Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel Get Nailed... By Al Gore's Daughter

The title of this post is scandalous and strange, but so is this film news. Al Gore's daughter Kristin Gore is co-writing a screenplay titled Nailed (not based on either of her novels Sammy's Hill or Sammy's House). Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel are attached to star together in the movie.

Here's the plot: "Biel would play Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges. The uninsured Joyce goes on a crusade to Washington to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured. She meets an immoral congressman (Gyllenhaal) who takes advantage of her sex drive and capitalizes on her crusade as Joyce heads into her own career in politics."

I'm picturing something along the lines of Secretary, sort of dark and bizarre and sexual, but Jessica Biel is no Maggie Gyllenhaal. I'm curious to find out how Kristin Gore's foray into screenwriting goes. What do you think of this movie news?
