If you think it's cool that they do that, just remember that they probably get paid more for doing a single film than your whole immediate family does in their lifetime.
They can. But fucking around and wasting tons of other people's money is a dick move when your paycheck is on par with whole families life earnings. Unpopular opinion though it may be, but they could probably manage to get the job done and have fun at the same time.
Here's the thing, the only people they are "putting out" is the director and the producers if they happen to be on the set. Everyone else, the entirety of the staff are all hourly. They don't give a flying fuck how long it takes.
Sure, have words with them if it's warranted, you are trying to make a film... but you only have your casting director to blame. If you wanted film set free of shenanigans and filming to run smoothly, ONE, you're a soulless maniac with unrealistic expectations, TWO, you shouldn't have cast Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal in the same film.
And as far as the salary is concerned, that's not really payment for the film. Not really. It's compensation for being a huge star and losing your private life entirely. The paparazzi, the junkets, well meaning people constantly approaching you on the street and so on.
