ShockYa and a few other journalists got the chance to sit down and speak with Rene Russo about what she did during her off-time from acting, working alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and finding that connection with her character Nina. So I didn’t really have Nina for a long time, and it wasn’t because I didn’t know a news anchor, it’s because I didn’t know who she was. Rene Russo: I didn’t hang out with Jake too much, and the reason I didn’t hang out with him is because honestly I’ve worked with a lot of actors… But the way he sort of slipped into this role and this dialog was amazing to watch, and he made it look easy.
