May 27 | Biel & Gyllenhaal’s nailed hit by more problems
Production on Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal’s new movie Nailed ground to a halt on May 23, 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 May 22, 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 on May 29, 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 May 15 for similar pay reasons, while Gyllenhaal and Biel, both members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), walked off the set on May 09, after producers failed to show they had enough money to pay the cast. In April, veteran James Caan quit his cameo role after a bust-up with Russell.
