Trouble in Portland's Tinseltown: Disembodied Disemboweled?

Looks like the credit crunch is taking its toll on Portland's film industry.

Disembodied, a supernatural thriller directed by former soap star Brett Donowho (pictured above; he used to be in Port Charles) was to begin shooting in September in the Portland vicinity.

It would have been the second time Donowho has done a Portland-based project (in 2005, he produced the feel-good drama The Music Within).

But three sources familiar with the project tell WW that production either is being suspended or already has been suspended, for reasons connected to the financing. WW was unable to obtain confirmation or comment from the production office after several attempts, though an assistant assured us a production representative would contact us by the end of Friday. We'll update this post with any comment or further details.
