Tatiana Siegel of Variety:
Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal (both pictured) are in negotiations to star in Jim Sheridan's "Brothers" for Relativity Media.
The film, a remake of Susanne Bier's Danish-language war drama [Brødre], centers on a man (Maguire) who is sent to fight in Afghanistan while his black-sheep brother (Gyllenhaal) cares for his wife and child.
Bier's film, which was released in 2004...In the remake, which David Benioff is writing, Gyllenhaal would play the younger brother and Maguire the older one.
"Brothers" is scheduled to begin shooting in early November...
Gyllenhaal, whose credits include "Zodiac" and "Brokeback Mountain," most recently starred in "Rendition," which unspooled last week at the Toronto Film Festival .
Maguire is hot on the heels of Sony's "Spider-Man 3" and also recently appeared in "The Good German."
I'm sure Jake and Tobey will work well together...Maybe in between takes, they will decide which one of them will suit up for Spider-Man 4?
