Really? this is old new. Do you know of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within? It was the most expensive CGI movie of its time. It bombed big time. Squaresoft was out a lot of money and in a pending merger. When Enix found out about financial crisis Squaresoft was in they nearly backed out of the merger. Sony actually purchased stock to help Squaresoft stay afloat. |
That wasn't one of those stories that stuck with me, apparently. It also happened quite a while ago. I wasn't nearly as into game stories like that as I am these days. I remember that movie bombing hard but I had no idea that he was responsible for it. I knew Sony had purchased stock in the company because they were having trouble but I also had no idea that it delayed the merger. Damn. He doesn't seem to have done much worth noting since then. Made a new studio, created some decent but forgettable titles and is now apparently making a second studio.
