Hunky Jake Gyllenhaal treading water and escaping CGI wolves? I'm there! The actor told us that he wished every day was tomorrow while filming the long, very wet and cold destruction scenes in the environmental disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow.

Here's the scoop. Dr. Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is a paleo-climatologist who has been studying ancient weather patterns. He's got a theory about global warming that, in typical disaster movie storytelling, almost nobody believes. His work has led him to neglect his family, son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Dr. wife Lucy (Sela Ward). When Jake and the object of his lustful gazes Laura (Emmy Rossum) go to New York to compete in a scholastic decathlon, all environmental hell breaks loose.

Hail the size of really big baseballs falls in Tokyo, tornadoes semi-destroy L.A., the water temps change, oceans rise and New York is flooded then frozen over. Jake, Laura and pals hold up in the big library and start burning books to stay warm. Hoping to redeem himself for ignoring his son for so long, Jack straps on snowshoes and starts walking to New York to.. uh, not sure what.. die with his kid? Meanwhile, hoards of frightened, frostbitten Americans try to cross into Mexico in a wild reversal of the border crossing immigrant problem. Finally, Mankind does survive the new ice age.
