Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel walk off Nailed set

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel have walked off the set of the new movie Nailed because of money reasons. The Screen Actor’s Guild will not allow cast members to return to the set until producers prove they have enough money set aside in a union-mandated account to pay the cast. This is the second scandal to hit the set of this movie. A few weeks ago veteran actor James Caan quit the film after a disagreement with director David O. Russell.
I can’t believe how greedy those actors are.
James Cann leaves over “how to choke on a cookie” and thee guys leave over money.

i do not believe this is GREED when they want to get PAID for their time and the work they have done. thatd be like if YOU went to work and they couldnt afford to pay you for your months and months of time there, im sure youd be angry and be walking out too 🙂
I agree, mandee. I really don’t think that Kim and Dave would go in to work everyday for free. Besides, this is not really the actors choice. The Screen Actor’s Guild is a ‘union’ for actor’s. You do as they say, and they protect your work. You don’t do as they say, and you’re pretty much out of work!!
And I can’t believe how illiterate some of you are. The actors didn’t walk off because they were “greedy”. Read it again. They walked off because their union made them. You have to support your union’s decisions if you belong to one, or you won’t get their support if you ever need it.
who here thinks that they will just shut the whole fricken’ film down
They are part of a union, just like any other union they have to be paid, even if you want to do pro bono you cannot it is not allowed. I know a writer that had to not take a credit in the film so he could help a friend of his write a pilot for less money than the writers guild allowed and that was 2 years ago. Plus SAG is huge and its not like they wouldn’t know it was going on, Jake and Jessica come on. But thats what happens and those producers know and hopefully they did budget enough otherwise they are to blame for being naiive and stupid since that is the industry we work in.
Isn’t Jake Gyllenhaal suppose to playing Manning in a bio pic? What is production status on that by the way?
liam…Dude… if the film production has no money it will shut down, Many pictures do every year you just don’t hear about them!
How are they greedy, thats there job and last time i checked u should get paid the right amount for your job, are u telling me if ur boss came to you and said “sorry we cant pay u for the next 3 months ur going to be working for us” ull say “oh okay!” i dont think so, so what the hell are u guys talking about.
OMG.
They’re friggen rich to death already.
Why in the world would they need any more money?
OH MY GOD, CELEBRITIES.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS,
THEY DON’T GET PAID AT ALL.
AND HERE YOU ARE, DEMANDING MORE PAY WHEN YOU’RE ALREADY FILTHY RICH???
p.s.
sorry for the caps. i’m too outraged to type this whole thing correctly.
