Actor Jake Gyllenhaal of 'Brokeback Mountain' fame and actress Jessica Biel have been asked to leave director David O. Russell's 'Nailed' because of financial issues.

The actors were asked to leave by the Screen Actor's Guild because the makers of the film have apparently deposited insufficient funds with the guild. The movie is not yet complete and production is only way half way, perezhilton.com reports.

Russell is known for being difficult. He has been in the news earlier for having a fight with George Clooney on the sets of 'Three Kings' and for a tiff with veteran actress Lily Tomlin which was caught on tape.
