Ed Zwick is to continue directing A-list movie stars, despite making mostly crap movies. The Defiance helmer will direct Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway in the comedic/drama Love and Other Drugs. According to Empire, the film will be based on the book by Jamie Reidy, Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman, which took a light-hearted look at the drug. Zwick isn't exactly known for his deft comic touch, and always kind of reminded me of a sub-par Michael Mann; yet he has always attracted top drawer casts. Gyllenhaal always struck me as someone who could be very funny with the right material, so let's hope he's given just that.
