Beef was originally conceived as a limited series, but it seems it will continue its life as an anthology series. Netflix is plotting the second chapter of the Emmy-winning series, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway playing lead roles alongside Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.

According to Deadline’s recent report, the second season of Beef will center on two feuding couples, and it will start filming by late summer or fall. Brokeback Mountain and Love & Other Drugs co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are reportedly circling this project, along with two of the biggest breakout stars of the past year – May December’s Charles Melton and Priscilla’s Cailee Spaeny.

Lee Sung Jin, who created Beef for Netflix, repeatedly said he’s open to continuing this story following the success of the first season.

“We always pitched the season to buyers as an anthology series. There was always going to be new characters. Whether it stays limited or turns as an anthology or we continue existing, that’s really up to Netflix. But whatever they decide, I’m definitely ready,” Jin previously told Deadline.

The first season of Beef was led by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, and it was honored with multiple prestigious awards, including eight Emmys and three Golden Globes.

Road House is the latest ’80s classic getting a modern-day remake, and judging by the first trailer—it looks pretty epic! Jake Gyllenhaal stars as UFC fighter turned roadhouse bouncer in the first trailer for Road House, ahead of its upcoming SXSW world premiere.

Doug Liman’s Road House puts a modern twist on the 80s cult classic led by Patrick Swayze. The Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal will take on the lead role this time around, and he’s set to portray an ex-UFC fighter Dalton, who takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse.

Gyllenhaal will be joined by Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Darren Barnet, Arturo Castro, and J.D. Pardo in supporting roles, along with the UFC superstar Conor McGregor in his acting debut.

Road House will have its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 8, but director Doug Liman won’t be in attendance. He decided to miss the premiere as a way of boycotting Amazon’s decision to release this film on their streaming platform Prime Video on March 21 instead of giving it a theatrical release.

“When Road House opens the SXSW film festival, I won’t be attending. The movie is fantastic, maybe my best, and I’m sure it will bring the house down and possibly have the audience dancing in their seats during the end credits. But I will not be there,” said Liman in a statement.

The popular role-playing video game The Division is getting its movie adaptation, and two amazing stars will be in charge of bringing it to life. Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain landed the lead roles in this promising project.

This movie has been in the works for three years, but things finally started heating up after Netflix bosses decided to acquire the rights.

David Leitch, known for his work on Deadpool 2 and the upcoming Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, will be in charge of directing this film.

According to its official synopsis, The Division takes place in the near future, where a pandemic virus is spread via paper money on Black Friday, decimating the city of New York and killing millions. Society has descended into chaos and a group of civilians, trained to operate in catastrophic times, are activated in an attempt to save who and what remains.

The Division was released in 2016, and it quickly became Ubisoft’s best-selling game and had the biggest first-week launch for a new game franchise after earning $330 million over the course of five days.

If you still haven’t had a chance to see Avengers: Endgame, you should probably skip the new trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home, as well. This movie takes place in the world after Marvel’s latest smash hit and deals with its aftermath.

Fans of this record-breaking franchise were convinced that Endgame serves as the final movie of MCU’s phase 3, but all hell broke loose after Marvel bosses reveled one tiny piece of information they’ve been hiding from us all along. Far From Home will actually serve as the end of third phase, and take us to post-Endgame world.

Entire new trailer is actually one big spoiler, and it shows Peter Parker going on a school trip to London and having his vacation ruined by Nick Fury, who recruits him to to team up with Mysterio and fight bad guys who arrived from another dimension.

Spider-Man: Far From Home will be released on July 2, and it stars Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge are taking to the Broadway stage. 

The duo is heading to Broadway for a limited run of Sea Wall/A Life — two solo monologues about fatherhood, loss, and resilience. Opening night has been slated for August 8, and performances will run through September 29 at the Hudson Theater.

According to Variety, each monologue “explores the beauty of life, the meaning of love and the various types of death with dramatic and gravely serious storytelling.” Simon Stephens and Nick Payne penned the show. Carrie Cracknell is directing.

“The longstanding artistic relationships we share and beautiful material from Nick and Simon make this production an especially meaningful collaborative journey,” said Gyllenhaal. “Carrie Cracknell has crafted a true theatrical event from two distinct monologues, which, together, shine a light on the universal experience and heart-filled exploration of the beauty of life and meaning of love. Tom and I are incredibly proud to bring this story to Broadway, and to be returning to the beautiful and historic Hudson Theatre.”

The news was announced Thursday by Gyllenhaal and Sturridge.

Following Peter Parker on his adventures is always a delight, and the next adventure is going to be his most exciting one yet. The first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home is here and summer couldn’t come soon enough.

After trying to keep as much as they can under wraps (despite Tom Holland’s constant attempts to spoil stuff), Marvel finally showed us what to expect in this short clip. Contrary to popular belief, “far from home” is still located on Earth – in Europe to be precise.

This superhero flick was filmed in London, Prague, and Venice, and it sees Peter going on a school trip with his classmates. Needless to say, all hell breaks loose after Nick Fury shows up to recruit him to fight elemental creations that are tearing up London.

The first trailer also offers a first look at Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, but fans are left wondering if he’s friend or foe. We’ll get the answer to this – and many more questions – when Spider-Man: Far From Home hits theaters on July 5.

Danish Oscar entry The Guilty will be getting a remake and the lead actor has already been tapped. Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in the English version of this critically acclaimed suspense thriller.

The Guilty premiered at 2018 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews and even won the World Cinema Audience Award. Denmark submitted it as their Best Foreign Language Film entry at the upcoming Academy Awards. The shortlist of nine titles is yet to be revealed, so we’ll have to wait until December 17 to see if it made the cut.

Jake Gyllenhaal will portray a police officer who was demoted to dispatch duty at an emergency call center. His life turns upside down after he answers a call from a kidnapped woman and must battle his inner demons in order to save her.

The Guilty isn’t the only promising project Gyllenhaal is attached to right now. He recently wrapped up filming Spider-Man: Far From Home and he’s set to start working on mystery thriller Rio, alongside Michelle Williams and Benedict Cumberbatch.

It looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is joining Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he won’t be playing a hero as many would expect. Instead, he will suit up as a villain Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which will serve as a sequel to 2016’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Although it was rumored back in June that Gyllenhaal will be part of the movie, the news remained unconfirmed.

The 37-year-old actor decided to make the confirmation now by posting a short video on his Instagram profile in which he’s seen reading one of the older issues of The Amazing Spider-Man comic which features Mysterio on the front page. The Nightcrawler star captioned the video with: “I just realized I’m not playing Spider-Man.” Check it out below.

Jake Gyllenhaal almost played Spider-Man at one point in his career. Director Sam Raimi considered casting him as the wall-crawling superhero in the second movie of his Spider-Man trilogy since original star Tobey Maguire had issues with his health. However, Maguire ended up recovering before the film entered the production and Gyllenhaal moved on to other roles. It seems fitting now that he returns as one of Spider-Man’s arch rivals.

Although there were several incarnations of the character depicted in the comics, the most popular Mysterio remains Quentin Beck. Although he doesn’t possess any superhuman powers, Beck is highly skilled when it comes to special effects and illusions, while also being a hypnotist. The character made his comic debut in 1964 with The Amazing Spider-Man #13, while also being featured in other media like video games and animated movies and TV series.

Spider-Man: Far From Home wrapped up filming in October and is scheduled for release on July 5, 2019, in the United States.

Meeting up with an old friend in Brazil sounds like an adventure of a lifetime, and Benedict Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal are the ones taking us there. The duo just joined exciting new thriller Rio, but something tells us it won’t be as lighthearted and colorful as the animated movie of the same name.

The upcoming project centers on two old friends who end up meeting in Rio de Janeiro after years spent apart. Financial reporter played by (Gyllenhaal) travels to Brazil’s most opulent city to visit his wealthy buddy (Cumberbatch). Things take a turn for the worst after he gets himself into an elaborate plot to fake his friend’s death.

Watching Cumberbatch and Gyllenhaal play against each other isn’t the only reason to get excited about Rio. The script will be written by Steven Knight, who has a great track record with the crime genre. He gave us two of the most critically acclaimed TV dramas in recent memory with Peaky Blinders and Taboo. Knight is also one of the screenwriters of the highly anticipated The Girl in the Spider’s Web.

Edward Berger’s involvement is another reason to get super-pumped about Rio. He already worked with Cumberbatch on the critically acclaimed mini-series Patrick Melrose. Berger took over from Luca Guadagnino, who was originally attached to the project but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

It looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is joining Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he won’t be playing a hero as many would expect. Instead, he will suit up as a villain Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which will serve as a sequel to 2016’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Although it was rumored back in June that Gyllenhaal will be part of the movie, the news remained unconfirmed.

The 37-year-old actor decided to make the confirmation now by posting a short video on his Instagram profile in which he’s seen reading one of the older issues of The Amazing Spider-Man comic which features Mysterio on the front page. The Nightcrawler star captioned the video with: “I just realized I’m not playing Spider-Man.” Check it out below.

Jake Gyllenhaal almost played Spider-Man at one point in his career. Director Sam Raimi considered casting him as the wall-crawling superhero in the second movie of his Spider-Man trilogy since original star Tobey Maguire had issues with his health. However, Maguire ended up recovering before the film entered the production and Gyllenhaal moved on to other roles. It seems fitting now that he returns as one of Spider-Man’s arch rivals.

Although there were several incarnations of the character depicted in the comics, the most popular Mysterio remains Quentin Beck. Although he doesn’t possess any superhuman powers, Beck is highly skilled when it comes to special effects and illusions, while also being a hypnotist. The character made his comic debut in 1964 with The Amazing Spider-Man #13, while also being featured in other media like video games and animated movies and TV series.

Spider-Man: Far From Home wrapped up filming in October and is scheduled for release on July 5, 2019, in the United States.

Meeting up with an old friend in Brazil sounds like an adventure of a lifetime, and Benedict Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal are the ones taking us there. The duo just joined exciting new thriller Rio, but something tells us it won’t be as lighthearted and colorful as the animated movie of the same name.

The upcoming project centers on two old friends who end up meeting in Rio de Janeiro after years spent apart. Financial reporter played by (Gyllenhaal) travels to Brazil’s most opulent city to visit his wealthy buddy (Cumberbatch). Things take a turn for the worst after he gets himself into an elaborate plot to fake his friend’s death.

Watching Cumberbatch and Gyllenhaal play against each other isn’t the only reason to get excited about Rio. The script will be written by Steven Knight, who has a great track record with the crime genre. He gave us two of the most critically acclaimed TV dramas in recent memory with Peaky Blinders and Taboo. Knight is also one of the screenwriters of the highly anticipated The Girl in the Spider’s Web.

Edward Berger’s involvement is another reason to get super-pumped about Rio. He already worked with Cumberbatch on the critically acclaimed mini-series Patrick Melrose. Berger took over from Luca Guadagnino, who was originally attached to the project but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
