When you get that far, there’s a real legitimacy to you potentially getting something.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jake Gyllenhaal recently opened up on “The Howard Stern Show” about what it was like losing two major roles during the final rounds of casting: Batman in Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman Begins” and Christian in Baz Luhrmann’s “Moulin Rouge!” On the latter film, the audition process came down to Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger and Ewan McGregor.

Jake Gyllenhaal recently reflected on two big roles that got away.
the setting of “Road House” from Missouri to the Florida Keys should go down as one of the best decisions made by a movie remake ever.The scenery is tropical, the personalities are oversize and the area inspired a song that goes, “Wasted away again.”Plus, as any skimmer of crime headlines knows, macho bar brawls are not uncommon in the boisterous Sunshine State. Really, this action-packed update of the truly ridiculous 1989 film that starred Patrick Swayze as the world’s best bouncer could almost be a documentary.
It’s hard to think of many other shows that have inspired the same level of dedicated fandom as Supernatural.
About a rough-and-tumble bar cooler with a heart of gold hired to clean up the baddest honkytonk in a small Missouri town, 1989’s “Road House” with Patrick Swayze wasn’t exactly high art, nor did it have the most sophisticated story. Still, it did the trick in the 1980s, when punch-‘em-up fisticuffs were enough as a harmless B-movie diversion (to remember fondly, not actually rewatch and enjoy, though).
Jake Gyllenhaal has revealed that he would love to play Batman if he were given the opportunity.As James Gunn‘s DC Universe begins to shape up, more roles in the superhero world are being cast, including Superman, Supergirl and Lex Luthor. However, one hero that has yet to be cast is Batman/Bruce Wayne.A perennial contender to play Batman whenever the role opens up, Jake Gyllenhaal was recently asked about potentially starring in Gunn’s DC Universe as the Caped Crusader.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jake Gyllenhaal was a serious contender to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, and it appear losing the role to Christian Bale has never impacted Gyllenhaal’s desire to play the Caped Crusader on the big screen.
