Planet of the Apes: Writers still struggling over ending to film -- even now, five weeks after release. 7. Lord of the Rings: Gandalf constantly trying to keep Gollum from humping leg. 6. Disease backward of outbreak odd to due delayed production: Memento. 5. Hamlet: Demanding better pay, monkeys #16743 through #29238 went on strike for three weeks. 4. Star Wars, Episode II: Thirty takes per scene demanded by obsessive perfectionist Jar-Jar Binks. 3. Traffic 2: Production on hold because Michael Douglas's co-star/future wife hasn't been born yet. 2. Toy Story 3: Just as he lost all that weight for his part in "Castaway", Tom Hanks insists he must become a cloth puppet, delaying production indefinitely. and the Number 1 Cause of a Movie Delay... 1.
