Jake GyllenhaalHollywood's cutest couple are in no hurry to get back after their breakup.

But Jake Gyllenhaal is not too worried about Spider-Man lead Kirsten Dunst right now.

Donnie Darko, the 2001 film starring Gyllenhaal, is now enjoying a re-release in theatres in North America.

Writer-director Richard Kelly's independent movie starring Gyllenhaal as a disturbed teenager was a cult hit on the DVD circuit.

The director's cut, released recently in theaters, features new visual effects and music.

Jake, who starred in The Day After Tomorrow, told People magazine: 'Something about this movie (Donnie Darko) was always very close to me. I always felt like it would find itself. I was surprised when it didn't at first, because I really feel that it speaks to and has spoken to a lot of people and it's come back in the right way. I feel like my instincts are always right, whether they're immediately rewarded, or whether down the line they are, they always seem to be right somewhere, so it's just proof.'

Gyllenhaal will soon be seen in Proof, with recent mom Gwyneth Paltrow.

He is currently shooting Brokeback Mountain with Heath Ledger, whom you saw in Shekhar Kapur's Four Feathers.
