I don't think the movie made enough money for them to justify making another. Those CG movies are extremely expensive to make. The games cost less and they sell millions of copies for $50, rather than $5-$10 movie ticket price. IMO the movie was poorly written anyway, so they're better off sticking to games.

Are they the people that did Final Fantasy? (I saw some FF-esque animation in the preview). If so, that sucks that they shut down! I thought there was a sequel coming.
Yeah, Square did the movie -- they also do all the FF video games. It was a couple months after FF was released that they said they would be shutting down. Dunno the exact reasons, but sadly they did. The company is still around, they're still making video games.. just no more movies from them. --- Joe Topjian email: joe@portsys.net web: http://terrarum.net/joe _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
