Thank you for that WCH. In your opinion, are costs, fees paid to talent associated with the film - not just up front payments but payments after the films are completed and shown? In other words, the rumored $150 million paid to Jackson - would that be part of the cost?

You say the definition is rather lengthy. Were there any clauses or terms in there which would give New Line some wiggle room to expand in the direction they want to?
