Actor Jake Gyllenhaal says he respects his "Life" co-star Ryan Reynolds not only as an artiste, but also as a human being.
"You know I just have a profound respect for him (Reynolds) and everything that he has done in his life and in his career. I think he is a true artiste and an unconventional one," Gyllenhaal said in a statement.
The actor added: "He's on a stage that's very big, a lot of people play on it in a very conventional way, and he has defied convention and I respect him as an artiste but also as a human being."
Gyllenhaal went on to say that Reynolds is "one of the best hearts of anyone I have ever met and we had a wonderful time".
"He's hilarious, so sharp and so funny. People talk about their love for making movies with certain people and who they want to make movies with and I really hope that this is just one of many more that we will be able to make together because I love working with him," he added.
"Life" is a thriller set in space and most of the action takes place on the International Space Station (ISS) where a six-man crew - all drawn from different nations - are tasked with examining a single cell life form that has been discovered on Mars and brought back to the ISS by an unmanned space craft.
The life form (organism) threatens the very existence of the crew who have no place to run, there by putting even life on earth in danger. The Sony Pictures Entertainment India's "Life" releases in India on March 24.
