Robert Altman wants to work with Jake Gyllenhaal

Alt-ered states
His heart transplant didn't make "A Prairie Home Companion" director Robert Altman cut back on his marijuana intake - if anything, he's enjoying the ganja even more now.
"I've increased it because of my heart condition. I even have a prescription for marijuana pills," he told us when we asked him about his fondness for the illicit drug.
Thankfully, that new heart Altman got about 10 years ago came from a woman much younger than his 81 years.
Altman loved working with young Lindsay Lohan on his new flick, but he didn't mention whether he and the wild young lass partook of any illegal substances on the movie set.
Although the "M*A*S*H" director said he wants to work with La Lohan again, the young Hollywood star he most wants to rope into his new feature, "Hands on a Hard Body," filming in September, is Jake Gyllenhaal.
The name of the movie may sound tantalizing, but cool your jets, "Brokeback" fans. The flick is about folks keeping their hands on a car to try to win it in a shopping mall contest.
Altman told us he has been in talks with Jake but hasn't gotten a final answer from him yet.

Is that why his movies are slow and boring? :laugh:

Eric, have you seen his 1970 opus Brewster McCloud, starring Bud Cort and Sally Kellerman? This quirky little feature, shot on location in Houston, Texas, may be boring to some (but not to me, and this is incidentally the director's personal favorite of his works), but slow it ain't! Mr. Altman might have been partaking of the ganja quite generously when he came up with the idea for this one!
:)
Cheers,
Scott
