Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have teamed up again, this time for a very different movie. Now all I can say (because I’m slightly speechless after watching the video) is HOTNESS!!

Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won’t let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie’s evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. Based on Jamie Reidy’s memoir “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman.”

Shia LaBeouf and Chris Pine are “rumored choices” for the lead role in John Hillcoat’s Triple Nine — it looks like LaBeouf and Pine are likewise among a group of young actors in contention for a starring role in Safe House opposite Denzel Washington.  Here’s the full list:

  • Ryan Reynolds
  • Tom Hardy
  • Zac Efron
  • James McAvoy
  • Sam Worthington
  • Shia LaBeouf
  • Taylor Kitsch
  • Garrett Hedlund
  • Channing Tatum
  • Jake Gyllenhaal
  • Chris Pine
  • Chris Hemsworth

Hit the jump for more details on the project, including the nature of the role the victor will play.

The lengthy list is culled from reports by Deadline and Heat Vision; the latter indicates that Reynolds is “emerging as the frontrunner.”  Washington finalized his deal weeks ago, and Universal is expected to extend an offer to one of the above shortly.

The thriller was scripted by David Guggenheim, with Swedish director Daniel Espinosa (Snabba Cash) making his English-language debut.  The plot revolves around “the only surviving agent of an attack on a CIA safe house as he tries to get a lethal prisoner to a second safe house before being taken out by violent forces that want them both dead.”  Washington will play the prisoner, while the chosen will play the CIA agent.

A small but cute update. I’ve added captures of Jake Gyllenhaal in Homegrown where he’s only in for very short scene, but it’s still him. Anyway check them out in the gallery.

Life is good for Jack, Carter and Harlan, three inept ne’r-do-wells who help run master dope-grower Malcoms flourishing marijuana plantation somewhere in northern California. But then Malcom is suddenly bumped off by a mysterious assailant, after a moment of panic, the naive trio decide to take over the business themselves. However, their lazy days on the dope farm have ill prepared them for the high-stakes game of finding buyers for millions of dollars of contraband. As they plunge into a shadowy new world of duplicity, double-dealing and danger, they soon find that they have gotten in way, way over their heads. But driven on by increasing greed and paranoia, it’s too late to back out.

Screen captures of Jake Gyllenhaal in Lovely & Amazing has been added to the gallery.

The Marks family is a tightly-knit quartet of women. Jane is the affluent matriarch whose 3 daughters seem to have nothing in common except for a peculiar sort of idealism. Setting the tone of vanity and insecurity, Jane is undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter her figure, but serious complications put her health in real danger. Former homecoming queen Michelle, the eldest daughter, has one daughter of her own and an alienated, unsupportive husband. Elizabeth, the middle sister, has an acting career that is beginning to take off, but is timid and insecure, and habitually relieves her trepidation by taking in stray dogs. Only the youngest sister, Annie, an adopted African American 8-year-old, stands a chance of avoiding the family legacy of anxious self-absorption. If only her intelligence and curiosity will see her through what promises to be a confusing adolescence. Each of the women seeks redemption in her own haphazard way.

Aug 06, 2010 Filed Under: Love and Other Drugs,News & Headlines Comments (0)

About five months ago I ran a positive research-screening review (based on a talk with a guy I know and trust) of Ed Zwick‘s Love and Other Drugs (20th Century Fox, 11.24). Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Big Pharma, Viagra, early-stage Parkinson’s. On 7.28 another good review popped up, based on a recent Kansas City showing. I don’t know the author but he calls himself Shep and has a reasonably well-written blog called “What Is Wrong With The World Today?”

“Chick flick and romantic comedy. These are words that will make almost any man cringe when uttered by his girlfriend. I know I do. When my girlfriend mentioned an invite for an advance screening of a new romantic comedy I almost told her to take a friend. I’m glad I didn’t.

Love and Other Drugs is by far the best romantic comedy I’ve seen,” he explains. “It’s smart, sexy, raunchy and hilarious. The chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Hathaway works very well, and their relationship is very believable. Josh Gad’s character adds the raunchy Hangover-style guy comedy needed to keep the male half of a couple interested.

“Director-cowriter Ed Zwick’s interpretation of Jamie Reidy’s novel Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman translates extremely well to the big screen and made me want to read the book. (The screenplay is by Zwick, Marshall Herzkovitz and Charles Randolph.) I know — the movie is never as good.

“But overall the film works, the cast (including costars Oliver Platt and Hank Azaria) has been perfectly picked, and I would totally recommend it.

“Hopefully Love and Other Drugs will do well at the box-office and cause a trend toward romcoms that work for both members of the sexes. I’m giving it four and a half stars.”
