David O. Russell NAILS Catherine Keener, James Marsden and Tracy Morgan! The man has stamina!

Published at:  Mar 24, 2008 2:34:16 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. David O. Russell's next picture will be called NAILED, a romantic comedy already starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel. Russell co-wrote with Kristin Gore.

Marsden plays boyfriend to Biel's character, a waitress who gets a nail shot into her head causing erratic behavior. Biel decides to take up a fight for health care and travels to Washington to push for change. While there, she falls for Gyllenhaal's character, a spineless Congressman.

Catherine Keener plays a selfish Congresswoman and Tracy Morgan is looking to play an injured compatriot to Biel's character.

I wonder which one of these guys will punch out Russell or if we'll get another awesome set of leaked set arguments. All kidding aside, sounds like a fun movie to me. What about you?

    Jessica Biel?? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    by industrykiller!

    well god fucking dammit. I will never be able to completely invest in this with her starring. I don't even know if I'll see it in theaters and after Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees I would pretty much watch the guys movies if he remade Waterworld shot for shot. Jessica Biel is about as unconvincing as it gets. One of the shining examples of fame eating itself (along with Jessica Alba) and the utter stupidity of the Maxim magazine movie going crowd. Seriously how are you entirely mediocre in film after film after film and still get a shot at roles like these?? Shouldn't you have to be good in at least one project? Fuck!

    A crusade to Washington

    by snappy

    To help all those poor victims of freak nail-in-the-head accidents. Is Leslie Nielsen going to be the person with the nail gun? Some ideas are thin - this is one-dimensional (like Biel's acting)

    Sounds like unfunny crap...

    by tourist

    ...But Huckabees sounded retarded at first too, and it turned out great, so I'll still be excited to see it.

    If Biel doesn't get naked...

    by tophat

    ...then Russell and her are the spineless ones. Come on Jessica, you know the only reason why we'll see this is in hopes of seeing your naked ass having filthy explicit fake sex. And Russell, if you're such an "auteur" than you best not let Biel get away with doing her sex scenes with her bra on! And no behind the back shots, either. Don't pussy-out Russell!!

    Yes. I confuse them too somehow, why I don't know. There's a support group now apparently.

    by saluki

    yeuxdesoir hit the nail on the head (ha!), Marsden is always the second fiddle. This is, what, the FIFTH movie where the lead actress dumps his ass for a more vapid leading man?

    "why don't you fuck your movie.."

    by they call it the dip

    "...because that's what you're doing." I guess that whole spat never hurt his credibility. i'm always pumped for a new russell film and this sounds like it fits the david o. russell checklist: 1. socially conscious to a potentially annoying extent 2. weird, intentionally unrealistic situations 3. fucking balls-to-the-wall high profile cast. i'm in. it has to have richard jenkins - he's in almost every russell picture and in everybody else's movies he's always playing politicians, because other directors have no idea what a comic genius he is.

    Interesting bit about Clooney

    by bass ackwards

    Though him and Russell got in that big spat, in a recent interview Clooney named Three Kings as one of his films that he really likes and thinks will continue to hold up over the years (along with Out of Sight and O Brother).

    Hope it's better than O. Russell's last film.

    I found I HEART HUCKABEES to be an agonizing effort to sit through, worse than boring.

    In this absolutely hilarious local morning tv show clip, Morgan begins claiming he's a vietnam veteran. Watch.

    I Heart Huckabees was unwatchable.

    by bigtuna

    What a horrible, horrible film that was. Perhaps the most unwatchable nonsense ever.

    all kidding aside

    by spanksteroflove

    all kidding aside, David O Russell is a dick. Tracey Morgan, please punch DOR in the mouth if he calls Catherine Keener a bitch. And if he calls Jessica Biel a bitch? Then you can punch Donnie Darko in the mouth.

    reminds me of....

    by drbrianoblivion

    a story that we read about back in a high school psychology class where some railway worker took a spike to the head. It hit him in the lobe of the brain that controls personality and turned him into the exact opposite of how he normally was. You would think that would give you a lot of possibilities for a movie.

    Three Kings really wasn't that good.

    by knuckleduster

    I never understood all the awe this movie received. I mean, it's a fun little movie, but a bit gimmicky for my taste. And when it grew a social conscience towards the end, I couldn't help but groan and imagine a world where I'm allowed to toss faeces at the screen.

    When did Marsden become Bill Pullman?

    by drath

    Can't the guy ever get the lead girl? In a movie anyone cares about? Ever? Losing to Ryan Gosling was particularly painful, although that girl went senile so maybe he dodged a bullet that time. Vaporized Cyclops is still the biggest fuck up in Marvel Movies history (a mighty list that includes Fantastic Four's crappy Dr. Doom/Trump, Elektra, everything in the Blade series after Deacon Frost died and including his sunscreen scene, 80% of Ang Lee's Hulk, and the death of Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3--though that is a close second).

    Marsden is Incomprehensible

    by tallsy

    I mean, really? Really? After Superman Returns, Hairspray, Enchanted, and (especially) 27 Dresses, Hollywood STILL isn't convinced he shouldn't be the one ending up with the girl at the end. That's more sure sign the Hollywood is profoundly idiotic, than crap like 10,000 B.C. or Step Up 2. Also, who the hell is James Marsden's agent - Isaih Thomas?

    Tracy's bit about having sex with Sigourney Weaver was hilarious. He's great on Stern!
