doesn't sound like a studio issue at all and everything to do with paul's vision.

and hey, there's always Thor.

This is bleak news indeed, especially as The Wrap is reporting that the funding may have been pulled too.

I suppose it's possible that the funding from River Road fell through as a direct result of the creative issues during rehearsal, but it doesn't bode well for the future of film.

Even if PTA can resolve the casting/performance/whatever problems, who's to say anyone will be waiting in the wings with a bucket of cash?

My prediction: PTA will put it on the backburner and, in a decade or so's time, a hot new A-list young actor will want to be taken seriously and so he'll attach himself to the script and it'll eventually get made.

So should I read the script now or not?

At least the Scientologists didn't murder PTA, let's be thankful of that.  They just had his movie postponed indefinitely.

He didn't hate Affleck. They made one of the funniest SNL skits I've seen together.

AAAAAAAAAH, this sucks

ah sorru

So within a week of getting this news I broke down and read the script.

When it's amazing, it's really amazing. And when it's not, it's because it's unfinished. I can't wait to see the movie.
