Going Mars, Too

Well now this!

Jake Gyllenhaal is going to co-star in Life with Ryan Reynolds.

The Gyllen-yum will – oh, stop. I can’t do it. I mean, it’s gonna be Jakey-bear and R2.

Let’s all take a moment to sit with that.

Alright. I am back.

A thriller set on Mars, the Daniel Espinosa-directed project will follow a group of intergalactic space researchers (Rebecca Ferguson is also on board, btw) who find life on the planet that most recently hosted Matt Damon.

Perhaps, Gyllenhaal’s hoping some of Reynolds’ blockbuster Deadpool sheen will rub off on him?

Ahem. I...could make a real dirt joke right about now.
