Jake turns 24 today! If you’re on Twitter, be sure to leave him a birthday message! Alternatively, if you don’t have Twitter, why not leave a message here? (obviously, you can still leave a message here even if you have tweeeted him). We’ll tweet him the link later!

It seems definite that Jake will be in The Host. Several sites suggest that Jake has closed the deal. Max Irons (who you may know from Red Riding Hood) will be playing the other lead role of Jared Howe. (We’re trying to get confirmation from Jake directly.)

How do you feel about this? Have you read The Host?

Jake is reportedly a front-runner for one of two male lead roles, Ian, in the movie adaptation of The Host, written by Stephenie Meyer who is best known for writing the Twilight series. (Fun fact: Jake also auditioned for the role of Edward.) Saoirse Ronan, who Jake worked with in The Lovely Bones, has already been cast as the female lead, Melanie Snyder. The movie will be directed by Andrew Niccol, who also wrote the script and most recently directed In Time, starring Justin Timberlake. Actors up for the other male lead role are, depending on how the casting goes, Max Irons, Kit Harington and Liam Hemsworth. Niccol wants to start shooting the movie as early as February, with a tentative release date set for 29 March 2013.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but I have great news for you! We have found someone to pass the torch onto. Our new admin, Sprite, has committed herself to keeping you updated on Jake’s career, alongside me. Becca has decided to step down permanently.

I would just like to stay:
Sprite, welcome to the site, I look forward to working with you!
Becca, thank you for your hard work. This site would not have existed without you!
To everyone else, I hope you’ll continue to check the site for info on Jake!

Hi all,

As you may have noticed, we haven’t been terribly active in trying to keep you updated on what Jake’s doing (although news is slim to begin with), but because of that and because we both have other things going on, Becca and I have decided it’s time for us to step down. We don’t want to actually shut down the site because that would be a shame, so we’re looking for someone to take over. If you’re interested, please e-mail us at jakeabelonline@hotmail.com for more information regarding how much it costs to run a site, how the site works, etc. It’d be great if you have some experience running a fansite but not necessary (let us know if you do and which site). Becca and I had no clue what we were getting ourselves into either and we can help you if you have any questions in the beginning.

Becca and Kelly

Jake is apparently going to be in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy:

Oh, and remember, The Inside Experience is available in full on their official website. Jake plays Kirk Francis, the (ex-)boyfriend of the abducted girl. HERE .

We have five new pictures from a photoshoot Jake did with photographer Anthony Goldman in the beginning of July! Thanks to imgonnabebanshee and Jazz !

We’ve also put up the Facebook profile pic that Jake’s character Kirk Francis had up for The Inside Experience. Remember, the full movie will be available on the site soon. Hopefully, we’ll have some screencaps for you then!

Jake plays a part in Episode 5: Day 9. For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with The Inside Experience, Jake plays Kirk Francis, Christina’s ex. He’s mentioned in episode 1 and episode 3, where he was said to be MIA and was under suspicion.
