Here we go again: Nikki Finke is reporting that production on David O. Russell’s Nailed has shut down once more as IATSE brass pulled members off the set over “payroll irregularities.” “Friday was supposed to be the deadline set for the crew to get paid since there was a promise of a loan being made by then,” Finke writes. “But IATSE apparently lost its patience with all the smoke-and-mirror promises so today the union ordered its crew to walk off the production.” No word yet from Capitol Films chief and noted yacht renter David Bergstein, who attributed SAG’s earlier walk-off to dodgy bridge financing that he insisted had since been resolved. We hear that Russell, meanwhile, still smarting from Cookiegate and his previous work stoppage, is spending his day off calling around for quotes on jinx insurance. [DHD]
