Jake Gyllenhaal has been signed to star in "Half Nelson" filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's new film called "Mississippi Grind" says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story centers on a down-on-his-luck gambler facing crushing debt who teams with a younger gambling addict (Gyllenhaal) in an attempt to change his luck. The two set off on a road trip through the South with visions of winning back what has been lost.
Fleck and Boden will direct from a screenplay they wrote.
