JAKE GYLLENHAAL ON CREATING THE CHARACTERS ADAM AND ANTHONY IN ENEMY

What would you do if you discover someone who looks exactly like you?

The reality of finding your doppelganger or a mirror image or yourself is the intriguing premise of the upcoming psychosexual thriller ENEMY, released by Solar Pictures.




Based on the novel “The Double” by José Saramago, ENEMY tells the story of a university lecturer named Adam (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is nearing the end of a relationship with his girlfriend Mary (Melanie Laurent). One night, while watching a film, Adam spots a minor actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his double, Adam tracks down Anthony (Jake Gyllenhaal), an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen (Sarah Gadon) and engages him in a complex and dangerous struggle.

“In terms of finding a lead actor for these dual parts, I was looking for someone who I would be able to share creativity and collaborate with,” notes Academy Award Nominated director Denis Villeneuve (INCENDIES, PRISONERS).

“In Jake I found someone that was highly intelligent and creative. He had a beautiful vision for the characters. It’s always fantastic for a director when your lead actor is so good that you can just follow him instead of telling him where to go. I love that.”

“When Jake's name was first put on the table we immediately realized we needed him,” recalls ENEMY Spanish producer Miguel A. Faura. “Not only is he an extremely gifted actor capable of delivering the wide range of subtleties needed for these two roles, but he has always showcased his taste and love for art and cinema in each role he has taken on. When he said yes, we felt not only lucky, but reaffirmed about the inner quality of our project.”

“First and foremost I wanted to make this movie because I think Denis is an incredible filmmaker,” says Gyllenhaal. “I was really drawn to the incredible script which offered an interesting blueprint for what Denis wanted to do with this idea. When I first met with Denis and talked about the film, his idea of what it was and what he wanted it to be far surpassed what the script was saying.”

Gyllenhaal had the unique task of playing two different characters that become entwined in each other’s lives. As can be expected, there was a delicate dance involved in creating the similarities and differences between the two characters. Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal agreed early on that the differences between Adam and Anthony should lie in subtleties.



“There are so many ways that you can go with this movie and I think probably the hardest one, the most interesting one, was making Adam and Anthony as close to each other as possible,” notes Gyllenhaal. “There’s the world in which one character has a beard and the other one doesn't and one talks with a funny accent and the other one doesn't. That would have been an incredibly vain way of going about it and I think, in a way, that's exactly what this movie isn't about.”

“I made choices early on about the characters and, as a result, Adam and Anthony started to separate from each other. I knew that I had to fall in love with both of them and that there couldn't be any judgment for either of the characters even while being in the scene with the other one,” explains Gyllenhaal. “What’s interesting about playing two characters in the same scene is the literal comparison of what you’re doing. I actually created the character of Adam before Anthony even showed up on the scene and the first time I worked as Anthony was when he was right across from Adam.” The film centers on Adam’s psychological struggle and, as Gyllenhaal notes, the notion of struggle is very apparent in both Adam and Anthony. “These two characters are struggling with the same thing in a different way but inevitably one of them has to let go and give up in order for the other to survive. The question of which one it’s going to be is ultimately what the movie is about,” states Gyllenhaal.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS (Movie Review) A movie you would like to watch over and over

I was one of the luckiest people on earth to watch
The Fault In Our Stars earlier than the rest of the world, l liked the book so much so I can't help myself from boasting that I was one of the few bloggers/readers who witnessed the #LittleInfinities Screening last May 12, 2014 in Greenbelt Cinema, too bad I was too busy to actually write a review about it, I just do not want the nerdfighters who wasn't able to come to be so envious just like what happened on my personal facebook account, a lot were shocled why I watched it too early:)
www.facebook.com/joseph.henrie.5




This is just a short review so this won't look like a spoiler:)

To those who read the book:

Lucky us that John Green was there all throughout the shooting period so the movie was very faithful to the book, although some scenes were deleted (but relax only the minor ones), the remarkables moments were there, scenes that made the readers and viewers laugh and cry.

There were flaws but there were a lot more to celebrate while watching, it felt different seeing my favorite scenes come to life in the bigscreen with background music and all. I was smiling the whole time with the lighter scenrs and I was actually holding my tears on those heavy scenes but there were moments that tears became uncontrollable and the scenes were so heartfelt so how can I not cry?

One of the few movie adaptations
who won't fail your expectations after reading:)


For those who are not readers:

This is a heartwarming love story of this Century. It's a cancer story about hoping, loving and enjoying life
A lot of life's lesson when you read and when you watch. It features disease and dying on a lighter perspective, Hazel Grace played by Shailene Woodley was very effective in showcasing so much optimism out of a hopeless disease. On the other hand, Gus played by Ansel Elgort was a charmer, new to the business, not that effective but I can't think of any other actor who can do how he played the character.

A movie adaptation that would let you read the movie after watching:)






I informed Kris Aquino, the Philippines Queen of all Media via Instagram a week before the screening, I just didnt know where she got her invites, too bad I went inside the cinema late,when the movie was about to start so I didnt get the chance to have a long conversation but she said Hi when I initiated an hello and goodbye when she had to leave early for her show. I was peeking on her during heavy scenes and she was crying a lot. A testimony that the movie was good and heartwarming.

On her show, she said that it is her favorite movie to date and of course her favorite book of all time and she will rewatch the film on June 5.

If people ask me if the movie was good?
The answer will be:

I will rewatch the film:)
Over and over

Days of the Future Past

An inspiring film to mold your present cunningly smart, practice loyalty and always hope more:)
A marvel film that toned down with fight scenes and focused with emotional dimension and undercurrent that the earlier xmen films only aspired to.

The Evan Peters as Quicksilver slow kitchen scene
was my favorite part:)
The heart and the soul of the film were undoublty Jennifer Lawrence as Raven/Mystique and James McAvoy as young Professor X



Please watch it in cinemas with DOLBY ATMOS it doesnt need to be in 3D:)
This film needs a crisp digital sound technology more than a visual feast.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: The Winter Soldier casts are all set for a great action experince onMARCH 26, 2014

After the Avengers journey in New Your,  Captain America was living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, C.A. becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with Black Widow, to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off assailants sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemies.



The story will likely be in the present day with flashback elements for more period World War II stuff, made baggy enough to refer to more stories in the past of:

■ Chris Evans as Steve Rogers /Captain America

Steve Rogers is a World War II veteran who was enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, frozen in suspended animation, and is now struggling to adjust to the modern world.  Describing his character's adjustment to the modern world, Evans said, "It’s not so much about his shock with technology... It’s more about the societal differences.

He’s gone from the ’40s to today; he comes from a world where people were a little more trusting, the threats not as deep. Now, it’s harder to tell who’s right and wrong. Actions you take to protect people from threats could compromise liberties and privacy. That’s tough for Steve to swallow. Evans received training in parkour,Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing and gymnastics, as the Russo brothers believed that bringing Steve Rogers into the modern day also meant that he had studied and mastered modern fighting styles and techniques.



The story became more exciting with the ensemble table of the following:

■ Scarlett Johansson as
Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow

A highly trained spy working for S.H.I.E.L.D., who partners with Rogers. Screenwriter Christopher Markus said that Black Widow was a "great contrast" to Captain America, describing her as "incredibly modern, not very reverent, and just very straightforward whereas Steve is, you know a man from the 40s. He’s not a boy scout, but he is reserved and has a moral center, whereas her moral center moves." The Russos added, "She’s a character who lies for a living. That’s what she does. He’s a character who tells the truth. Give them a problem and they’ll have different ways of approaching it. She’s pushing him to modernize, and he’s pushing her to add a certain level of integrity to her life." When asked about Natasha's relationship with Steve,

Johansson said, "By a series of unfortunate encounters, they will be in a situation in which their friendship becomes more intimate. They share many similarities because they live on the defensive without relying on anyone. Also, the two have been working for the government throughout their professional careers. With their friendship they begin to question what they want and what is their true identity.

■ Sebastian Stan as
James "Bucky" Barnes / Winter Soldier:

Steve Rogers' best friend, who has reemerged as an enhanced brainwashed assassin after being thought killed in action during World War II. Winter Soldier has been methodically, almost robotically, following orders for 70 years Stan, who has a nine-picture deal with Marvel Studios including his appearance in The First Avenger, endured five months of physical training to prepare for the role and did historical research stating, "I dove into the whole Cold War thing. Anything about brainwashing Regarding Bucky's transition into the Winter Soldier, Stan said, "You know, the truth of the situation is although he looks very different and there’s different things about him, it still comes from the same person. I think you’ll get to see that no matter what. I think part of my goal here was to make sure that you see an extension of that version but just a different color of that same version in a way. I think he’s still the same guy; he’s cut from the same cloth.

 ■ Anthony Mackie as
 Sam Wilson / Falcon:

An ex-paratrooper trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack. About the role, Mackie stated that he spent five months doing two-a-day workouts and eating an 11,000 calorie per day diet to get into shape for the role. Commenting on Rogers' relationship with Wilson, Evans said, "Meeting Mackie’s character, he used to serve, now he works at the VA counseling guys who come home with PTSD — they connect on that level. I think they’re both wounded warriors who don’t bleed on other people. Cap has no one to bleed on. I think Mackie knows how to handle people like that. … Sometimes when things are bad, trusting a stranger is the way to go.

 ■ Cobie Smulders as
Maria Hill:

A high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who works closely with Nick Fury.


■ Frank Grillo as
Brock Rumlow:

An operative in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counter-terrorismS.T.R.I.K.E. team.  About the character, Grillo said, "He is a bad ass guy. [He] pretty much beats the shit out of everyone in the movie and that’s really it.

 ■ Emily VanCamp as
Sharon Carter / Agent 13:

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent assigned to guard Rogers without his knowledge. She had a very complicated relationship with Captain America. Joe Russo said, "We wanted someone that Cap would have an immediate interest in. It had to be a strong-willed person, and we felt that Emily’s work on Revengewas a great test tube for what this character could be. She’s obviously very credible with physicality, she holds the screen really well, and she even looks like the character from the books

■ Hayley Atwell as
Peggy Carter:

A retired officer with the Strategic Scientific Reserve and former love interest of Captain America.

 ■ Robert Redford as
Alexander Pierce:


A senior leader within S.H.I.E.L.D., a member of the World Security Council and an old comrade ofNick Fury. Redford was cast in part as a homage to his roles in 1970s thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor As to what attracted him to the film.

Redford “"I wanted to experience this new form of filmmaking that’s taken over where you have kind of cartoon characters brought to life through high technology’.

 ■ Samuel L. Jackson as
Nick Fury:

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Regarding Fury's questionable code of ethics, Jackson said, "Almost everything that comes out of Nick Fury’s mouth is a lie in some sense. He has to ask, is he even lying to himself, too? He has a very good idea of what’s going on but his paranoia keeps him from believing some of it.




●●●●> Additionally, Toby Jones Maximiliano Hernández,Dominic Cooper and Garry Shandling reprise their roles from previous MCU films as Arnim Zola,Jasper Sitwell, Howard Stark and Senator Stern, respectively.
Georges St-Pierre plays Georges Batroc, a mercenary and a master of the French form of kickboxing known as savate.

 ● Chin Han, Jenny Agutter (who previously appeared in The Avengers as a member of the World Security Council)

● Alan Dale and Bernard White were cast as members of Pierce's S.H.I.E.L.D. team.

● Callan Mulvey was cast in an unspecified supporting role in the film.

DIVERGENT - The Most Successful E-Book (to date) is all set at the Bigscreen on March 20

The HarperCollins Publishers most successful e-book to date, in terms of sales and  the Favorite book of 2011 in 2011's Goodreads Choice Awards – DIVERGENT is all set to be shown in the bigscreen on March 20, 2014 in the Philippines and March 21, 2014 in the United States.



Divergent is an upcoming fictional adventure film directed by Neil Burger, based on the debut hit novel of American author Veronica Roth and the first installment in the Divergent trilogy. This story set within a dystopian version of Chicago, wherein the city is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant for the selfless; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite, meant for the knowledgeable. On a given day each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them for which faction they are best suited. After receiving the results of their test, they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a new faction.

According to writer Evan Daugherty,  the movie was tough but of equal importance of the love story between Tris and Four played by Shailene Woodley (Tris) and Theo James (Four). It's inherently and inextricably linked to Tris' character journey. There will be plenty of sexual tension and chemistry, but it's important that all of that stuff doesn't just feel like it's thrown in, but that it all helps Tris grow as a character. Other stars included are Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Jai Courtney, Miles Teller, and Kate Winslet. Ansel Elgort will be Shailene Woodley’s brother in this film before they play their roles as lovers in the Upcoming film Fault in Our Stars in June this year.



Author Veronica Roth said about the script of the film:

"Reading a script is a really interesting experience. I'd never read a script before. I was really impressed by how closely it stuck to the general plot line of the book."

Initially budget of the film was $40 million but later Lionsgate increased it to $80 million due to the success of The Hunger Games.  Analyst Ben Mogil said, "Divergent is more similar to Hunger Games in that the company owns the underlying economics and the budget is more manageable.

 Some reviews about the book (Divergent) for additonal ideas on how the book was received since the film was not shown yet: In a review in The New York Times, Susan Dominus wrote that it was "rich in plot and imaginative details", but also that, compared to other such books in the same genre as the Hunger Games trilogy, it did "not exactly distinguish itself".  Kirkus Reviews said it was "built with careful details and intriguing scope".Common Sense Media commented on the book's "deep messages about identity and controlling societies" and on the "unstoppable plot that's remarkably original". It was rated 5 out of 5 stars and given an age 12+ rating.  (wikipedia.com)



Divergent started Filming in Chicago in April 2013 and ended on July 16, 2013. Post-production work began after filming concluded.  In July 18 2013 Lionsgate announced that the film will be released in IMAX format.

Last May 7, 2013, Summit Entertainment revealed that a sequel, related on Insurgent, is already in the works. Brian Duffield, was announced to write the script.The sequel is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2015. The third film, based on Allegiant, is scheduled for March 18, 2016.  Neil Burger will not return for the sequels and was replaced by  Robert Schwentke for the next installment.

NON STOP (Movie Review) Insanely Compelling and Extremely Thrilling

The NON STOP movie was a destruction of the idea that all Liam Neeson action movies are alike and also a proof that if it is a Liam Neeson action flick it is extremely thrilling and insanely good.

NON STOP
was a mystery -thrilling film that happened on a flight from New York City to London. The tension started when U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) receives a series of text messages from an unknown passenger instructing to transfer $150 million into his bank account, if he fails to comply and secure the money, he threatened to kill one passenger every 20 minutes. With over 150 passengers and crew members, Bill Marks should find the way to solve the mystery and uncover the motives of the culprit.

The newest 2014 Oscars best supporting actress Lupita Nyong'o is also included in the stellar cast joining the beautiful and outstanding Julianne Moore and Michelle Dockery

Reminder:
Non-Stop is not a sequel nor related to the movie TAKEN and UNKNOWN, with lesser action sequences but it has the cognate amount of energy and tension that was trully heart-stopping and worth watching!

It was an insanely compelling action film that can dash you at the edge your seat while wobbling your mind and leaving you breathless:)

300 : Rise of an Empire (Movie Review) Bloody yet Visually Dazzling, Exciting Exceptional Epic

I fell inlove with it's dark yet exceptional Cinematography, it was visually dazzling even with too much blood and war.It was created in such manner that the audience would really enjoy the real 3D and IMAX admission.

It was a bloody masterpiece but was deviated from being too dreadful. It was created for audience to get hooked and engaged even with all the gory encounters.

The movie centers on General Themistocles of Athens and Artemisia I of Caria, as well as Xerxes I of Persia, and Gorgo, Queen of Sparta. But Artemesia played by Eva Green was the outstanding character, Green made a remarkable villain performance. The Battle of Salamis - naval war between Themistocles and Artemisia troops had the most thrilling scenes, the dumbfounding water battle tactics between both parties were created with so much thrill and excitement leading to getting hooked and asking for more.



The film was heart wrenching but engaging, few times I was at the edge of my seat and a lot of times shunning, thingking I might got struck with something deadly from the scenes. It was an action fantasy film that doesn't need stellar casts to showcase brilliance at the bigscreen .

Mr. Peabody and Sherman (Movie Review) Surprisingly Geeky and Engagingly Witty

Present day animated films created in 3D format are more focus on visual entertainment. We cannot hide the fact, that vibrant colorful festive images are more amusing to the kids resulting to few cartoon films nowadays, focusing on the content to give out delightful experience to the audience of all ages.

Mr. Peabody and Sherman was actually a proof that not all animations are just for visual feast. The movie is about a hyper-intelligent dog, Mr Peabody, and the young boy, Sherman, he adopts. The movie was surprisingly geeky, it was informative without being boring. The plot involves large amounts of time traveling in which Sherman learns about everything from the French Revolution to the fall of Troy, Egyptian marital rites to Leonardo da Vinci's painting technique and the Greek warriors.

It was an engaging witty story that kids and kids at heart would trully enjoy. A delightful experience and at the same time an entertaining snitcher of our affluent history. Fun and fast paced film but creator did not forget affixing a heart on it.

THE BOOK THIEF (Movie Review) Heart wrenching yet enticingly gilt-edge classic

THE BOOK THIEF was a gratifying masterpiece on how innocence survived a dark era. An enticing story about war, letting go, stealing and even death without being too painful and violent.



The movie was based on a 2005 novel of the same title by Markus Zusak. A story of an innocent girl Liesel Meminger (Sophie Nelisse) who was adopted into a German family (Emily Watson and Geoffry Rush) living in small village of Nazi Germany in 1938. The American- German war, anti-Jewish pogroms, Hitler Youth groups, conscription, book burning, daylight bombing and Nazi Parties were safely projected in the bigscreen to entice viewers of all ages about the story of Liesel without being too rutal and violent despite the chaotic era.

The actors were undoubtly brilliant! Emily Watson was so effective being a monster mother hidding her big heart. Geoffry Rush was phenomenal, funny at times but unfailingly endearing as a father figure.
The new comer Sophie Nelisse was a pleasant surprise and portrayed the book thief character like no other. The catbird seat of the film was not just the story but the cinematography, musical score and the great lambent actors.



The film represents much of what has been said on the book. It was narrated in such a manner that you find yourself situated on how to live in such those times. The heart wrenching dilemma of watching people suffer at the expense and benefit of the others. Yet there is still lies a glimmer of hope that in every aspect of darkness, light would just shimmer in the most unexpected time.

It was trully captivating and a heartwarming film
It really catches the heart and the spirit of the book.
Something we can share to the young ones despite the concept of war and stealing.



One of the few masterpiece that will never let you go and leave you bewildered at any part of the story even if you haven't read the book or not even a World History enthusiast.
A brilliant film about surviving despite the vulnarability, nothingness, hostilities, and nearth death deals...

AMERICAN HUSTLE (Short Review) Ensemble Cast Making Uncanny Brilliance

Director David O. Rusell was insanely good in creating the ABC of brilliance and the ABC of making a doozy funny masterpiece.

A- dams
B-ale
C-ooper

The catbird seat of AMERICAN HUSTLE was not the story but how the actors transformed into remarkable characters and how these characters made a great film through acting lambency and great protrayal.

The ABC of the film were really superb throughout the abscam showcase, an arab scam fictional yet enigmatic to the 1970's scam in the United States.
On the other hand, the newly found gem of hollywood Jennifer Lawrence created an appalling and appealing character in the film. She was in her elements without overacting. She was effective in doing a mature floozy funny wife as Rosalyn Rosenfeld for Christian Bale as Irving Rosenfeld. If the film has ABC, Lawrence was the surprise spice of David Russell's masterpiece.



The characters were immoral swindlers but turned out to be inspiring and effective in giving us the real deal about being bad as a citizen but being good in some aspects of life: reality, truth, trust and love:)



American Hustle is one of the few films who sustains entertainment even with too much talking and narration. The script and lines were remarkable.
The film was playful, antic and absurdly fantastic!

It was a riot and hustle of brilliance and greatness from the cast to the creators!
Slow clap:)

THE LEGO MOVIE : Short Review - Playful yet Heartfelt

Seing "THE TOY OF THE CENTURY" in the brigscreen brought back so much childhood playtime memories and just like playing with those colorful bricks, the flick was truly fascinating and an imagination knock up.

Not going too far from the vision of Ole Kirk Christiansen and the rest of the Lego Group in creating lego, the movie was not just about fun and playing with the bricks it was more about building our own character, making our mark in our society and building a community through trust and teamwork.



The action-packed unique animation was a visual delight that kids would truly enjoy in 3D. The creator was successful in making fast pacing, noisy and loud film avoiding dull moments but keeping the plot easy to follow. The twists made the film unpredictable but it remained relatable to kiddos and the kiddos at heart.



The plot literally serves the right and wrong in playing with lego toys but the story of the Emmet will teach viewers the importance of uniqueness in everything we do. We must be different but we must not deviate from what is right and what is good to many. In our own little way we can make great things. As they always say in the movie You are"Special" and We are "Awesome"...

Lego was not just created as "something to play" but "something to build", that, I didnt fully realize when I was a child. The reason why my parents let me play with the bricks is not just to enjoy but to simply make my brain works and enhance my skills visually, physically and mentally.

And those lessons and goals were successfully amplified and projected in the bigscreen. The Lego Movie was made to entertain and to be heartfelt by viewers in all ages.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - it was no't a film, it was a masterpiece

Sometimes we are so desperate to achieve the things larger than life, that we forget to value the small things and the people around
-- one big lesson I learned
from the adventures of Walter Mitty



But it was not about just playing safe and be contented of what you already have. Ben Stiller played it right in showcasing the fun of risk taking and the goodness of valuing what you already have.

It was an extraordinary story but it embraces our own unique story, each of us has a piece of this adventure. Something we trully can relate to. It was moving, funny and inspiring.

The Cinematography was excellent! It made me want to travel the world. The scenes was not too colorful but there were something about the moments and shots that are visually pleasing and relaxing. Ben Stiller was no doubt a brillian filmmaker and actor. He made sense without getting too deep, that made the movie a relatable fun adventure:)



The movie is for the dreamers and achievers.
For the risk takerd and to those who
always play safe.
To the photographers, travellers, writers...
To all those who work hard and
also for the lazy bums.
To all those who love life and to those who hate their own...

This is for all of us!
It was The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and perhaps our own simple stories turned extraordinary larger than life:)

Jack Ryan: The Shadow Recruit Review - Intense and Intelligent

An intelligent action packed film, blending intense scenes from the City of Manhattan and thrilling moments in Moscow.



Excrutiatingly Good and The story was easy to follow.
It was made even more exciting with the unparalled acting talent of Kevin Costner, hunky charm of Chris Pine, effective villain role of Kenneth Branagh and lovely character of Keira Knightly.

There were moments I ended at the edge of my seat, It was not just about fight scenes, It was intense at the same time mind blowing. Definitely a good film to start the year, simple yet exciting, wild but not too bloody and not extravagant yet remarkable.
