Rosarito takes another hit and this one has nothing to do with any of the reasons people speculate as the cause tourism seems to be so down recently. This one is the result on one man, Rich Ross, according to The Los Angeles Times on November 18, 2009.

Rich Ross, Walt Disney Studios' new movie chief has made the decision to pull the plug on the planned production of "Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" Disney's $150-million production that was to be shot at the old Fox Studios. With millions already spent hiring crews and prepping to build sets everything seemed on track until the then studio head  Dick Cook was replaced by Mr. Ross. Knowing the contention that accrued around the change of management makes this no real surprise though especially for a picture with such a large budget and high expectations.

If it's any consolation to the area this is a franchise that Disney is bound to cash in on someday and when it does there are not many facilities that can compete with old Fox in Rosarito, Thanks James Cameron.
