Jake Gyllenhaal will star as a very attractive Leonard Bernstein
As the Forward’s Talya Zax noted, this year marks Leonard Bernstein’s “centenary.” What better way to celebrate him than with a biographical film, starring everyone’s “Serious Jewish Actor crush” Jake Gyllenhaal? Zax wrote, citing a Deadline report, that “Gyllenhaal will produce and star in ‘The American,’ which will begin filming this coming fall from a screenplay by Michael Mitnick, adapted from Humphrey Burton’s biography ‘Leonard Bernstein.’”
