An email dated 2/15/10 from Kathleen Woith, Lakeview Museum Administrator reads, " We continue our negotiations with IMAZ for a giant screen theatre, and the PRM is being designed for the IMAX format. We are still on track to open the first all digital IMAX in a museum. We will be the first designed specifically for the digital format. Our theater designers and we talk IMAX constantly as the building design evolves. Since the technology is changing every week, we are waiting to sign the official CONTRACT till we are certain we have the most up to the minute details.
With the digital picture, the screen will be about 42 feet tall by 70 feet tall??? And, of course, it will have the amazing IMAX sound system."
All kind of excuses coming now that say the public wasn't promised and IMAX theatre BEFORE and AFTER the referendum vote. What a confused state the PRM and the County are in.
The money, the IMAX and the Endowment needs to be s funded or this whole mess scrapped. And an Endowment proposed by the "movers and shakers" who supported this project to the tune of $640,000 or more in "public education" should step-up and fund the balance of this needed $12 million dollar Endowment.
After the news of nooooooo IMAX the Endowment must be increased to at least $16 million to be anywhere near safe.
