This movie is being directed by David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) and was written by Al Gore’s daughter, Kristen.  The stars attached are Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel, James Marsden, Kirstie Alley, Paul Reubens and James Brolin.  No problem so far, right?

The problem comes with the finances.  This movie has stopped production on three seperate occasions due to monetary concerns.  The staff have boycotted due to not being paid.  Jake and Jessica walked off the set when producers couldn’t prove that there were funds available to compensate them.  They’ve had a wrap party but the movie still isn’t complete.

It tells the story of a waitress who gets a nail stuck in her skull.  Alice (original name isn’t it?) goes to Washington DC and falls in love with a young Senator while trying to promote her cause (whatever that is).

The movie will be out sometime next year if they are able to complete it.
