David O. Russell Film Shut Down 4th Time June 22, 2008   - Posted by Stephen This has truly turned out to be the indie film shoot from hell. The political comedy Nailed, directed and co-written by David O. Russell and starring Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal, was shut down by IATSE on Friday for the same reasons as before: crew not getting paid. I can’t imagine why anyone would do business with David Bergstein’s Capitol Films again because of all the financing turmoil… From what I was told, the filming already stopped and they had their second wrap party where Jesse and Jake both attended but no cameras were there.

Someone posted on the movie message board that filming is set to resume tomorrow and will wrap on tuesday.

Jake finished his scenes last week, he’s in London now getting ready to shoot another movie.

What about Connecticut or Washington?

I,m curious too will they be filming in Washington and Connecticut or just one of the states or are they completely done filming the movie ?

They are not filming in CT. They will film exterior scenes in Washington for a day, after filming wraps in SC tomorrow. I don’t know if Jessica will be involved with that.

‘Nailed’ gunned down — again

Even in the final stretch of filming in Columbia, “Nailed” can’t catch a break.

Filming was supposed to finish this weekend on the comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, but shoot was shut down for a fourth time.

The International Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees ordered members to avoid the set on Friday because movie crews had not been paid — again, Variety and L.A. Weekly reported.

Filming was expected to start again today, a source told Variety. The S.C. Film Commission said it did not know if shooting had resumed. Attempts to reach the production company of “Nailed” was unsuccessful today.

The independent movie’s backer, Capitol Films, received financing this month to get filming restarted after the last stoppage by crew members that began on May 22 and lasted nearly two weeks.

The financing was supposed to be enough to get through the shooting and pay union penalties, sources told The Hollywood Reporter this month.

Still, the sources said at the time they don’t know if there’s enough money to last through post-production. “One more shutdown will kill the movie,” a film executive told by The Hollywood Reporter this month.

The shoot around Columbia, which started in mid-April, was supposed to end Sunday.

Work on the movie was stopped three times during two weeks in May — twice by the union representing movie crews after members were not paid and once by the actors union because not enough money was put into accounts used to pay its members.

“Nailed” is a political satire co-written by Kristin Gore, the former vice president’s daughter, and the film’s director David O. Russell.

Biel plays an uninsured receptionist who becomes sex-crazed after a maintenance worker accidentally shoots a nail into her head. She goes to Washington to fight for the rights of “bizarrely injured” people where she meets a congressman, played by Gyllenhaal, who takes advantage of her sex drive.

Columbia was chosen for filming, in part, because the State House could double for the U.S. Capitol.

Did anybody watch the Guys Choice awards last night? Jessica won but she wasn’t there. Did they show a pre recored speech or something?

If I’m right, the Guys Choice ceromony took place a few weeks ago, so Jessica would have been busy filming Nailed, that’ll be why she didnt attend.

I didnt catch it so I wouldn’t know about that.

How did Jake attend the second wrap party if he’s supposedly been in London? That’s what I heard.

I don’t think there was another wrap party. Jake finished his scenes last tuesday, so he’s been in London for over a week now.
