David O. Russell directed a movie, but he doesn't want anyone to see it.

Accidental Love, previously known as Nailed, released a trailer Tuesday with an obvious difference from the original project—the director's credit. Now directed by "Stephen Greene," Accidental Love stars Jessica Biel as a woman who gets shot in the head with a nail gun but can't afford to fix the problem because she doesn't have health insurance. Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden also appear in the film directed by Russell's pseudonym.

The trailer follows Biel as she deals with her unpredictable mood swings as a result of the nail and her ultimate trip to Washington, D.C. to fight for health care change. It's in the nation's capital that she meets a clueless congressman (Gyllenhaal) who tries to help her with her cause even though it might not be possible.

"Oh, dear, that's not very manageable," Gyllenhaal says of her mission.

The offbeat comedy, which is based on Al Gore's daughter's book, Sammy's Hill, transitions into a political love between Biel and her kooky congressman. Marsden, however, tries to win her back after calling off their engagement in the wake of the accident.

Russell, who recently directed hits such as American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, quit the movie because of production delays and financial issues.

"...The circumstances under which the film would now be completed are much different on several fundamental levels than when we embarked several years ago," Russell told The Hollywood Reporter in 2010. "I, unfortunately, am no longer involved in the project and cannot call it 'my' film."

The long-lost film has finally come to light and will hit the big screen on Feb. 20, but if you're itching to see it, it will be available on-demand on Feb. 10.
