‘Nailed’ Getting A UK Release Under Title ‘Politics of Love’
We’ve been covering the tale of David O. Russell’s aborted “Nailed” for years, but the film is one that doesn’t seem to know when to say die. To make a long story short, Russell’s comedy — starring Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal, Catherine Keener, Tracy Morgan and James Marsden — follows an uninsured waitress (Biel) who accidentally gets shot in the head with a nail. She goes to Washington on a crusade to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured, but gets taken advantage of by a slimy congressman (Gyllenhaal). A great premise for sure, however a string of financial bungling plagued the movie throughout production, and filming eventually halted entirely before the crucial injury sequence could be reshot. The movie changed hands, Russell walked away from it, but Voltage Pictures seems to have figured out a way to get it out there, and “Nailed” is headed for a UK release.
Gyllenhaal & Fuqua Team for ‘The Man Who Made It Snow’
Jake Gyllenhaal, coming off his acclaimed performance in Nightcrawler, is teaming up with The Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua for The Man Who Made It Snow, a 1980s crime movie that IM Global is launching at AFM.
Gyllenhaal will star as the man in the title, Max Mermelstein, purported to be the only American who was in the inner circle of the Colombian cartels in the go-go 1980s.
Snow is a biopic of the man and is based on his autobiography. Brent Tabor wrote the script.
Gyllenhaal will produce with Fuqua, Tabor and IM Global’s Matt Jackson.
