Honeymoon With Hairy

Things have been relatively quiet on the Jake Gyllenhaal front since his overpriced run on Broadway with Denzel Washington ended (who me bitter), save lots and lots of relatively boring pap-snaps on him on the Rhode Island set of M. Night Shyamalan's next movie. But today -- hark, a new project! He's going to star opposite Kevin Costner in the new movie from directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, aka the dudes behind Crazy Stupid Love and the surprisingly wonderful I Love You, Phillip Morris. It's called Honeymoon With Harry and apparently this script has been bouncing around Hollywood for two decades trying to get made -- it's about a a man whose fiancee dies right before their wedding, so he decides to go on their honeymoon... with her father.

It's also weirdly close to the plot of Moonlight Mile, Jake's 2002 movie with Dustin Hoffmann and Susan Sarandon that gifted us with a set of pictures like this:

Lots of talented people circling this, so I guess they all say / see something in it! Meanwhile, me being a very serious person who also feels all of his feelings, all I can picture is this:
