tMF favorite Jake Gyllenhaal is simply amazing! I'm sure many of his fans and regular moviegoers are looking forward to his next movie, Brothers, where he will go head to head with Tobey Maguire in the acting department. It's actually a double treat- Natalie Portman plays Tobey's wife and Jake, playing the brother might eventually get Portman in the end.
Anyway, here's another in production movie for Jake. This time he'll be acting together with Jessica Biel, who was simply fabulous in the Edward Nortor flick, The Illusionist. More from The State - South Carolina [ by Noelle Phillips ]
State House, incentives draw movie starring Gyllenhaal, Biel; ‘Nailed’ to start shooting in April
Producers wanted to film the upcoming Jake Gyllenhaal political satire, “Nailed,” at a site that looks like the nation’s Capitol.
The S.C. State House earned the part.
“Our State House was designed by an architect who designed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.,” S.C. Film Commission head Jeff Monks said Monday. The movie’s producers also were attracted to the state’s film financial incentives package and weather, said Andy Keeter, a production executive at Capitol Films, the financier of “Nailed.”
“Nailed,” which also stars Jessica Biel, should begin filming in mid-April in Columbia and Lexington, Keeter said. Besides shooting scenes around the State House, the directors want to film in a bar, a diner and a house belonging to Biel’s character.
In “Nailed,” Biel plays an uninsured, small-town receptionist who becomes sex-crazed after a maintenance worker shoots a nail into her head accidentally, according to published reports. She goes to Washington to fight for the rights of “bizarrely injured” people where she meets an immoral congressman, played by Gyllenhaal, who takes advantage of her sex drive.
The movie was co-written by Kristin Gore, the former vice president’s daughter, and the film’s director David O. Russell. Russell wrote and directed “Three Kings,” staring George Clooney. Gore was a writer on the TV series “Futurama.”
Gyllenhaal received an Oscar nomination in 2005 for his role in “Brokeback Mountain.” Biel starred in the TV show “7th Heaven.”
Persistent Films, one of the movie’s producers, is familiar with the state after filming “Walker Payne” in 2005 in York County. Monks said his office tried to entice filmmakers back.
