Little is known about the burueacratic ins-and-outs of why this happened, but considering the money that was being pumped into the project, it's definitely pretty shocking to hear it having such troubles.

Did someone just forget to cash a cheque or carry a decimal point or something? Either way, closing an in-production movie down for even just one day comes at massive expense, but four? Yikes.
