On January 14, Disney renegotiated with Walden Media to produce the movie after coming to an agreement on the budget of the film.
I haven’t read that anywhere else, and when there’s no citation of the source, that’s where wikipedia falls short.
Take this news with a grain of salt until it is verified by a Press Release from either Disney or Walden Media. We’ll try to do some investigations of our own to see what we can dig up, in the meantime. It could be that this is a hoax.
UPDATE: A registered editor of Wikipedia has removed the statement. No citation came about, and the person that posted it was probably confusing this with Watchmen, where 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers came to terms regarding the release of Watchmen.
