Have we heard anything front Illfonic or Trachtenberg? Any posts? Good post Necronoir I'd have to think Disney is advising Dan to not say a word about the situation. He hasn't posted a thing since his tweet about scouting. I believe it was the very next day the news about the lawsuit came out. I'm curious though, are they still working through pre-production until May 27th or until an injunction, or have they halted already? That would be a bit telling right there. If they've currently stopped working, the assumption would be Disney feels they might be stopped anyway, so why waste money.

Lots of staff, locations, contractors, etc would potentially still require payment during the downtime, on top of then paying even more when it presumably starts up again. Might be less lost simply by forging ahead, even if it does end up cancelled.
Quote from: Proteus on Apr 20, 2021, 04:14:15 PMAnother thing I'm curious about: if an injunction is passed and the date of termination is considered not valid pushing the next date to 2022, does that injunction remain is or is voided?

Say the court finds the April 17th date is not really the valid date, and say June 14, 2022 is really the true termination date, what good is that extra time if the ruling is made *random guess* by December 2021?Hey all, Disney was right! They do have the copyright until June 2022! But sorry Disney, you only have 6 months to make a movie now!
Quote from: Proteus on Apr 20, 2021, 04:51:40 PMCorrect me if I'm wrong, but a preliminary injunction can be enacted prior to the hearing date, right? So from now until 27th the court could order that injunction? But if nothing is passed along prior to the hearing, that has to feel like SOME glimmer of hope. I'm only speculating because of the brothers really didn't want this new film to move forward, they would have already passed the injunction. Unless it already has been and we aren't privy to it, which is why you're getting a cryptic tweet from Kyle and no word from Dan. All speculative of course. This stuff drives me insane! Tough time to be a fan right now. Ugh.

Tough time to be a fan right now. Ugh.It says May 27th is just a Motion Hearing for the Preliminary Injunction, allowing legal council on both sides to prepare to make their case for or against. Motion Hearing [12] MOTION for Preliminary Injunction set for 5/27/2021 at 9:30 AM in San Francisco – Videoconference Only before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler. This proceeding will be held via a Zoom webinar.So I believe it is safe to assume it won't occur before this date. I don't believe the Judge could/would make such an order without hearing from both sides.The actual trial gets scheduled sometime afterwards.
Quote from: Local Trouble on Apr 20, 2021, 10:45:01 AMHas anyone considered the possibility that the Thomas brothers aren't interested in the money? Maybe they're just using this as leverage to wrest a settlement from Disney that includes a legally binding pledge to never use ADI's crabator designs ever again.I suspect VM is their silent partner in this whole affair.
