Disney shuts down production on The Lone Ranger over budget concerns even though it seems like a sure thing. Have we finally hit a ceiling on production costs?

Movie production (TV too) is going carbon-neutral, offsetting their pollution with carbon credits. Movie distribution is going carbon-neutral, turning to high-speed data transfers instead of shipping heavy film reels around the planet. Cinemas themselves are going carbon-neutral, turning to solar power and green construction material. This one is accidental, but still: The Icelandic volcano ash … more…
