- FIGHTING JACOB
 |
| Kate Mara |
Jamie Bell and Kate Mara have been tapped to star in the
romantic comedy Fighting Jacob.
Variety reports that Bell will play, “Jacob ‘The Manic
Maniac’ Rosenthal, an up-and-coming boxer whose extreme OCD is the key to his
success in the ring.” Bell suffers a
devastating breakup with Mara’s character, after which he must re-evaluate his
life and find a medium between his happiness and success as a fighter. Charlie
McDowell (Bye Bye Benjamin) will direct.
Bell is currently filming the promising thriller Snow
Piercer with director Bong Joon-ho, while Mara is busy shooting David Fincher’s
Netflix series House of Cards with Kevin Spacey.
Production on Fighting Jacob is slated to begin this summer
in Los Angeles.
If you were wondering Kate Mara and Rooney Mara are sisters,
Rooney most recently got an Academy Nomination for her role as Lisbeth Salander
in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, seeing that in The Girl that Played with
Fire, Lisbeth’s sister is introduced in the book, wouldn’t it be cool if Kate
played her? After all Kate is already working with director David Fincher (The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) on his latest project, so her casting could be a possibility
if the film does get made!
