    Whomever is financing this movie is not going to finance whatever projects you’re talking about.

    Yes they are. They have a finite amount of money and aren’t sitting around for months waiting for the perfect movie to fund.

      The type of investors who invest speculatively in the money grab that this move is aren’t the types that invest into heartfelt projects which may or may not bring any money. There’s a reason why the fellowship had a budget of $94 million and an unexpected journey had between $200 and $315 million depending on source.
