Jake and Jessica Are Preparing to Get Nailed

PopSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:04:00 -0700

We wouldn't have pegged Jake Gyllenhaal as a personal umbrella holder kind of guy, but there it was yesterday on the set of Nailed in Columbia, SC. It's a little silly, but his hands are full and he does have that injury that has had him using crutches recently. Joining Jake on set was his co-star Jessica Biel, looking so much better with darker hair, who kept busy playing with her dog Tina in-between takes. The plot of this movie sounds bizarre, but hopefully these two will make it worth seeing.

Lots more of Jake and Jess so

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel Get Nailed... By Al Gore's Daughter

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:28:13 -0800

The title of this post is scandalous and strange, but so is this film news. Al Gore's daughter Kristin Gore is co-writing a screenplay titled Nailed (not based on either of her novels Sammy's Hill or Sammy's House). Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel are attached to star together in the movie.

Here's the plot: "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."

I'm picturing something along the lines of Secretary, sort of dark and bizarre and sexual, but Jessica Biel is no Maggie Gyllenhaal. I'm curious to find out how Kristin Gore's foray into screenwriting goes. What do you think of this movie news?
