While you're all hurting from your pocket, Scott Rosenberg is in NYC attending the premier of MIB 3, another property he likes to remind people is his and yet he had ZERO to do with.
He'll be raking in the big money off of that, putting it in his other company and laughing his ass off while the investors struggle to keep a float.
He wouldn't help you up if you fell over him. THIS is the guy (at this point I think the ONLY guy) running your company.
Here's one for the board....everyone find out what you can about Adam Post and his relationship to Platinum and Scott and your money. Chromium Man is a great place to start.
Fact 3 - We never heard that Atlantis Rising had fallen out of development until we heard it was being set up with Mark Canton. We never heard David Henrie wasn't starring in Weapon any more until it was announced that Scott was putting it in development himself. What else has died that we haven't heard anything about? Is Witchblade still going? Is Magdalena? Is Nightfall? Have we not heard any news on these projects because they are all dead? After hearing them tout Cowboys & Aliens as a hit, how come we haven't heard of other studios swooping in for more of their great content?
Witchblade, Magdalena are both Top Cow properties that have reverted back to Top Cow. I called there today and confirmed this. You don't know it because Scott doesn't want you to.
Nightfall is as dead as everything else. When was the last announcement made? The last I could find was almost three years ago and a search for Nightfall and Platinum Studios on google provide only results from Platinum's own website and this one.
As for the Weapon, and Scott taking it into pre-production himself, that's the most vauge statement I've ever heard. Who's producing? Where's the money coming from? Who is involved creatively? Who's paying them?
I know there are new debts that popped up because I have friends in the graphic design and animation world that have complained recently about being stiffed on money for several Cowboys and Aliens related animation projects. I've can't find any info about an animated Cowboys and Aliens in development (but I did find this which is way better than the movie imho: http://www.veesh.com/productions/animated-movies/Cowboys-and-Aliens) so maybe this is something Scott is working on in secret. If that's the case I think he's done too little too late on that front. Does anyone care about Cowboys and Aliens after that dismal movie? I don't. certainly my kids don't give a shit about a cartoon version of a movie they slept through.
It's all my opinion based on stories i've heard and some things I've witnessed with my own eyes.
If Scott has a problem with anything I've said he can find me on here directly and I'll gladly discuss my feelings with him.
In the meantime I have an opinion of the man, formed from experience, and I'm expressing that opinion to hopefully inform people of what they don't get to see in BS press releases and fake interviews.
Take it with a grain of salt if you like. But be careful because a wolf in sheeps skin has a very easy time of hiding in plain site.
First off a WARNING to new BUYERS: pretty soon, and they WON'T do a press release about this, this entire PUBLIC COMPANY will be run out of Scott's (post-divorce) Apartment....so yeah....
Now...as for Canton, I cannot speak for the man but they way I understand it is that they are very close friends. Canton, humors Scott...like when your kid brother asks if we can play outfield in the big-kids game....you say yes but know he'll never do anything to help or hurt the game.
Scott is a moron. That's not fair. Scott is a very good, devious business man. He has NOT A SINGLE CREATIVE BONE IN HIS BODY. He has ZERO moral compass. He surrounds himself with talented people (but only talented people he can control/own) and then proceeds to force his bad ideas on them and take credit for their good ones.
The library, in truth, ISN'T worth anything. This is how the whole Platinum scam works...they make it seem like all those characters are worth a damn to people that really know nothing of comics or that world when the truth is they are worth shit. The stories are all derivative of something else that already exists but was done better elsewhere. The designs and characters are all cheesy and NOTHING that comes out of Platinum is respected by the comic-community at large. So what does that leave? Other, non-informed, Hollywood-types who think they're optioning some AMAZING COMIC when in fact what they are getting is half-baked idea and some cover art.
Hope that helps answer some questions and save some people some losses.
5) this company has NO REVENUE stream...they have 4-5 employees and they are $50 MILLION IN THE RED....how can that be you ask?? Because they CEO IS STEALING ALL THE MONEY!!!!!!!
Truth told....there are even less employees than that.
Not angry at all just concerned. I do have info from the inside from a few sources and I can tell you without question Scott could give a shit about investors...or anyone, frankly, but himself.
The office has about 3 people working in it from my sources.
I did some work for them years ago and never got paid (surprise surprise) but that's long in the past, recently I've been inside those walls and seen with my own eyes the back stock they hold. I've also seen pictures of their storage units and they are wall to wall boxes of unsold comics. I've got friends there and have heard many stories that are disgusting and sad for investors.
Since Scott will never let certain details come to light and I have no stock or intent to trade stock, I'm just a person looking to shed some light on a purposefully vague company who continues to release statements that are exaggerations at best and flat out lies at worst.
As for watching my inside info....I do not plan on any kind of trading at all and own no stock in said company....just a person with some knowledge. Take it with a grain of salt, consider it all heresy and rumor...but also understand, I've nothing to gain my spilling my beans except trying to save any new "suckers" from wasting their hard earned $$ on this fake company.
I guess though, since you seem to think it might be a problem, I'll disappear back into the night.
PFFFT. Sold out comic? What about the thousands of copies sitting in storage or in the Platinum offices?
Who's making this movie exactly? Cause this looks like an announcement about nothing other than that Scott would like this to be a real movie....which is isn't and won't ever be.
Of course he needs money again....he's burning a ton of it in his divorce....what he doesn't lose to lawyers he'll lose to his ex-wife who's going for the jugular.
This whole company is falling to shambles. Call them and ask them about the money they waste on following Scott's wild ideas that his staff informs him will go no where.
Or maybe ask about the plan to ditch the IP to a new company and get all new investors and then turn platinum into a "production company" who licences its IP's from the new company....
