James Caan has reportedly walked off the set of his new movie, Nailed, four days into filming, citing creative differences with the film's director, David O. Russell. FITSnews says:

For the first time in a career spanning four decades and over ninety movies, actor James Caan has walked off the set of one of his films...Citing differences with director David O. Russell, Caan left the set of the film last night and will have to be recast."

Before we start accusing James Caan of throwing a hissy fit, please keep in mind that David O. Russell is a raging psycopath, notorious for being completely out of his fucking mind. It's like somebody replaced his brain with the brain of a rabid fire-breathing werewolf then decided to send him to film school. I don't know the medical terminology for that, so if somebody could look it up that would be great.

Apparently hi-res pictures of James Caan don't exist, so here's his son Scott:

I Heart Huckabees is one of those movies I watch when it's on, meaning I wouldn't buy the DVD, but I'll watch it when it's on cable and other things aren't. The other day I caught it again and thought to myself how cool it probably was to work on a quirky movie like this and what a fun experience it must have been for the cast. No, turns out the director, David O. Russell, is an out of control psychopath who's lucky he didn't kill someone on that set. Lily Tomlin does an okay job trying to reason with this animal, but there are only so many ways you can try to communicate with people like Russell until you realize he doesn't speak "reason." The fact that he isn't walking around with a boom microphone permanently lodged up his ass speaks more about Lily Tomlin than it does David O. Russell.


Note: These videos are packed full of NSFW language, so you've been warned.
