Direct link to the video. Spoiler warning(?) because this seems to spoil the entire movie that might never come out.

What could have been... I still have some hope that maybe some day this movie can move forward, and every year or so I check in to see if there is any news on it, but unfortunately not much has happened. The sizzle reel looks amazing. Why can't another publisher come along and fund the movie?

Schwarzenegger could fund it without breaking a sweat if he wanted to.

The issue is both the lack of money AND the contracts related to it.

If a rando donated the money? The company that is allegedly on the hook for not doing so would still expect their cut of the pie and it would just be a different set of lawsuits holding everything up.

I bet enough Schwarzenegger money would instantly make all that go away.

  1. That is potentially a LOT of money if revenue sharing was involved (and it generally is)
  2. The actual creators may actively not want a deal where the investors that allegedly screwed them over make massive bank for it

Fair point on #2
