Jake Gyllenhaal is celebrating the aunts and uncles of the world.

On Thursday, Feiwel and Friends and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group announced that it will publish Gyllenhaal’s picture book The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles on Sept. 5, 2023.

The children’s book, which the 41-year-old Ambulance star cowrote with his longtime writing partner and friend Greta Caruso, follows 10-year-old Leo, his Uncle Mo and “a secret society determined to make their relationship bloom,” a release about the upcoming book reads.

The book will also feature illustrations from Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Dan Santat.

The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles is “a madcap, magical adventure into the heart of what it means to have an aunt or uncle—how we learn to keep each other close and how we find love in the simplest things,”.

Jake Gyllenhaal is officially set to star in “Road House,” a reimagined take on the classic movie starring Patrick Swayze, for Amazon’s Prime Video.

Doug Liman will direct the new movie, from a script written by Anthony Bagarozzi & Charles Mondry. After producing the original film for MGM in 1989, Joel Silver is back on board to produce the reimagining for his company Silver Pictures.

Reports that Gyllenhaal and Liman were circling the project broke in November 2021. Prime Video officially announced the production’s impending start on Tuesday.

“’Road House’ is a homerun for us. Not only is it a nod to fans of the original, but it is also a big, fun, broad audience movie,” stated Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Joel, Doug, and this great cast led by Jake Gyllenhaal, and for them to come together to reimagine the classic MGM film as an action-packed adventure for our global audience.”
