Disney has decide to close the studio used to create Jim Carrey’s Scrooge in last year’s “A Christmas Carol”. The film was a disappointment at the box office and so the studio, looking to save money, has announced that the studio, near San Francisco, will be shut-down.
The studio was built by ImageMovers Digital, a company co-founded by “A Christmas Carol” director Robert Zemeckis. I got to see how the motion-capture process works when I visited the “A Christmas Carol” touring train last fall. It’s too bad that the studio will be closing.
However, Zemeckis and his crew will be allowed to finish the film they’re working on now, “Mars Needs Moms”, which is schedule to be released next March.
