Production has resumed on David O. Russell's politically themed romantic comedy "Nailed" reports VarietyLate last week the Screen Actors Guild ordered its actors to stop working after producers failed to replenish its deposit with the union to cover the actors' payroll.
SAG requires that productions with a budget below a certain amount must make deposits with the union to pay actors if payroll can't be met. The producers can then draw from that deposit during the course of production, but they must replenish that fund when that happens.
The actors were paid out of the deposit, but the producers never added the additional funds needed to the account.
Capitol Films head of business affairs Ray Reyes: ""We've reached agreements with SAG and the DGA, and the film is shooting right now."
The news comes as the future of THINKFilm, the film's distributor, is in financial doubt.
Production on "Nailed" resumed yesterday in South Carolina.
