An abandoned David O. Russell movie is getting a UK release
As reported by Screen Daily, an unreleased David O. Russell film called Nailed has been picked up by UK distributor Arrow Films for distribution in the UK. Russell last touched it in 2008, but producer Kia Jam has since finished editing the film—which has now been renamed Politics Of Love. As noted by Indiewire’s The Playlist, the film has a pretty respectable cast and interesting premise for a movie that’s been sitting on a shelf for years. It stars Jessica Biel as a woman who gets shot in the head with a nail, so she goes to Washington D.C. to “fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured.” There, she meets “a slimy congressman” played by Jake Gyllenhaal. Catherine Keener, Tracy Morgan, and James Marsden also show up in some capacity.
