Miss Bloom? The doctor would
like to have a word with you.

Um, uh... uh...
I haven't had my MRI yet.

He wants to speak with you first.

Right this way.

Will, we just got off

Shanice got 'em to
agree to the new dates.

That's a good thing, right?

Financiers are pulling out.

They're not willing to take the risk

that we start shooting

I'm sorry, Rome.

Isaac will call you later.

If it makes you feel any better,

I think that dinosaur
movie's gonna get shut down.

Well, if... if Isaac can't be in it,

right, maybe we can
try to recast, right...

Find some new people who
are willing to finance.
