Digital Domain is known in Australia as the American VFX company which was very nearly subsidised to set up in Sydney by the state government. Since then, the company story is a wonderfully twisted saga of crackpot theories and desperate recovery.
We covered previous acts in the epic here, but the last year and a half has added some more boggling twists.
Digital Domain was co-created by James Cameron but he was long gone by the time it fell into the hands of John Textor, with a horrible plan to run it from Florida using student labour. That came apart pretty solidly, leaving others to retrieve the valuable pos-production studios in Los Angeles and Vancouver.
