Honourable Woman Maggie Gyllenhaal talks Broadway and working with Jake

Phillip asked the A lister if she would work with brother Jake, who she acted with in Donnie Darko with, again.

She mused: "When you have an existing relationship that is an intense one - like a brother and sister or a husband and wife - because I've worked with him [husband Peter Sarsgaard] a lot too, that existing relationship has to go into the work.

"I would like to work with him some day, I don't think it is the time yet to be completely honest.

"My husband, on the other hand, is writing a part for me that he wants to direct.

"With Jake, it would be so intense - we'd have to be in the right hands with a director we could trust and a script that we could rely on. That is hard to find, you could look for that for a lifetime."

Maggie Gyllenhaal Is Trying to Keep Her Personal Politics Out of the Press

Maggie Gyllenhaal steps out looking so summer chic on Thursday (August 7) in New York City.

The 36-year-old actress recently said that she will not comment on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the press. Her new show The Honourable Woman centers around a woman working to promote the reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians

“What I’ve been doing is trying to read as much as I can and to think and feel each day what my position is,” Maggie told Time. “I’m not sure that I will continue to feel this way as this conflict continues, but at the moment I feel like the show I made, the piece of art I made, does articulate really beautifully so many things I feel about the conflict. And I’m trying to keep my personal politics out of the press. I do believe in the possibility of reconciliation.”

Director Naomi Foner Discusses Parenting Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal

ABC/Randy Holmes(NEW YORK) — When Naomi Foner first wrote the film Very Good Girls years ago, it was based on her own experiences as well as those of women close to her, including her daughter, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Now, she’s hoping it resonates with scores of other women — her two young granddaughters, Gyllenhaal’s daughters with actor Peter Sarsgaard, who also appears in the film.

“I do hope that my granddaughters will see it and understand it,” she told ABC News. “I had this fantasy that mothers and daughters would go see this movie together.”

Very Good Girls, a coming-of-age story starring Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning, explores the friendship between two adolescent girls who are lusting after the same young man, played by Olsen’s real-life fiancé, actor Boyd Holbrook. The person who helped clarify Holbrook’s character? Foner’s son, actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

“Jake was in the editing room frequently. He was the one who pointed out that Boyd’s character was like Clarence in It’s a Wonderful Life, who comes in and tells them something they need to know,” she said. “He gave me some great advice during the making of this.”

Collaborating with her children made the experience of film-making even richer. Foner, who is hoping to make her next film about “women of my own age,” said one of her greatest joys is the close relationship she shares with her kids.

“I can’t say that there’s anything that gives me more pleasure than to get to the point where my children are my friends. I adore my kids. They are spectacular,” she said. “Nothing is more important than family.”
