A production company working on a film executive produced by Spike Lee is being accused of holding out on thousands of dollars owed to the crew, reports the New York Daily News. Workers on the set of You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Kills You, directed by Spike Lee protégé Michael Pinckney, say they toiled for five weeks in May and have yet to see the remainder of their initial payments."A lot of people took pay cuts to do Spike a favor," said one crew member, who estimated 20-30 people were missing up to $3,000 each. I never got my last two weeks' pay," another worker told the Daily News. The crew members said Lee's attachment to the project encouraged them to work for below-union rates. An accountant for production company Drop Squad said the workers will eventually get their money. "It's not a matter of if [they get paid], but when," the accountant told the paper.
You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Kills You, a murder drama set in New York's hip-hop scene, stars Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), Ashanti and Jadakiss.
