Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have teamed up again, this time for a very different movie. Now all I can say (because I’m slightly speechless after watching the video) is HOTNESS!!

Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won’t let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie’s evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. Based on Jamie Reidy’s memoir “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman.”

About five months ago I ran a positive research-screening review (based on a talk with a guy I know and trust) of Ed Zwick‘s Love and Other Drugs (20th Century Fox, 11.24). Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Big Pharma, Viagra, early-stage Parkinson’s. On 7.28 another good review popped up, based on a recent Kansas City showing. I don’t know the author but he calls himself Shep and has a reasonably well-written blog called “What Is Wrong With The World Today?”

“Love and Other Drugs is by far the best romantic comedy I’ve seen,” he explains. “It’s smart, sexy, raunchy and hilarious. The chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Hathaway works very well, and their relationship is very believable. Josh Gad’s character adds the raunchy Hangover-style guy comedy needed to keep the male half of a couple interested.

“Director-cowriter Ed Zwick’s interpretation of Jamie Reidy’s novel Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman translates extremely well to the big screen and made me want to read the book. (The screenplay is by Zwick, Marshall Herzkovitz and Charles Randolph.) I know — the movie is never as good.

“But overall the film works, the cast (including costars Oliver Platt and Hank Azaria) has been perfectly picked, and I would totally recommend it.

“Hopefully Love and Other Drugs will do well at the box-office and cause a trend toward romcoms that work for both members of the sexes. I’m giving it four and a half stars.”

I love my work and care about it,” Jake Gyllenhaal said in this recent interview. “But I’m beginning to have a great sense of humor about it because I just don’t feel like there’s any need to take it all that seriously.”

With that declaration, Jake proceeded to give mostly tongue-in-cheek answers to questions. The actor’s jesting mood also stemmed from the movie he was promoting, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” After all, when you’re talking about a movie that was adapted from a video game, you can’t be all that serious. But the film, directed by Mike Newell (“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, will probably make tons of money.

Jake said he made “Prince of Persia,” which co-stars Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina, so moviegoers will “have a good time…This movie awakened that kid in me again. I made it for families. My aunt called me the other day and she was like, ‘Hey, this is a movie that your cousins can finally see.”

AWARD-WINNING movie star Jake Gyllenhaal has revealed his true ambition – to play for the USA in the World Cup.

The Brokeback Mountain actor comes from a renowned showbiz family – his dad Stephen is a director, mum Naomi is a screenwriter, sister Maggie is a famous actress and his godparents are Jamie Lee Curtis and the late Paul Newman.

But, as a kid, the star of new swashbuckler Prince Of Persia only wanted to shine on the football pitch.

He still has that burning love for the beautiful game and is excited about the World Cup kicking off in South Africa next month.

He told the Sunday Mail: “There is a very early entry in my diary, from when I was six, and it says ‘soccer is my life!’ “I played school soccer and it became my obsession.

“Of course, I’ll be watching the games. I would really like to go to the World Cup finals.”

The USA are in the same group as England, Algeria and Slovenia, and the 29-year-old is rooting for his nation to make the next stage of the competition.

He said: “For the first time I can say that America is my team and not have people roll their eyes or nod in a kind of pitying way.

“I think we have a great team and real potential to definitely show something for the first time.” Sports-mad Jake – he regularly goes for 12-mile runs or works up a sweat on demanding cycling circuits – is in London for tonight’s world premiere of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

Inspired by a hit computer game, it’s an epic Arabian romp in which he and Bond girl Gemma Arterton team up to defy dark forces. Naturally the baddie, played by Sir Ben Kingsley, is bent on world domination by means of a magical dagger and only the young twosome can stop him.

Although he is a fitness fanatic, the actor had to go through r igorous preparation to get in shape for the f ilm’s demanding action sequences. It meant learning parkour – a technique that allows you to run up walls or along rooftops seemingly effortlessly- as well as training for the sword-fighting scenes.

Jake said: “There’s no reason to do a movie like this if you can’t do the stunts.

“It was all about being able to do everything that was asked of me. So I got into the best shape I could, with running, parkour training, weightlifting and horse-riding.”

Despite the careful planning of action and stunts, Jake still got a few injuries along the way but shrugs offthe knocks and bruises.

He said: “Sometimes there was a little pulling and tearing of tendons and some little muscle things and bruises and cuts, but it was no big deal. I accepted that aches and pains are part of the job.”

Jake had the same true grit attitude about filming on location in Morocco where cast and crew had to cope with sandstorms and temperatures that soared to 125F.

He said: “It was hot but it was fun. The desert is really cleansing, the sand exfoliates your skin and there is a nice, warm, dry sun. I definitely breathed in my share of sand.”

It’s evident that Jake – who won a Bafta for Brokeback Mountain and also starred in Donnie Darko and The Day After Tomorrow – revels in his work.

He reveals he was excited just driving to the massive film sets which were created in the desert for Prince Of Persia.

“It was like going to a sporting event when you are the captain of the team,” enthuses Jake.

“There were cars lined up along the road for five miles and there was an army of film crew and the sets were 100-feet high! Every day I did feel like a kid.”

The film also helped him realise another childhood ambition – to have his own action figure. He said: “That is like fulfilling the dreams that I had when I was eight.

“When he is playing with an action figure what young boy doesn’t think that maybe one day… ? “So to be one is incredible. If you were to go back to the eight-year-old me and say that one day I will be in a movie that looks a little like Indiana Jones and it is the video game that I am actually playing, called The Prince Of Persia… I think that my head would have exploded.”

As always appears to be the case, Jake has a busy work schedule. He is filming a science fiction thriller titled Source Code, but before that hits the screen he’ll be seen in a couple of other movies.

One is Nailed, a bizarre comedy in which he is a young senator who takes up the case of Jessica Biel, a waitress who has accidentally had a nail stuck in her head.

And he also stars in another wacky comedy titled Love And Other Drugs in which he is cast as a Viagra salesman. He jokes: “That research was interesting.”

If Prince Of Persia becomes the smash hit that is anticipated, Jake could also find himself starring in a Pirates Of The Caribbean-style film franchise.

There are other Prince Of Persia computer games which could be adapted for the screen and he loves the idea of returning to the desert for more movie adventures. “I am totally game,” added Jake. “I love the character and his world. I think it is super fun.”

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time is released on May 21.

Coming from a family steeped in the business, Jake Gyllenhaal knows the routine. When it comes to promoting a film, you can never say enough good things about your co-stars.

“It’s true, actors do this stuff: ‘Oh, he’s great — he pisses lemonade and he shits rainbows,”‘ he says.

But no more. Such was the positive experience Gyllenhaal enjoyed with his new best buddy Tobey Maguire in Brothers, he’s committed to working on projects where the camaraderie is real.

“I don’t believe any more I can make a movie when I don’t care … about the other people in the process,” says the actor, whose father is a director, his mother a writer and sister is the Oscar-nominated Maggie Gyllenhaal. “I don’t think I’m any good when I don’t interact.”

Once poised to take over from Maguire in the Spider-Man franchise, 29-year-old Gyllenhaal credits his on-screen brother for initiating a meaningful and professionally rich relationship when the pair decided to do the film.

“We’d work out together, we’d play basketball together,” Gyllenhaal says. “Not only is he a great actor, he’s also a great producer in some ways.

“He’s 100 per cent always involved.”

Gyllenhaal’s career has remained buoyant since he was nominated for an Oscar alongside Heath Ledger for Brokeback Mountain in 2005, although he’s yet to become the next ubiquitous Hollywood star as many had expected. Ironically, Gyllenhaal turned down the lead role in the blockbuster Avatar but with a raft of diverse roles, including the big-budget Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, coming to screens this year, he is destined to reinforce his reputation as a marquee name.

“Working on a movie like Prince of Persia was awesome,” he says. “It was really great fun to be like an action hero, jump around and run off walls and fight bad guys, have great quippy lines. Wearing half your clothes is always really fun.”

Gyllenhaal worked furiously for seven months to hone his physique for the fantasy adventure movie, based on the video game series of the same name. The $US150 million ($164 million) film is scheduled for a May release.

He has other significant films in the can, among them Love and Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway and the comedy Nailed alongside Jessica Biel.

Gyllenhaal is now shooting sci-fi thriller Source Code, capping a hectic 12 months during which time he also split from his partner, Reese Witherspoon.

“Whatever I dreamed and hoped for in my career and life is not how it’s gone in a lot of ways and I love that.”
