Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel are getting set to star in David O. Russell's political satire Nailed, about crazy special interest groups and the politicians who exploit them. Russell is co-writing the screenplay with Kristin Gore, daughter of former vice president Al Gore, Hollywood Reporter tells us.
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.
