Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel are attached to star in the risque political satire Nailed, says The Hollywood Reporter. David O. Russell (Three Kings) is attached to direct and co-write the screenplay with Al Gore's daughter, Kristin Gore.

Biel would play Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges.

The uninsured Joyce goes on a crusade to Washington to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured. She meets an immoral congressman (Gyllenhaal) who takes advantage of her sex drive and capitalizes on her crusade as Joyce heads into her own career in politics.

Red Wagon Entertainment (Jarhead) and Persistent Entertainment (Southland Tales) are slated to produce the project. Preproduction is set to begin in two weeks, aiming for a January start date for principal photography.

Good to see both young actors taking these types of roles. Sounds fun as well.

Lordy, lordy. Will we actually finally get to see Biel as a nympho? Praise his name.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Kristin Gore was a writer on Futurama, so some laughs are guaranteed.

Thank you God for you work wonders like no other. Biel and sexual urges is all I need to hear to see this.

I'm more interested in seeing Jake play what sounds like a pimp type of character, cause he's always shy...could be awesome.

If they changed the title of the movie to the title of this thread, they'd sell more tickets.

James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan 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.

The Hollywood Reporter says Marsden will play small-town the boyfriend of Biel's character Alice, a naive waitress who gets a nail shot into her head, causing erratic and outrageous behavior. 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.

Keener will play a self-serving Congresswoman. The filmmakers are finalizing details on Morgan's character, who will likely be an injured compatriot of Alice's who has given up on love.

Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher will produce for their Red Wagon Entertainment. Matthew Rhodes and Judd Payne of Persistent Entertainment and Kia Jam of Capitol Films will also produce.

The film is now in preproduction in South Carolina, with principal photography set to begin April 14.

From the cast to the plot, this movie sounds so random. I really don't know what to think of it yet.

James Caan has reportedly already walked off set, "citing differences with director David O. Russell." I don't know how reliable this news source is though. I can't even find confirmation of Caan being in the movie.

Story sounds like the premise for a porno.

With David O'Russell's history, its not really surprising. Sorry he didn't pull a Sonny Corleone on him
