Maggie Gyllenhaal Lining Up Projects
originally posted March 5, 2004
Maggie Gyllenhaal (Mona Lisa Smile, Secretary) is set to join Tony Shalhoub and Edie Falco in the indie dark comedy The Great New Wonderful, followed by a role in the ensemble comedy Happy Endings, replacing Jennifer Garner.
Penned by playwright Sam Catlin and directed by Danny Leiner, Great New Wonderful is set in an anxious post-9/11 New York. Gyllenhaal plays a competitive cake designer and rival to Falco's character in the high-stakes high-society pastry game. The project starts shooting March 17 in New York.
Director Don Roos' Happy Endings, which has recently been set up at Lions Gate Films, involves three stories among 10 characters in Los Angeles. Gyllenhaal will play a woman who is involved with both a father and a son. Lisa Kudrow, who worked with Roos on The Opposite of Sex, has been attached to the project for some time.
