I still remember when it was all just an elaborate hoax Warner cooked up several years back (hence that last ML entry where the Nerdlucks are basically engaging in satirical commentary on sequelitis in modern cinema), so I guess somebody down the line at Warner decided the sequel should be for realsies.
Some of the original cast and crew from the first movie think this is a big mistake, and from what I've read, they've already replaced the director and producer for the sequel before it's even gone into production.
But, I digress. Because YouTube's search algorithms are rigged against smaller channels, I've been needing to know when I can release ML4 so I can get an idea of just how urgently I need to get it into production - and I was just getting ready to, even though I'm still auditioning replacement voice actors for a lady friend of mine who bowed out of the project, and like I said, there are going to be some exteriors in the film that I want to shoot out in the real world, but I don't want it to look so obviously fall or winter outside, so that much may have to be delayed.
But oh well. At least I can take my time.
