Working For The Man
Due to big time box office losses, Hollywood Studios are cutting the salaries of high profile stars and turning off the greenlight on big budget projects. For example, Justin Timberlake's new movie Edison has been straight to video...ouch! Studio's say the pay cut is due to the fact that out of the ten highest grossing movies of last year, only three had recognizable names in them. In addition, several of the Oscar nominees were relative light weights such as Phillip Seymour and Heath Ledger. Two Jim Carrey films have been shut down as well as a Denzell Washington project due to overblown budgets. And nary a word is being spoken about when production will begin on the The Bell Witch starring Reese Witherspoon, leaving many to wonder if it will even be made at all.

These are scary times folks. Buckle up.

LOL @ T!

Hmm...these are interesting information Kim. Well, if they would make more carton/animation films, we'll still see them.

But then, that's just us! LOL!

Poor stars! I am crying big tears for them. Imagine having to live on only a few million a movie.

Why pay $8.75 per person to see a movie on the big screen. When in two months the whole family can watch for $3.99 on the couch.

I did hear last week our favorite man TC made 67 millon last year. Damn it's a tuff life!
