New movie in the works to star Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway reuniting the two who costared in BBM (we all know that here). I think it would be great to see them back together but check below for the movie title. ;D Jake and Anne have political causes so I'm not suprised to them being involved in a film and I thought they had great "chemistry" in BBM.
Pharmaceutical causes have been take on in THE CONSTANT GARDENER, which was set in Africa. An attack on Viagra might be needed as I think it's become a recreation drug. All drugs have unintended side effects. It might just take some time for it to show up.
Brokeback's Jake Gyllenhaal and Hathaway find 'Love & Other Drugs'

Big industry have been profiled in film with tobacco, oil and the automobile, but pharmaceutical hasn't been served up as of late. That might change, as Production Weekly reports that Brokeback Mountain's Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway are re-teaming on Love & Other Drugs.
Based on the novel "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Saleman", this would see Gyllenhaal play Jamie Reidy who is to the pharmaceutical business what Jerry Maguire was to professional sports and Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can) was to bank fraud. He's the guy who's been there, commands a big salary and walked away with the insider stories.
The book description goes onto say that it reveals the questionable practices of drug reps, nurses, and even physicians. Reidy traces his ups and downs as a rep for giant drug manufacturer Pfizer, maker of some of the most widely prescribed and used drugs in existence, including Viagra.
Look for further updates on this project within the next couple of days.

Gyllenhaal-Hathaway movie to shoot scene in Aliquippa
ALIQUIPPA — A scene for the Anne Hathaway-Jake Gyllenhaal movie “Love & Other Drugs” will be shot at the former Aliquippa Hospital.
The building’s owner, Chuck Betters, said filming is scheduled for the final week of this month.
The scene, expected to take just one day to film, will be outdoors in the rain. The crew of the Fox Studios drama will erect two temporary towers that can create artificial rain.
Directed by Edward Zwick (“The Last Samurai”) and based on the book “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman,” the movie centers on a pharmaceutical salesman competing in the ruthless business of hawking male performance enhancement drugs. He falls in love with a woman who has Parkinson’s disease.
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, both Oscar nominees, are joined in the cast by Judy Greer (“The Wedding Planner”) and Carnegie Mellon grad Josh Gad, who was a cast member in the short-lived, Pittsburgh-set Fox-TV comedy “Back to You.”
