    New? That article was from 2002. In fact I remembered reading here on Hit & Run before I even saw the dateline.

    Also this line "outsourcing film production is the key to a happy ending for Hollywood. " was wonderfully unintentionally(?) funny.

    Hey! How dare he call my home city of Adelaide a "backwater". Has he ever been there? 🙂 🙂 I'm sure the people of South Australia will happily take the studio's money though....

    The date says '02, but I suspect it's just a mistake (not unexpected under this byline). Other errors include misspelling of LA Times reporter Michael Hiltzik name as "Hizlik."

    Thanks for the heads up. Corrections are made.
