In the midst of the torrent of criticism against Johnny Depp, one piece of news in the media didn't attract much attention.
Anna Purna Pictures, less than three years after its establishment, declared bankruptcy.
Owing to overdue bank loans, the company's assets were seized by Bank of America, among which the most valuable were the rights to several films.
There were three completed films, including the released "Lone Ranger", "Transcendence," and "The Seventh Son", which couldn't find a proper distributor.
The one undergoing post-production was "Zero Dark Thirty," directed by Catherinen Bigelow.
In addition, the part of the bank loan involving Megan Ellison herself amounted to 250 million US Dollars.
For ordinary people, even for general multimillionaires, it would be exceedingly difficult to repay this amount.
Megan Ellison had no such capability either.
