"Nailed" starring Jake Gyllenhaal gets a screening at the ArcLight Pasadena

"Nailed" starring Jessica Biel and Academy Award-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal, was filmed in and around the State House in 2008. But after financial troubles forced director David O. Russell to abandon the project with only one scene remaining, many thought the film would never be released.

"To shoot everything but one scene and then pull the plug and have $26 million sitting there with these kinds of stars, I just don't think I've heard of something like that," said Hollywood reporter Kim Masters, who followed the film's troubled development.

Deadline.com reports that nearly three years after "Nailed" finished production in Columbia, the film was finally given a test screening Tuesday night at the ArcLight Pasadena Theatre in California -- but nobody told the movie's stars or director.

"Last night's screening played like an assemblage of rough footage, without the nuance Russell would have injected had he finished," wrote Deadline's Mike Fleming, who speculated that new interest in the film is due to Russell's recent Oscar nomination for "The Fighter."
The film still needs a great deal of post-production before it could ever see a traditional release, to say nothing of the still-unfilmed crucial scene. The producers are keeping the project under wraps, with the ArcLight Pasadena saying the studio asked them not to confirm the screening even took place". Source: www.wistv.com

Happy 100th Anniversary, Jean Harlow!

Jean Harlow: 3rd March 1911 (Kansas City, Missouri) - 7th June 1937 (Los Angeles, California)

Today, 3rd March 2011, marks the 100 birthday mark of Baby Harlean Harlow Carpenter who became a star in Hollywood as Jean Harlow, born 3rd of March 1911 to Dr. Montclair and Mrs. Carpenter-Harlow.

"MGM writer Harry Ruskin recalled: 'The day "the baby" died there wasn't one sound in the commissary for three hours... not one goddamn sound." That's from Dina-Marie Kulzer's overview of a life cut short in 1937 by kidney failure. Jean Harlow was all of 26, but she'd appeared in 36 films and — a first for any movie actress — on the cover of LIFE. She would have turned 100 today and to celebrate, the Kitty Packard Pictorial is hosting a rich and varied blogathon running through Sunday.
By the way, out this week from Warner Home Video and TCM's new series of four-title DVD packages is TCM Greatest Classic Legends: Jean Harlow, featuring Dinner at Eight (1933), Libeled Lady (1936), China Seas (1935) and Wife Vs Secretary (1936). TCM also wants Angelenos to know that on Sunday, Darrell Rooney and Mark A Vieira, authors of Harlow in Hollywood: The Blonde Bombshell in the Glamour Capital, will be at the Egyptian Theater, where there'll be a slide show and a screening of Bombshell (1933)".

In "Wife vs Secretary", Clark Gable, a successful publisher, is involved in an adulterous affair with his curvaceous secretary, Jean Harlow (who turns in a scene-stealing performance and not as a sex-pot). Mirna Loy, who plays Gable's wife is disappointed that he doesn't immediately remember it's their anniversary.


A video dedicated to the first Platinum Blonde Bombshell: Jean Harlow, in her 100th Anniversary. Songs "I want your love" by Transvision Vamp and "The Jean Genie" by David Bowie

"A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie, woh ho
Get back home"
-"The Jean Genie" by David Bowie

"I don't want your books on Marilyn or Bobby D
I don't want your records, your pictures
Or anything, I want your funky love
I don't want your money, I want your love
I don't want your stars, I want your aahhh!
I want your love"
-"I want your love" by Transvision Vamp

Humphrey Bogart and his third wife, Mayo Methot, circa 1941.


"Virtue" (1932) - "Rotten Break" clip video

Veteran hustler Lil (Mayo Methot) offers living space and general advice to recently-arrested Mae (Carole Lombard) in "Virtue" directed by Edward Buzzell, scripted by Robert Riskin (screenplay), based on a story by Ethel Hill.

"Virtue" is also notable for supporting roles by the aforementioned Ward Bond (who would soon become a regular fixture in the films of director John Ford) and Mayo Methot as Lil, a madam with a weakness for no-good thugs, who comes to Mae's aid in the end (Methot would become Humphrey Bogart's first wife in 1938). The film is photographed by the great Joseph Walker (a four-time Oscar® nominee for such films as You Can't Take It with You [1938] and Only Angels Have Wings [1939]) Source: www.tcm.com
