Marsden and Keener hammer out "Nailed" roles
Monday March 24 1:31 AM ET

James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan are close to getting "Nailed."

The trio are in final negotiations to star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel in David O. Russell's romantic comedy "Nailed."

Marsden ("Enchanted") will play the small-town boyfriend of Biel's character Alice, a naive waitress who gets a nail shot into her head, causing erratic and outrageous behavior. She heads to Washington to fight for better health care and ends up falling for a clueless new congressman (Gyllenhaal) who must summon the political courage to save her.

Keener ("Into the Wild") will play a self-serving congresswoman. The filmmakers are finalizing details on the character for Morgan, one of the stars of NBC's "30 Rock."

Russell wrote the script with Kristen Gore, a daughter of Al Gore. Principal photography is set to begin April 14.
