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.
