Well, that stinks. I was looking forward to this one. I'm confused why they did not attach an official statement regarding their decision. That's a very good and very valid point. At this point? I'm not too sure about why anyone does anything anymore. But, in the end? I'm glad it was about naming issues. Savvy? And welcome to the new JDR server!

Thank you Karen! I had an account long ago that disappeared. I tried my old username...said it didn't exist so I just created a new one.
It's just I feel the press are having a field day with this one and they should have issued a statement.

I agree, some sort of statement could actually be helpful!
About your user name. This is a completely new server and forum provider. We had to start over from scratch when the old Invision/Zetaboards company was sold to TapaTalk. The old forum people didn't offer the chance to buy the database, so what old info that's here? My author Q&As and interviews and a bit more, are here because I did a manual copy and paste.
14 years of messages and info are gone. But we're still around!
Thanks for joining in! Happy to have an old friend find us!

Thanks for posting that! Seems like there's so much going on around that film, with that studio. Wonder if we'll ever know the truth? Wonder if it's lots of things going wrong?

Good grief!! It's like a black cloud following Johnny the last several months. I wonder if it's possible for another studio to take the films over? I have no idea how that would all work, but boy, films that are set to go are now in limbo....

Seems like the film is technically an "asset" of the company. Wonder if it would/could be sold for release by another company?

Disturbing news for Depp fans maybe they could recoup money selling to cable? Anne r I think so Anne! OR it could actually get a theatrical release with a company with enough money to promote it!

Certainly interesting article! At this point everyone's pointing fingers at each other & I find it hard to know who to believe. This was a tremendous scandal when it occurred in LA, & ended up causing the shutdown of the LAPD Gang division--whether for the better or worse is debatable. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but I don't believe the LAPD would influence the release of a movie after it was already completed. If anything, they would have worked to prevent it from being made from the start. I do see the side of an unresolved law suit coming alive if the film was released, but remember that the person writing the book that the film was based on, was controversial from the start. It is something to follow though for sure, so thanks for posting the link...

Thanks Deppoholic!
I agree Donna, who do we believe? So many things going on, fingers being pointed, stories being told.
It's almost as if the film itself is being "gaslighted" - that it's being sabotaged from within?

I think it's a combination of things. The money problem is definitely an issue, and they're using Johnny as a scapegoat.
