Will David Russell's Indie Film 'Nailed' complete filming?

Settled as No

From Deadline Hollywood Daily:

David O. Russell's indie pic Nailed which began filming April 15th may have been put on hold yesterday. It's a risque political comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel who sources say are standing by to see if the movie can continue to completion. The script was co-written by Al Gore's daughter Kristen (once a staff writer on Futurama) and Russell. Details are sketchy, but I've gleaned that the pic's predicament is related to its financing, not to its helmer Russell.

The film focuses on a naive small town waitress (Biel) who gets a nail lodged in her head and discovers a new-found sexual drive. When she travels to Washington to fight for better health care for the "bizarrely injured", she meets an unscrupulous U.S. congressman (Gyllenhaal) who attempts to take advantage of her. The movie also stars James Marsden, Catherine Keener and Tracy Morgan. Those are a lot of name actors to be sidelined. One source with insider knowledge about the production tells me, "The actors are waiting to see if the movie will continue. It's kind of amazing, really."
