Now called Accidental Love, comedy Nailed began as a David O Russell movie more than seven years ago.
Here’s a look at its strange story… Until recently, it looked as though the film would never see the light of day at all.
Instead, it would soon prove to be a nightmare.
The script is quirky, to say the least.
Then the financiers shut the production down altogether just one day before the shoot was due to be completed.
The director later described the experience as painful and Kafkaesque.
Well, it can get worse.
you could make a movie that doesnt get completed because of mysterious financing.
Wick and Fisher wouldlater addthat theNailedproduction was one of the great bitch slappings of either of our lives.
From what we can gather, the response from that test screening wasnt particularly positive.
Nailed, meanwhile, has continued to cling to the edge of the film industry like a limpet.
Its credited to a director named Stephen Greene an Alan Smithee-like pseudonym for Russell.
For better or worse, the incredibly strangeNailedsaga will soon draw to a close.
