Although very upsetting, I think it's a matter of the studio trimming some fat on a project that had been languishing in pre-production for years. It was going nowhere. Barry comes in and makes some drastic changes, but apparently it wasn't enough for the studio to keep this project going. They probably did the right thing, although with some sacrifices.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-43764012660634371602008-12-23T03:02:00.000-05:002008-12-23T03:02:00.000-05:00Really sad news.Really sad news.Chris Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973092400487873824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-50082497029190571982008-12-19T09:39:00.000-05:002008-12-19T09:39:00.000-05:00Comment 2) Merry Christmas to all.Comment 2) Merry Christmas to all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-58497575798833304192008-12-19T09:38:00.000-05:002008-12-19T09:38:00.000-05:00Comment 1) My opinion, Ziggy, is that there probab...Comment 1) My opinion, Ziggy, is that there probably aren't THAT many screwball corporate executives in Hollywood that actually want to set up an animation studio (not enough for all 50 states, anyway).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-39375970144121599832008-12-18T12:47:00.000-05:002008-12-18T12:47:00.000-05:00is there a studio making a cgi feature in every st...is there a studio making a cgi feature in every state or something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-66897918162918772022008-12-18T06:59:00.000-05:002008-12-18T06:59:00.000-05:00I have friends there, too, David.I have friends there, too, David.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-57339998137896692612008-12-17T22:58:00.000-05:002008-12-17T22:58:00.000-05:00Oh, gosh ... not good.:-( I have friends who moved...Oh, gosh ... not good.<BR/><BR/>:-( <BR/><BR/>I have friends who moved up there to work on it .<BR/><BR/>That's disheartening.David https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728364431363413760noreply@blogger.com
