding? No Reese Witherspoon/Jake Gyllenhaal wedding news to report just yet, but it sounds like moving in together is a step in the right direction.

Daviegh Chase will return as Donnie’s younger sister (Samantha Darko), while Ed Westwick (Gossip Girls’ Chuck Bass), Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) and Justin Chatwin (Dragon Ball) have also joined the cast.

S. Darko will pick up the story seven years after the first Donnie Darko film, following Samantha Darko (now 18) and friend Corey on a roadtrip to Los Angeles. The pair will have their share of bizarre visions while on the road.

Will you go see the Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko?

No sh*t, Sherlock dept: A friend of Jake Gyllenhaal says that he is taking Heath Ledger’s death harder than most people. Uh, duh. Maybe that’s because he was actually a close friend, unlike a lot of other stars that were asked about Ledger? It takes more than a week to get over someone you cared about. Sometimes years or decades. Should he have been partying and making out with someone instead, like Mary-Kate Olsen was supposedly doing?

On top of Ledger’s death, Gyllenhaal also has to deal with criticism about his relationship with Reese Witherspoon – from his mother (Naomi Foner) and ex Kirsten Dunst, no less.

Give me a break dept: Apparently the relationship between Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal is drawing negative response from Ryan Phillipe (her ex), Kirsten Dunst (his ex), and Naomi Foner (his mother). If this story is true, then Kirsten had hoped to reunite with Gyllenhaal. And supposedly his mother had hoped he would find a younger woman. Meoooowwww. Witherspoon turns 32 in March. What an old bag. Gyllenhaal will be 28 in December. Dunst will be 26 in April.

Witherspoon with appear in Tokyo Suckerpunch and Four Christmases this year. Gyllenhaal will appear in Brothers this year. Rumor is that they’re getting closer to an engagement.
