What is your deal with Michael Arden? You’ve been the leading doomsayer for MHE on this board, moving the goalposts of its failure from it not even making it to opening, to it closing quickly, to it not winning awards, and now not recouping at all, always cloaked in language implying you have inside knowledge. You’ve got your sights now set on Lost Boys, and apparently his directing career as a whole. What is up with you?"
Nothing. Just what I hear from producer friends who saw the recent workshop. No inside knowledge just a culmination of what I hear. I hope Lost Boys is great. the workshop was difficult to grasp as the script has holes the massive design will fill in.
Excited about it as a fan of the movie - as is Arden. Great creative but not financially doing it for investors. I am not sure how that shakes out in the long run.
No one is coming for him or his career - only you oddly coming for me. I'll say nothing more on the subject to help protect your worries and your connection to said project and person."
A bizarre deflection- I don’t know Arden and have no connection to any of his productions, nor have I ever claimed or implied I did.
And you seriously cannot say you don’t have inside knowledge while citing inside knowledge in the same post.
