H'wood Reporter: Gyllenhaal and Hathaway in negotiations: "Love and Other Drugs"
Kd5000:
Ironically I read an excerpt today on IMDB.com that LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS was previously titled PHARMA. Maybe PHARMA was too clinical sounding and ppl would stay away thinking it was FRONTLINE / PBS documentary on the pharmaceutical industry. Afterall, I had to explain to ppl that FROST/NIXON was a docudrama and not a documentary.
I still don't think they got the concept. :(

"Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are in talks to star in Edward Zwick's upcoming "Love and Other Drugs" (previously titled "Pharma") for Fox 2000 and New Regency.
Based on the book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman" by Jamie Reidy, the film follows a drug salesman who falls for a woman with Parkinson's (Hathaway).
Charles Randolph ("The Interpreter," "The Life of David Gale") wrote the screenplay. Filming, according to the Hollywood Reporter, is set to begin this fall.
Zwick most recently directed "Defiance." Hathaway, who recently starred in "Bride Wars," will soon be seen in "Alice in Wonderland." As for Gyllenhaal, he's got "Brothers," "Nailed" and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" coming soon.
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway previously shared some onscreen time in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain.""

Last night I posted briefly in the JJJ thread that E!'s program The Daily 10 did a very brief segment on the prospect of this movie and mentioned the BBM reunion possible here between Jake and Anne. In doing so, they showed a quick out take (blink and you would have missed it) from the scene where Jack retrieves Lureen's hat after the barrel run. Seeing the out take was neat-o.

That would be great to see them again, I have never heard much about them off scene. I remember having the impression when they were all on Oprah that they really had not bonded in their time together.

But is it just me, or do anyone else think someone might work a little on finding a more subtle, imaginative title?
Neither "Love and Other Drugs" nor "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman" ::) seems to fit that bill.

How about "Erection?" Or would that be confused with Reese's movie, "Election?"

Darn! That's what I was going to name MY movie. What are the odds?!
Why do you think it's not the same movie, John?
