This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Inferring from the producers' bios, I would say it's likely that the CGI
is the whole reason for doing the film, like a star vehicle is for showing
off the star. They thing in their favor is that the tech advances and
commoditizes so the longer it gets held up the cheaper it will become to
finish.
