It does have a nice ring to it, eh?

As I said at CA- The majority of that info could come from Larson's Con appearance in England.

The studio and dollar amount I've no clue though.

I'm sure its just rumor mill stuff, but that budget estimate is probably pretty accurate to what we could expect barring DeSanto weighing in with the success of Tranformers under his belt.

$40 million puts it on par with Serenity's budget. Low budget no doubt, but without a heavy hitter involved, about what we should expect.

Low budget, yes. But with no major $5-20million pricetag "stars" involved, you can do more with a lesser budget.

I clicked on the dude's email as it made me curious as well. I'll let you know if I get an answer. If he's basing it only on rumor or Larson's talk, Tom DeSanto's said nearly as much about the same property. Though I wouldn't want him hexed with a mention on a rumormill site.

Interesting.

I spoke to Tom and he was not aware of any news.

News to me, I think this might be based upon the stuff Glen spoke about in London months ago. But i am not sure.
