Jessica Biel Gets It All the Time In 'F***ing Engaged'

DateThursday, October 29, 2009 at 2:52AM
We probably won't be lucky enough to see this one play out quite as explicitly as the title or plot synopsis, but Jessica Biel is set to star and produce a film based on screenplay titled Fucking Engaged, about a couple that decides to have sex everyday leading up to their wedding in an effort to avoid becoming their parents.

Obviously, the title will have to be massaged a bit, or so you would think. The Hollywood Reporter calls it a "raunchy comedy," which should come as no surprise. In fact, the only surprise is that Biel, whose career doesn't quite seem to be accelerating in any particular direction, is attaching herself for dual duty. It's kind of her movie now.

The script was written by Julia Brownell, a playwright who has made some short films and has performed in improv groups. It's her first screenplay sale, and Biel's third acquisition as a producer with her Iron Ocean Films. There's no news on who might direct or who might play Biel's lucky-ass fiance.

Biel has a few projects in the works, including two appearances in high-profile projects next year - Valentine's Day and The A-Team - but she's still searching for that signature role, and she's been around long enough at this point to have found it. In the meantime, you can enjoy her pantomiming sex, I guess.

Wow I am going to invest in any company making hand lotion.

Most people have a lot of sex before the wedding day. It's after-wards that it starts to dry up. I'm having a hard time getting what's innovative about this...but maybe I skew older than the target audience.

I know quite a few couples who stop having sex once they're engaged. It's usually to cleanse themselves in the sight of their god or something similarly ridiculous.

Well everyone is entitled to their beliefs Colin Boyd. But if a couple has already jumped off that cliff in a relationship, why reign it back in? That seems strange. Especially if your religious convictions weren't all that strong before said engagement.

I have however heard of couples abstaining for as much as a week or two before the wedding so that they are filled with renewed desire for one another on the wedding night and during the honeymoon.

That I get.

If anything, this movie serves as a reminder of that which I already knew: Someone else out there is having their way with Jessica Biel.

It's just not me.

(Frown).
