Some new casting information on Jake Gyllenhaal's new movie, Nailed. According to the Hollywood Reporter:
James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan are close to getting "Nailed." The trio are in final negotiations to star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel in David O. Russell's romantic comedy "Nailed," written by Russell and Kristen Gore. More details
here.
Let's hope Nailed is another Lovely and Amazing collaboration.
I'm not so sure I like this new description of Jake's character:
She heads to Washington to fight for better health care and ends up falling for a clueless new congressman (Gyllenhaal) who must summon the political courage to save her.I like "immoral" more than "clueless." I was hoping Jake's character would be a smooth operator:
Another interesting tidbit on Nailed:
Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher will produce for their Red Wagon Entertainment banner. Wick and Fisher produced Jarhead:
Jake also presented the producing pair with the David O. Selznick Award at last year's Producers Guild Awards:
Jake sure does like to laugh with the Fishwicks!
Let's do a little six degrees of separation. Lucy Fisher knew Jake when he was just a kid:
Grown-up Jake made Jarhead with Fisher and her husband:
Hollywood Jake presents Fisher/Wick with a PGA Award:
Also receiving an award that night was Ron Meyer:
Ron Meyer is the father-in-law of Tobey Maguire:
And finally, though that photo is proof they do not look anything alike, Jake and Tobey will appear as brothers in Brothers, due out in December.
I'm hoping that by the time I wake up, this post will have been rendered superfluous by a bunch of Easter/birthday weekend shots of Jake and Reese, Jake and the Easter Bunny, Jake and the piglets or Just Jake.
Here are a couple of interesting Jarhead links. The first covers the
making of the movie. The second is an
interview with Tony Swofford, who talks a bit about Jake's getting the role. I love Jarhead, and I hope Nailed is as good an experience for Jake. With better box office results :)
