Sir Michael Caine was accidentally locked in his dressing room attic while taking a nap on the set of his new film, it was reported.

The Italian Job actor, 79, found himself trapped after waking up to find the film crew had left for the day and locked the door, believing he was in his trailer.
Sir Michael was only freed the following morning when a carpenter came to collect his tools from the disused theatre in New Orleans in the US.
He had been unable to call for help because his mobile phone was in his trailer, and he was left in darkness in the attic room, a source told theDaily Mirror.
“It had been a long day of filming and Michael decided to slip upstairs to a makeshift dressing area and catch 40 winks,” an insider said.
“Unfortunately he was asleep for some time and failed to hear directors calling a wrap.”

It has something to do with Hurricane Katrina.

Pretty common for men in their late 70′s.
Imagine the hijinks we’d get with a President Ron Paul.

Oh gah. So the dressing room wasn’t to his liking for a quick nap? I thought these stars had personal trained monkeys to follow them around and attend to their needs. *rolls eyes*

“…new crime thriller Now You See Me with Morgan Freeman ….”
Well another movie that I will refuse to watch (pay or for free).
I will bet the movie will have something mentioned about Hurricane Katrina and how the evil BOOOOSH let the city drown.

I recall reading an article that said “nap time” is a factor in the Whole Life System formula – i.e. babies and old people nap a lot. Sir Michael had better watch out or they might turn him into Soylent Green:

I wouldn’t assume the movie is about Hurricane Katrina. A lot of films are made in New Orleans because they have very low taxes (and possibly incentives?) for filming there. A friend of mine in the movie business once said to me: “YOu want to see movie studios? You can take tours in Hollywood. You want to see movies being made? Visit Canada.” California taxes Hollywood out of Hollywood.
