Gyllenhaal + biel's nailed hit by more problems
Production on Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel's new movie Nailed ground to a halt on Friday (23May08), after more financial difficulties hit the cash-strapped project.
A number of staffmembers failed to show up for work at the South Carolina set on Thursday (22May08), after union leaders at the International Alliance of Theatrical + Stage Employees (IATSE) called for a boycott when they learned below-the-line crews were not being paid.
Production is expected to resume this Thursday (29May08), reports industry publication Variety.
It is the third time director David O. Russell's independent movie has been shut down. Workers belonging to the IATSE union also held up production on 15 May (08) for similar pay reasons, while Gyllenhaal and Biel, both members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), walked off the set on 9 May (08), after producers failed to show they had enough money to pay the cast.
In April (08), veteran James Caan quit his cameo role after a bust-up with Russell. (MT/WNWCRV/LJ)
