Dramz On The Set

Filed under: Film Flickers

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel have been ordered by the Screen Actor's Guild to walk off the North Carolina set off their new movie, directed by the cantankerous David O. Russell, because of financing issues.

Click here for all the deets!

Production is only half-way completed. It remains uncertain if/when filming will resume.

For those of you with a good memory (or not), David O. Russell is that scary director that got into a huge fight with Lily Tomlin (caught on tape) on the set of his last movie.

      Why do actors bother with this guy, Russell. He's demeaning and disrespectful to his crew and sometimes actors. He's quite frightening. I personally don't even think he's movies are that great, but even if they were, nobody deserves the verbal (and sometimes physical) abuse he gives out to his crew. Now he has no control of his finances.

      Director had spat with Clooney as well.

      David O. Russell went to my college (Amherst College, not UMass Amherst) - therfore he is awesome.

      Apparently Perez thinks all the south is one big state. Leave that lil bubble you call LA and get your geography right

      the movie is being filmed in south carolina not north carolina

      Let's get one thing straight.
      The filming is in SOUTH Carolina. Right down from where I live… not in North Carolina. So get it right.

      So the deal is that some of the financing isn't there yet and there might be some union violations that have to be straightened out. They are supposed to re-start the movie Monday or Tuesday according to blog reports. This time the problem isn't the crazy director. Except for the disagreement with James Caan, no one seems to mind him at all. Al Gore's daughter wrote the screenplay for this and it's supposed to really be funny.

      Geez we South Carolinian's are pretty brutal with our corrections!

    22. la says – reply to this


      22

      I would walk off too.
      he's the worst director ever I hated watching the way he treated Lilly Tomlin

    23. Fo Realz says – reply to this


      23

      Yes, that was the point of the story…where it's being shot! You South Carolina people are real whiny losers if you have to hype the fact that some lame ass movie is being made there. One that will never be finished because the director is psycho. But it's in South Carolina! Holy shit!! How exciting!!

    24. la says – reply to this

      I also think that members of the board at sag
      disliked his mistreatment of actors and staff too

      He needs counseling.
      oh and the movie he was shooting sounds like a knock off of a John Waters movie a dirty shame.

      Re: squirty myfishysnatch – That's really sick, mate. I bet you fuck horses, just like Martin Bryant — if you really want to make an impact, why don't you go on a murderous rampage and finish it by shooting yourself in the head, you disgusting bastard.

      i hope they kick them out of the fucking state.

      Who cares?! It's gonna flop anyway–especially with Jessica Horseface Biel! How the fuck did she get casted?

    28. read the info correctly says – reply to this


      28

      The movie is being shot in SOUTH Carolina, not NORTH Carolina

    29. Guest says – reply to this

      They really shut the movie down because of Jessica Biel! She's a horrible actress!

      I coulda sworn they were filming in Columbia, South Carolina, not North Carolina..

      Re: Fo Realz – You got it wrong: we don't like being confused with NORTH Carolina. There's a huge difference between the two and Yankees seem to think we're interchangeable. (Just wondering, does anybody ever get North and South Dakota mixed up?)

    32. katgrrl71 says – reply to this


      32

      little lesson in geography…North Carolina and South Carolina are 2 different states

    33. Realist says – reply to this


      33

      Re: Fo Realz –
      So I guess you live in Coolville, huh?

      I'm thrilled and proud to live in South Carolina, and I hate it when people get us mixed up with NC, but, to be honest, I couldn't tell you one difference between North and South Dakota!

      I've been watching the Nailed shoot and was wondering why everyone and everything associated with it vanished last Friday… hope they straighten it out - there are a lot of other jobs at stake besides the actors'.

      He also is the one George Clooney punched out on the set of "Three Kings". The guy must be a prick.

      Either way, I think the movie will bomb at the box office. Neither Biels or Gyllenhaal are good actors and their previous movies were bombs too. I dont think too many people are interested in seeing them on the big screen.

      anything that puts a halt to a jessica biel movie is ok by me! wooden man-girl couldn't act her way out of the proverbial paper bag.

      I am not understanding nothing… Money is over cause this they stopped filming or strikes SAG´s ordered ?

      Go Colatown! Born and raised in Columbia, y'all. Hope the filming is successful bc we'd love to see our town on the big screen.

      That is pretty sad. David is actually quite a talented guy.

      Come make movies in Puerto Rico!

      this has nothing to do with the director.
      Financing is secured with the Producers thru an INSURANCE company.

      It happens.

    43. Regan says – reply to this


      43

      Perez you didn't read the article! The set is in South Caroline not North Carolina…they ARE, contrary to popular belief TWO DIFFERENT STATES!!!!!! Maybe you should pull your head out of your ass and get out of Hollywood once in a while or at least look at a map.

      SOUTH CAROLINA you idiot. Why do you think Reese and Jake have been all over Columbia? Go learn the US map.

      47

      Its always about the actors, nobody ever think about the crew, those people who lost a lot of money during the writer strike dont make millions and they need their job to feed their family. The actor guilt suck!

      48

      The article says SOUTH Carolina … that's the state below ours. Yes, we are two different states.

      Re: oscar –
      the movie is not in NORTH carolina. Its being filmed in Columbia, SOUTH Carolina. I'm a USC student and the whole crew has been filming by the SC State House for the last month or so, and using our gym.

      NC and SC are like 2 different countries. The article says the set is in SC, NC pays their bills fool.

      The film was only shutdown for only a day on Friday it'll start filming again this Monday or Tuesday in South Carolina ! !

      Who uses a hedge fund as collateral for a movie????
      WTF??

      And I loves me some Jake, but hasn't this movie sort of been done before, i.e. John Waters' "A Dirty Shame"?

      I hope the movie ends up being made, but David O. Russell is insane and anyone who signs on to do a movie with him should really rethink their decisions…or talk to Lily Tomlin first!

    53. SC says – reply to this


      53

      They are filming in SC! And…Justin Timberlake was here too beacause he played basketball at the Strom Thurmond Gym at USC.:o)

      57

      I have been on set for a month…it is definitely in Columbia, South Carolina…give Jess and Jake and everyone else a break, this lack of funding is a result of a volatile market and overrated bonds, bad loans, etc…filming will resume eventually
