Jake Gyllenhaal Had Steak Eating Contests with House of the Dragon Director

Presumed Innocent executive producer/director Greg Yaitanes was a total Jake Gyllenhaal fanboy when he met the actor prior to working with the actor on the hit series. I usually just want to get [the fanboy thing] out of the way, Yaitanes told MovieWeb in a recent interview. Working with Tim Robbins [in Castle Rock], I had to geek out about Shawshank Redemption. But I go to films because Jake's in them. I'll go see Prisoners because he's in it. I'll go see Enemy because he's in it. It attracts me his work and his way of working, which is incredibly natural. There's such an ease that he has in front of the camera that has taken 30 years to craft, and it's beautiful to watch.
