May 18, 2008

Production of “Nailed,” starring Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal, is expected to resume Monday after being shut down for a second time due to financial problems.
A rep for the film said funds have been deposited to resolve the payment shortfalls that resulted in below-the-line crews refusing to work Thursday and Friday.

Members of the Intl. Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees were ordered by IATSE leaders not to show up at the South Carolina set after not being paid.

David O. Russell’s ‘Nailed’ shuts down production again

May 16, 2008

Production of “Nailed,” starring Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal, has been shut down for a second time due to financial problems as below-the-line crews refused to work Thursday.
Members of the Intl. Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees were ordered by IATSE leaders not to show up at the South Carolina set after not being paid.

Capitol Films, which is financing the political comedy, was not immediately available for comment. IATSE also would not comment but a source familiar with the situation said production’s expected to resume today.

The Screen Actors Guild told its members last week to stay off the “Nailed” set after Capitol failed to deposit enough required money in SAG accounts set up to pay the actors. After a one-day shutdown last Friday, production resumed Monday.

Pic, directed by David O. Russell, began shooting April 15 and is due to wrap in mid-June. Catherine Keener, James Marsden and Tracy Morgan also star.
