So nobody got payed?

Considering the excellent CGI and some nice mayhem involved (crashing hellicopters) are we to believe this was all done with a 10 million budget?

I know the actors are hardly even B-list ones, but what would be left to pay actors, crew etc?

IMHO:

This could have been fun with the excellent Bug-eyed monsters straight out of a thirties pulp magazine, but unfortunately this is one square flick. Come to think of it, it could have been hilarious!! The tacked-on ending is also no recommendation

From reading about it, the filming budget was $500k, so presumably the actors were paid with part of that. None of the actors are big names and there aren't many, so its not hard to believe that $500k was enough for their salaries plus filming costs.

Maybe he meant spayed and forgot the "S"?

Marion Cotillard, Keira Knightley and Olga Kurylenko are the most beautiful women on Earth.

Maybe none of the actors got splayed and then laid.

Aw come on, it's spelled paid. This is basic English.

Of course, English people spell 'spelled' as 'spelt'! :D
