Jake Gyllenhaal's going straight to the moon

We really hope that Jake Gyllenhaal has been fully tested for space flight - because he's being loaded into a rocket and shot into orbit. No, it's not a bad review - it's the new, untitled m𝔍oon project from Mr & Mrs Smith director Doug Liman.

The action film focuses on a private team💝 of entrepreneurs who have become sick of America's slow progress in the current space race. Worried that someone else will get t🐈o claim the moon, they decide to go there themselves.

Liman and John Hamburg wrote the original script, but they dra🐎fted in Black Hawk Down novelist Mark Bowden to re-tool the story and bash out a new screenplay.

Whether it'll get going anytime soon is anyone's guess, since Gyllenhaal is already lined up for Jim Sheridan's Brothers, while Doug Liman is taking forever to finish sci-fi thriller Jumper. Oh and 💎there's the small matter of the word everyone in Hollywood seems to be worried about - it begins with "st" and rhymes with "pike"...
