Letzthin gabs eine kleine Diskussion in Siennas LJ, dass er nur bei J. Kimmel den Film promoten würde. Das stimmt offenbar.
ich hab immer mal mal wieder bei NBC reingesehen (O'Brien, oder wie der Knülch heißt) aber auch da war weit und breit nix von ihm zu sehen.
War er noch mal irgendwo? Hat jemand was mitbekommen?

Sheridan hat Digital Spy deshalb ein Interview gegeben.
Jim Sheridan ('Brothers')
Thursday, January 21 2010, 06:00 GMT
By Simon Reynolds, Movies Editor
Irish director Jim Sheridan has proven to be something of an Oscar magnet in the past. He pushed notorious method man Daniel Day-Lewis to his first Academy Award with My Left Foot and has even snagged six nominations for himself. His new film Brothers, a remake of 2004's Danish drama Brødre, might also feature at Hollywood's prestigious ceremony this year thanks to an intense, terrifying performance from Tobey Maguire. DS caught up with Sheridan to chat about Brothers, his tumultuous story of a war veteran returning from Afghanistan physically and emotionally decimated.
What was it about the original Danish film that sparked your desire to remake it?
"That scene in the middle where he killed the other guy was just a fundamental Sophie's Choice that made me think a lot. That gave me the room to think about doing it myself."
Were you keen to keep politics out of the movie and make this more about the human impact?
"You're wise to see that. That's exactly what we were doing. I wasn't comfortable with what I felt about the politics. It's like somebody said to me, 'You're making an anti-war movie?' I was like, 'Name me a movie that's a pro-war movie?' Maybe Sylvester Stallone? It's very easy to make an anti-war movie, it's more about the consequences of war and what it's going to cost to win the war, or that winning the war always comes with consequences. I was talking with [The Who's] Roger Daltrey and I asked him why he thought all old rockers were crazy and he said that they were the generation born during the war. They still felt the war but they couldn't do anything about it."
How did you create the terrain of Afghanistan in the film?
"I love Santa Fe, New Mexico. I love the landscape there and the painter Georgia O'Keeffe - that landscape attracted me and it's a beautiful place to be. Then I got some footage from Afghanistan and it was fairly easy to do because we could do everything within a 30 to 40 mile radius in New Mexico."
A lot of your films deal with family - do you think it's dramatically more compelling to make stories about family conflicts?
"Yes. I think what it is is I used to have a lodging house when I was growing up - we had lodgers - and I think it produces... the only other person I ever saw who had lodgers in movies and two houses was [Alfred] Hitchcock. He has that weird travelling thing. He's a completely different filmmaker - totally visual and a genius - but my parents having a lodging house made me live in the family world and the lodgers world at the same time. Both were thrown into relief and you could see both more clearly so I feel I'm always putting the family back together again."
How did you prepare Tobey Maguire for the demands of the role?
"We went to Camp Pendleton and a few army bases and we spoke to a few marines. Over Christmas he went on a diet and exercised every day. We had a two-week break and he lost 20lbs."
Do you think the physical transformation was necessary for the psychological one?
"I think so in this instance. You needed that moment when he looked gaunt and ravaged when he has the gun at the end. By the time we got there he was kind of crazy and he'd lost his fun but he was great to work with and I think he's great in the movie."
You've previously said that Jake Gyllenhaal drove you mad at points - did you find a way to cope with each other in the end?
"Yes, I think we both realised we'd always be fighting to be the centre of attention - two mammie's boys it's called on the set! But he's a sweetheart and after I'd got used to him I adored him. He's easy to work with."
Natalie Portman hasn't really played many mothers before - what made you choose her?
"The problem with Natalie is that she's so beautiful that people don't forgive her for her beauty in a way. They're like, 'Would you have a woman that beautiful with a marine?' I have to tell you when we went round the army bases there were knockout girls everywhere. It's just a preconception that middle-class people have about ordinary people, but there's a lot of beautiful girls. I think she acquitted herself really well - she's very good in the movie."

Mir hat Brothers verdammt gut gefallen - Jake ist meiner Meinung nach gut in seiner Rolle und es gibt eine Menge Schmachtmaterial.
Die Handlung an sich ist ... krass. Nichts für schwache Nerven, würde ich jetzt mal so sagen. Ich musste an vielen Stellen hart schlucken und Toby spielt unheimlich gut. Da bekam man regelrecht Angst
)
Schauspielerisch am Besten haben mir allerdings die Kinder gefallen. Ich war wirklich angetan von ihnen, wie sie das alles rübergebracht haben, durch welche schmerzvollen Erlebnisse sie gehen mussten.
Empfehlenswert! Wenn auch kein Jack Twist ... aber schlecht war Jake nicht
Kann man sich ansehen.

Da sind echt super Bilder bei, corny. Danke.
So gefällt Jake mir ausgesprochen gut, mit gepflegtem, kurzen!!!! Dreitagebart. Nicht so wie auf einigen "privat-trage-ich-gerne-mal-einen-Rübezahl-bart" Fotos.
