Maybe Josh wanted to keep it all a secret?

It was mentioned quite a few times when they first anounced The Rum Diary (which is being funded by Film Engine) but info like that is really easy to miss since the articles don't dwell on that

found some info....

FilmEngine
In the ‘90s the traditional business philosophy age + experience = wisdom was demolished by young Internet upstarts. The new millennium finds the phenomenon spreading from Silicon Valley to Tinseltown. FilmEngine is the best example of this new trend. The LA-based film production company is a team of very young, very ambitious risk-takers who are able to find a blockbuster in a haystack of mediocre scripts. FW tracked them down for a how-to on the new Hollywood:

FilmEngine came to life in February 2001 when independent film and TV production company Roulette Entertainment, co-founded by Anthony Rhulen and actors Josh Hartnett and Elden Henson, joined forces with FilmEngine. FilmEngine, a production/financing company, was created by partners A.J. Dix, who’d supervised deals at New Line, and Bill Shively, a Florida entrepreneur. FilmEngine is credited on O, as well on Bender/Spinks’s upcoming release Cheats. The Butterfly Effect, starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart, is the first title produced under the FilmEngine model of acquiring, developing and fully financing in-house. New Line Cinema will release the film in February 2004.

" Wish you were here" is also from FilmEngine...
