ESC Entertainment Cuts Crews after loosing Superman 5 Contract!

Posted by:

ESC Entertainment has lost out on the Superman 5 Remake and as such is now preparing to lay off the majority of their staff.

ESC Entertainment is the visual effects facility behind Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Matrix Reloaded," "The Matrix Revolutions" and the recent "Catwoman," is going on hiatus and reducing its staff to a skeletal level. ESC president Thomas Davila notified employees of the pending layoffs in a company e-mail, a copy of which was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

In the e-mail, Davila attributed the downsizing to the company's failure to win the visual effects work on the upcoming Superman film, which Bryan Singer has just come on board to direct.

"I am sorry to have to inform you that ESC has been advised it will not be awarded work on the Superman project, Obviously, this is very disappointing as Superman would have meant a substantial amount of work that would have kept ESC busy into 2006."

Davila said that there are no other projects in the ESC pipeline that will allow the company to continue operating.
