I haven't heard anything about David O. Russell's movie Nailed, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, in ages upon ages. The shoot got shut down over and over and over again because of money issues, and the last thing we'd heard it was sitting unfinished eating wet cigarette butts in the corner. Woe is they! Woe is us all. But in an interview with Jake at AICN this morning about Prince of Persia and Source Code (the sci-fi flick he's currently shooting in Montreal with Duncan Jones), he gives us this nugget:
"... right after BROTHERS I did this movie with David O. Russell which has yet to come out, but that’s its own beast. David is incredible, but it was like BROTHERS, NAILED or THE NAIL I think we are calling it now, and then it was PRINCE OF PERSIA..."
So yeah, not much, but the fact that he speaks of the film as a thing that can have a name and actually be renamed, well that's gotta mean something, doesn't it? Urgh I want this fucking movie! I ain't never gonna get it neither. Sigh.

Vogue talked to Jessica Biel about this movie when they had her on the cover a few months ago. Apparently money ran out and there are key scenes still to be shot (like the initial accident with the nail), so things are looking grim.
david o'is now on his second movie since the whole nailed thing went down - i've heard it's completely finished from some execs and then heard that it's completely dead from the same people two days later. i don't think anyone really knows what the deal is, which stinks because it was a REALLY slick script - like if the best parts of I heart Huckabees got in a car accident with a stupid romantic comedy...but in a good way.
