Edit- Nevermind I guess I shoulda read the article first. He'd better do a damn good job! Sucks that Citizen Seige went under; looks like more years of just waiting..

It'll be a while until we find out exactly what Oddworld's up to now. But I do know it won't be the "Citizen Siege" animated movie that it was previously working on with Vanguard Entertainment. McKenna told me there were "creative differences" and the rights are reverting back to Oddworld.
He's making an assumption here. Back in April when I interviewed Lorne, he hinted that things weren't going well with Vanguard but he was still optimistic about the Citizen Seige as a project.

That was definitely...surprising, and feels a bit weird to me as I've always equated Lorne with everything that has to do with Oddworld. And I was quite looking forward to Citizen Siege, too, for lack of anything Oddworld-based. But I guess Lorne did what was best for the company, and it's good to know that they're not giving up.
1) CEO (ie Sherry) outranks President
2) Lorne is still remaining in charge of the creative side of things
Reading between the lines, Larry left Brash now that the company is on the skids and has joined Oddworld to do pretty much what he did in the past - sell the brand to important people like studios and publishers.

Anyway as long as Lorne stays creative director and sherry CEO I'm happy. They struggled hard enough in the past to keep their IP's so I guess we shouldn't worry this time.
Oddworld on Steam, Jeff Braun working with Lanning on a new Oddworld game and now this, all in the space of a year? A coincidence? Methinks Oddworld are on there way back up.

"creative differences" ... what the heck...?
well... I'll keep my fingers crossed for Oddworld, though I'm a little sad about citigen siege, I was really looking forward to it *sigh* ^^

Another scrapped project. That's a real shame. I hope they don't give up on the Oddworld Movie.
Oh fer crying out loud, peoples! TELL ME where in that article it says that Lorne and Sherry are not going to continue to try making Citizen Seige?

Now I'm really worried about the future of Oddworld (in more than one way)...even so, its nice to know that Lorne can now concentrate wholly on creating the Oddness we all love so much, and have some pressure taken off his back.
Let's be honest, though. It will never see the light of day. And that is not a bad thing. If they make more Oddworld games I wll be pleased. Otherwise....eh.
Whaaaaa.... ok cool... citizen siege aaaand ...even a new OW title ...of course it must see the light of day! both of them !
thank you for saving my happiness! *unstoppable joy* OMG xD
Well good : ) I hope they don't run into any more dramatic complications (although this seems unavoidable...)
More dramatic complications? Shriek!!! I'm tired of dramatic complications! Even so, its nice to know that despite everything that's happened to Oddworld, they're still working on Citizen Siege and the unknown Oddworld universe title.
Hmmm, this seems like an interesting turn of events. But I'm glad that Lorne and Sherry are still there at the top. This'll probably give Lorne more time to flesh out all his creative demons.
Larry Shapiro becomes president of Oddworld
"creative differences" ... what the heck...? 
hehehe xD
