Maggie Gyllenhaal pinch-hits for Mendes-Eggers comedy
Maggie Gyllenhaal, actress/luckdragon, seen here studying her lines.
American Beauty director Sam Mendes has picked Maggie Gyllenhaal to replace Toni Collette in his upcoming comedy from the screenplay by literary fraud David Eggers and his his equally untalented author wife, Vendela Vida. Collette dropped out last week due to “scheduling conflicts,” which is the acting world’s version of “it’s not you, it’s me. I don’t know how to love.”
As previously reported, the as-of-yet untitled comedy stars NBC’s John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, who play a couple traveling across America searching for a place to settle down and start a family. Krasinski and Rudolph’s characters are loosely based on Eggers and Vida, only likeable.
Gyllenhaal will be seen this summer in the Warner Bros. event movie The Dark Knight, wherein she plays Batman’s “girlfriend” Rachel Dawes – thus confirming suspicions that Batman is in fact latently gay. When she’s not acting, Gyllenhaal grants wishes to little boys in the land of Fantasia, where she’s tended to by magical gnomes named Engywook and Urgl.
