Via Cinematical:"Farragut North... is set to open on Broadway early next year with Jake Gyllenhaal starring and Mike Nichols directing, and I figured that eventually there'd be a movie in the works, possibly with that prestigious duo re-teamed for the big screen version. But no, it seems Gyllenhaal and Nichols just aren't good enough for Warner Bros., who owns the film rights. Instead they've cast some guy named Leonardo DiCaprio for the lead and are hoping to sign on some old television has-been named George Clooney to direct."
Well they're jumping the gun on FN opening on Broadway next year, as that hasn't officially been announced yet (has it?), but I do wonder what effect the film going to DiCaprio and Clooney will have, if any, on the play really happening. I too figured Jake would do the stage version and in a couple of years we'd see him starring in the film, not realizing WB already had their mitts on the property. Will Jake still take the stage now just for the stage's sake? Stay tuned! And say that last sentence ten times fast!
