LOS ANGELES - Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, who played a doomed husband and wife in "Brokeback Mountain," are in negotiations to reunite for "Love and Other Drugs."
Ed Zwick ("Defiance") is directing the Fox 2000/New Regency project (formerly titled "Pharma"), which Charles Randolph ("The Interpreter") adapted from Jamie Reidy's nonfiction book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman."
Reidy was a drug rep for Pfizer in the late 1990s whose memoir shone a light on the practices of the pharmaceutical industry. Gyllenhaal will play the salesman, who begins a relationship with a woman who has Parkinson's disease (Hathaway) while on one of his sales calls. Their love story plays out in the political and social context of the time.
Fox is in the process of obtaining the rights from Universal, which decided not to develop the property.
Hathaway has "Alice in Wonderland" moving toward a March release and "Get Smart 2" scheduled to film in May, with co-star Steve Carell working on the script.
Gyllenhaal has the David O. Russell-directed "Nailed" in postproduction and Disney's video-game adaptation "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" hitting theaters in May.
