Artisan Entertainment

Yeah.

And, like, there's just so much of, like, misinformation that was put out there intentionally to be able to drive the, the fact that this is a, that this is, you know, actual found footage, as opposed to a, a produced movie that was then, you know, purchased by Artisan Entertainment and then, and then, you know, sold to us.

I think it's, it's brilliant from the, the, the creators, uh, to be able to, to create this movie, and the way that they did it with, I mean, you know, uh, to have no-name actors.

And I- it's a, it's a thing that I think we're gonna have a little bit of problem when we get to the, uh, the recasting bit-

Basically down to legal issues.

Back in 2000, Artisan Entertainment, which later became Lionsgate, where they made the Punisher movie with Thomas Jane, they had gotten the rights to finance and produce the Captain America movie.

But there was a lawsuit between Marvel and Joe Simon, who I believe was one of the co-creators of Captain America back in the 40s.

And so that kind of held things up for a couple of years.

I'm all about that one.

Iron Fist, and, uh, a Captain America movie optioned by Artisan Entertainment to be made for $20 million each.

But Buckley wasn't interested in super guys.

Instead he asked, "Are there any chick superheroes? I could get into that." That's bordering on damage control.
