Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal to star in "Damn Yankees". You Can't Make this stuff up....

Um, you can't make this stuff up, but just brace yourself because it's true.

Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal are set to star in the remake of the classic musical "Damn Yankees", which - if you're not a big fat homo show tune queen (like me) and need some schoolin' - is the show Fosse did that brought us the song, "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets" and starred Gwen Verdon, both on Broadway and in the filmed version in the 1950's.

Okay, so New Line Cinema is the company doing it and as with all contemporary musicals, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are producing (They did HAIRSPRAY, but started the revival of musicals by doing tv musicals like ANNIE and GYPSY with Bette Midler, before moving to the big screen with  CHICAGO).

Jim Carrey will be playing the devil, and Jake will be the baseball player.

For a look inside Jake's singing talents, check out this clip of his musical number last year, in drag, singing on SNL a tune from DREAMGIRLS.

The outstanding cast includes breathtaking performances from Eli Kranski as David (starring recently in the feature film Holding Trevor among many film and stage credits), Mark L. Taylor as Walter (recently nominated ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for his work in Jonathan Tolins’ Secrets of the Trade and known for a multitude of film and television credits), Penny Peyser as Phyllis (seen onstage at The Circle in The Square and The Matrix and in many feature films and television works), Gretchen Koerner as Suzanne (returning after triumphant reviews in The Production Company’s O Jerusalem and Celebration Theatre’s Coffee Will Make You Black) and Bryan Okes Fuller as Rob (seen recently in CSI: New York, Ugly Betty, and Vanished).
