This is great news because I haven’t seen James Brolin in a movie for quite some time. He is replacing James Caan in David O. Russell’s “Nailed,” with Kirstie Alley and Olivia Crocicchia also boarding the politically charged romance-comedy.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Caan and the director had a heck-of-a-time deciding on how to choke on a cookie. Brolin is lucky. He can turn to his son Josh for advice: The younger Brolin will portray George W. Bush choking on a pretzel in a scene from Oliver Stone’s upcoming biopic.

Alley plays a veterinarian who fails to remove a nail from the head of her niece (Jessica Biel) — funny. The injured woman travels to Washington to fight for better health care with the help of a disgruntled youth (Crocicchia) and falls for a congressman (Jake Gyllenhaal) – even crazier.
