A movie shot in part in Saint John this summer is having more payroll issues, despite assurances by one of the film's producers last month that paycheques were on the way.

And some people say it could hurt the fledgling industry in the southern New Brunswick city in the future.

Nick Leblanc, a videographer in Saint John, says he still hasn't been paid for his work as a grip on the film Dominion. (CBC) , which depicts the final days of famed poet Dylan Thomas, who wrote, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, wrapped up filming in the southwestern New Brunswick city on June 23. ​Dominion

The film garnered a lot of attention because it features Welsh actor Rhys Ifans as Thomas; Hollywood star John Malkovich, who plays Thomas's physician, and boasts L.A. director Steven Bernstein, of Monster and The Waterboy fame.

Last month, dozens of people who played extras in the movie said they still hadn't been paid.

Now, production workers, like Nick Leblanc, are also coming forward with complaints.

Leblanc, a videographer who deals mostly in television production, says he was looking for experience in feature films and worked three "very long" days on Dominion as a grip, putting in about 13 hours each day.

It was "pretty exhausting," he said.

Three months later, Leblanc says he's still waiting to be compensated for his work.

He says he contacted the producers a few times looking for his money.

Dozens of actors who were extras during the movie shoot say they too have been told their cheques are in the mail. (CBC) "They came back with a few excuses saying cheques were going to come out Aug. 4, cheques were going to come out in a few weeks. So I stopped believing until I actually see the cheque come in," said Leblanc.

"It's really too bad, because a lot of professionals here in New Brunswick are moving, you know to Toronto, to Montreal, to Vancouver and it's hard to kinda survive in this industry and live in New Brunswick. So when something like this happens, it's really discouraging for the future," he said.

​"When something like this happens, it's really destroying that relationship with professionals here in New Brunswick."

Extra Rosalynd Mitchell says she's also still waiting.

"They said we would get them one to two weeks after the [news] story went originally and I haven't gotten them, that was several weeks ago," Mitchell said.

"I'm not terribly happy and I corresponded with another girl there that day and she hasn't received her cheques either. She said her and her friends don't seem very happy either."

Last month, producer Nolan MacDonald, blamed a clerical error.

He said an "accounting mishap" in Quebec was to blame and said the estimated 250 actors from across the region who worked on the film would be getting their cheques within a couple of weeks.

On Wednesday, MacDonald said a payroll company was sent a cheque two weeks ago.

"This issue should be resolved shortly," he said.

"We are surprised they have not received their cheques up to this point, but we have done everything on our end to ensure their prompt payment."
