American actress Jessica Biel has said that she wants to star in a big screen remake of Saved By The Bell. The 28-year-old actress wants Hollywood honchos to recreate the teen TV drama as a blockbuster film. “I want to be Kelly Kapowski, I’m putting it out there,” News Of The World quoted Biel as saying. Meanwhile Biel will also be starring in romantic comedy Nailed due to release in 2010. Source: DnaIndia.com

The release of Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal’s new movie Nailed has been thrown into doubt after the director quit the film just before scheduled re-shoots were due to take place. David O. Russell has walked away from the troubled project, about a woman who fights for better health care in the U.S. after getting shot in the head. The movie has been plagued by difficulties since filming began in 2008 – shoots were halted several times due to unpaid fees to crew and acting guild members. It came as producer David Bergstein had to fight off creditors after failing to properly bankroll the movie. A new financier, Ronald Tutor, has since come on board – but Russell feels unable to continue working on the film. He tells The Hollywood Reporter, “This has been a painful process for me. The multiple production delays and stoppages, which were caused by David Bergstein and preceded Ron Tutor’s direct involvement with me, have now spanned two years, and the circumstances under which the film would now be completed are much different on several fundamental levels than when we embarked several years ago. “I, unfortunately, am no longer involved in the project and cannot call it ‘my’ film. I wish Ron Tutor well.” Tutor adds, “(Russell) conducted himself like a perfect gentleman. I understood his position. It really didn’t have anything to do with him but with others, and we just reached a point where I couldn’t do what he wanted. “But it was a decent negotiation between the two of us. No lawyers. No idle threats, just two people trying to clean something up, and we couldn’t get there. It was surprising and disappointing, but I understood.” Source: Contactmusic

Check out these new stills of Jessica’s upcoming action flick The A-Team, out June 11th.

David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) is as explosive as they come, having been known to throw tantrums and fight with actors, but his movies show remarkable potential. In fact, in the first film class I ever took, we analyzed Three Kings (and you all well know, the mark of a great movie is that it is shown in film classes). I have no problem with what The Daily Beast is reporting: Russell is seeking to finish off his political satire Nailed. Recall that production stalled in 2008, after producer David Bergstein went belly-up, and is reportedly facing a long list of unpaid debts. Finally, the flick was called off without any financial backing. Now, Russell says that he is only one scene away from finishing it, and wants to get it done. The story is about a woman who literally takes a nail to the head, prompting her to lose her sexual inhibitions. She then goes to Washington on crusade to reform healthcare (timely). It stars Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Catherine Keener. The only scene that remains to be shot is the one where Biel takes the title nail to her head. Hopefully, the production can find some financial support to wrap it up, and make some money. The actors seem on board to get it done. And I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing another Russell production, especially this vein of satire. Source: TheFilmStage.com
