"(someplace) great to go out to on a Friday night" (sic)

Very much needed in this area.

[ProjectMaximus]

I look forward to the big public unveiling of your plans. Do you have any expected time frame for this?

Still wondering if JNB can offer a time frame for their plans...

Mood: mildly hopeful.

[Jason]

Man, I saw a new post in this thread and thought something was happening. 

[copperfiend]

This is me not holding my breath.

[ProjectMaximus]

hehe...if I keep bumping this thread it will eventually happen right? right?

BUMP.

[fsujax]

yeah right. This is NEVER going to happen.

[copperfiend]

The funny thing is I actually was thinking about this thread this morning when I saw the moon.

Jacksonville Beach will rebuild its entire 1940s style boardwalk and roller coasters, etc. before this happens, but I like that it got bumped.. it allowed me to re-read it and have a good laugh.

Did some more digging, the Nashville project was seen as a replacement for the Grand Ole Oprey, Looks like Nashville had different ideas in fact they attacked the "California Outsiders".

In California near or in Hollywood, it is said they own the largest and most state-of-the-art studios in the Southland LA. One is located out toward Orange County, and another at Manhattan Beach, one of which is going into a phase two expansion.

Conclusion: They know how and are experienced at building sound stages that boggle the mind of the best producers.

August 12, 2007 -- THE life story of Lucky Luciano is finally coming to the big screen. Producer Bob DeBrino - who holds the movie option to "The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano," by the late Martin Gosch and former N.Y. Times reporter Richard Hammer - is pitching studios a film about the Sicilian-born mob boss who helped the U.S. win World War II from his prison cell by ensuring labor peace on the docks. The crime kingpin, who was freed and exiled in 1946, collaborated with the authors on the condition that the book not be published until a decade after his 1962 death. New interest in Luciano was sparked by Joe Isgro, a former music promoter who in 2000 was sentenced to 50 months in jail for extortion and loan- sharking. Isgro surfaced in Hollywood claiming he had the rights to the Luciano story. "Rights to what?" Hammer sputtered. "There are no rights." Luciano has no surviving relatives. Isgro created some confusion around Tinseltown, says DeBrino, but he's pressing on. Being Italian is not a prerequisite for the lead role - DeBrino's wish list includes George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.

Movies, Very weak in this area. But rest soundly that the Mooneyhan name is EVERYWHERE in Hollywood. There must be at least a dozen of them. They produced the movie "Where the Red Fern Grows", and also
a new flick on the life of "Lucky Luciano". Too early to tell how lucky the Luciano flick will be, while some praised the Red Fern. Overall the Red Fern was panned in the press ratings, not so much for plot or acting, but for being more of an Artsey "THE YEARLING" or "OLD YELLER" type movie. Good movie but wrong time in history.

Conclusion: While they know how to produce movies, their names also appear in a number of other flicks but more as a specialty contractor. They can do cenima, but that is aparently not their current main business.
Another of their credits was the rave reviewed DARK SHADOWS TV series.

Most studios gave up their own sound stages and back lots years ago, but they are still needed but more likely today, the space is rented on a per film basis. I think THIS is where the Mooneyhans are getting the bucks.

Great info Ock.  I'm still holding out for this proposal to rear its head again.  The impact of such a dream would be astronomical.
