Stephen Gaghan is best known, and very awarded, for Syriana and Traffic and he is currently working on the adaptation of novel Dead Spy Running. The result could be a trilogy of films, which 'aims to reinvent the spy genre by telling the origin story of a newly trained spy in a tone that mixes the grittiness of "The Bourne Identity" with the wittiness of John Le Carre's oeuvre. "Spy," to be published in June, begins with the protagonist running the London Marathon, where a fellow racer is strapped with explosives. The scenario leads to a globe-trotting adventure to clear the name of the man's father' (Hollywood Reporter). If any actor looks like he's up for running the London Marathon (which, spookily, is tomorrow), that would be Jake.
As we endure this Jake Movie Hiatus, speculation and rumours hinting at an abundance of future roles eases just a little the impatience and the frustration. Whether they're true or not is an entirely different matter.
The other Luxxe visit
Jake's other visit to Luxxe yesterday was his first of the day and he left not only with one of the cafe's famous delectable pastries but also wearing The Sandals. The saving grace of these sandals and socks is that they hint at Jake bendiness at a preceding yoga session.
Many thanks to IHJ for the new pics - you can find more there.
