ThinkFilm Reloaded
So... after all the sturm und drang, money changes everything... again.
Just as it seemed that ThinkFilm was about to be no more and many were accounting for the bills that would never get paid, here comes $150 million from overseas. Expect the company to low-key it, trying to avoid a rush on their bank-not-ruptcy. But word of anticipated movies that are moving back onto the production schedule, finished movies no longer being sold off, and everything actually being distributed should break shortly.
I have no idea how the various projects that were having trouble in production will be affected. But $150 million is plenty to keep the company in business for at least the next year.
Welcome back. Happy for ya.

Is it true that Spielberg is walking Melrose Ave with a paper cup asking for $1b? Has he not seen Iron Man? Military supplies is where the money is... he should be over in Baghdad trying to win some contracts... they'd pay twice the amount easy.

Odd fact of the day - ThinkFilm's Then She Found Me has been a surprise hit down here. Maybe Australia is filled with a lot of closet Helen Hunt fans.

Who or what is the source of this windfall?

Yes it would be nice if you could provide a source/link when you post something like this so we don't have to go searching for it. Is it so hard?

I am the source/link, champura.
I just don't feel the need to write "EXCLUSIVE" everytime I break news in here.
And when it is from a different source, it is almost always linked or on MCN front page.
