After reportedly bleeding heavily on a pair of expensive misfires mounted by top filmmakers, a major production house is said to be in full damage-control mode. The financial sting has apparently forced the studio to rethink its spending habits, and the first project feeling the heat is a flashy 3D sci-fi venture fronted by an action-loving superstar, once envisioned as a lavish spectacle.
