Scott And Jolie Wear Gucci

Yet Another Ridley Scott Project episode 427 unearths a movie that's been buried for a while.We first heard about Scott's attachment to a biopic of the Borgia-like Gucci fashion dynasty way back in 2006, before Scott finished American Gangster, when its home was Paramount and the script was by World Trade Centre's Andrea Berloff. A year or so later it was being rewritten by The Interpreter's Charles Randolph.Since then, nada. But now, suddenly, the project is a priority at Fox, who are shopping around for a third writer, and want to get underway in early 2010. Scott is still attached (which would make this his immediate next film after Robin Hood, before Alien 5, Red Riding, Monopoly or whatever) and it seems likely that Angelina Jolie, in her second big film next year alongside The Tourist (not to mention the planned Scarpetta film, based on Patricia Cornwell's novels), will sign on to play Patrizia Reggiano.

Tom Cruise's 'Wichita' Turns to 'Knight & Day'

Tom Cruise has been in Boston (what, haven't you read the reports of Suri sightings in Beantown?) filming what was previously known as Witchita, a new film from Fox co-starring Cameron Diaz that is billed as a spy comedy romance thriller. Well, the film that has been blowing sh*t up in Massachusetts has the new title Knight & Day, as well as an impressive roster of new cast members.
In addition to Cruise, Diaz, Paul Dano, Maggie Grace, and Marc Blucas, Knight & Day has added Oscar nom Viola Davis, thespian Peter Sarsgaard, and sexpot Olivier Martinez to the cast.
As Jen Yamato pointed out, this sounds like it could be successfully aimed at the female audience, but can audiences accept the idea of Tom Cruise as a Clooney-type dreamboat? Can he still be funny? (Funny on purpose -- not funny like in Valkyrie.) Will female audiences be turned off by Diaz?

At the beginning of every month, Ioncinema.com's "Tracking Shot" features six projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel, are worth signaling out. This September is when Blacklist's 2008 top title goes into production - Jodie Foster helms The Beaver for Summit. Scribe Rowan Joffe begins his career as a director with Brighton Rock, - Joffe penned Pawel Pawlikowski's Last Resort. Not much news has been made since a Cannes announcement for Andrew Niccol's 4th film. We'll keep tabs on whether filming for The Cross does take place down under. The very rich Todd Phillips already has a due date of November for Due Date. Edward Zwick finally gets into the saddle for Love and Other Drugs, and we are still awaiting more news on Tommy Lee Jones, who should begin filming The Sunset Limited this month.

It's a druggy, Jakey morning. We brought you Prince of Persia and Mr. Nice, and now we bring you Love and Other Drugs, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, and directed by Ed Zwick.Rather different drugs than Mr. Marks' though, since this is an adaptation (by The Interpreter's Charles Randolph) of Jamie Reidy's light-hearted 2005 tell-all Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman. The book is about Reidy's experiences as a rep for the giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, and his expertise at achieving great personal results for as little effort as humanly possible. His realisation that judging each situation on a personal level worked better than sticking to a corporate shpiel got him fired from Pfizer, and the publication of his book got him fired from his next job as a rep trainer at another company.Presumably the names will be changed to protect the guilty,

Javier Bardem has quite a slate of films ahead of him. He is set to star as the villain in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street 2 (yes, that is actually happening) alongside Shia Labeouf and Michael Douglas. And in a crazy twist, Bardem will be playing the principle villain in the sequel, not Douglas’ Gekko (but I’m sure he will be at least a little villainous). The Oscar winner has signed on for Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of Eat, Pray, Love playing the love interest for the Julia Roberts character. It’s still a mystery to me why stars are still lining up for Ryan Murphy’s follow up to Running with Scissors (a critical and commercial disaster). Bardem will also be seen later this year in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s latest Biutiful. Focus Features has yet to announce an official date for that film.
Futurama returning to TV at last.

Former co-stars of the Ang Lee film Brokeback Mountain, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, are reuniting in the next drama piece swimming their way. The new film directed by Edward Zwick will be Love and Other Drugs, based off of a non-fiction book adaptation called “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman”.
Just the two of us...again

Gyllenhaal will play the salesman, who begins a relationship with a woman who has Parkinson’s (Hathaway) while on one of his sales calls.

Hathaway and Gyllenhaal Together Again in 'Love and Other Drugs'

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are giving onscreen love another go in Love and Other Drugs, an adaptation of pharmaceutical sales rep Jamie Reidy's insider-y book Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman. Reidy worked at Pfizer during the '90s, and according to him, everything you thought was true about those creepy folks pushing samples and pens to your doctors is true. Show me the Viagra! No wait, don't.
Gyllenhaal will play the Pfizer-pusher who meets Anna Hathaway's character during one of his sales calls. She has Parkinson's disease, so it's safe to assume that Reidy will have some sort of epiphany about the shadiness of the industry that pays him (and pays him very well) and throw it all to the wind for the woman he loves. Last time Hathaway and Gyllenhaal were together onscreen was in Brokeback Mountain, so let's hope things end a little happier this time around,

Most outlets are focusing on the news that Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are reuniting for the first time since playing husband and wife in Brokeback Mountain in 2005. But to us, the more interesting news here is that filmmaker Ed Zwick, who previously directed Defiance and Blood Diamond, is going the dramatic route for once. Gyllenhaal and Hathaway have been cast in Love and Other Drugs, a pharmaceutical relationship drama previously titled Pharma. Fox 2000 and New Regency are developing the film, which is based off of Jamie Reidy's book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman."

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway last enjoyed the company of one another on the Oscar-winning feature Brokeback Mountain in which Gyllenhaal donned the porn-'stache and Hathaway sauntered around with one of the ugliest blonde hair-dos I have ever seen. It seems the two just didn't get enough of one another the first time around as The Hollywood Reporter announces they will team up once again, this time for Love and Other Drugs for Ed Zwick (The Last Samurai) and Fox 2000,
Charles Randolph (The Interpreter) adapted the script from Jamie Reidy's nonfiction book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman," which centers on Reidy (Gyllenhaal), a drug rep for Pfizer in the late 1990s who eventually wrote a memoir that shined a light on the practices of the pharmaceutical industry. Reidy begins a relationship with a woman who has Parkinson's (Hathaway) while on one of his sales calls.
