Opus Off Again?

The penguin that started it all, Opus, was supposed to star in his own 3D animated film, but now it looks as though the project may be dead (again).



According to The Business of Animation Blog:


The rumor is that planned "Opus" has died once again. The comic strip based CG film has seen its share of ups and downs, and if you believe the rumor, it is down once again.

I'm not sure that this is such a bad thing, as the film had been picked up by the Weinstein Company, and I frankly wouldn't want them to destroy one of the most beloved characters in comic strip history with a 2nd rate animated film.

The Blog goes on to state that this is just a rumor, so it's very possible the film will still get made. I guess it just depends on if the Weinstein Company can find a crew to make it for less that $100 dollars in McDonald's gift certificates.
