  He wasn’t, the studio was purchased in 2022 and Pegf and Frost were to step away from management as part of the deal.

  Then the new owners shut the studio down 3 years later.

  Sony likely did this as a way of obtaining talented workers and limiting potential competitors.

      Yeah the last film they made was Slaughterhouse Rulez which didn’t perform well, after that they made 2 television shows.
