Miss Fisher Kickstarter Fully Funds Movie In 48 Hours, But Why Did It Come To This?

Last month, we reported that Every Cloud Productions had everything in place for going ahead with a Miss Fisher movie, entitled Miss Fisher & The Crypt of Tears, to start filming in the late fall. All that was left was a matter of financing, which, considering how popular the TV show was, they were hoping to see come from Australia's ABC, who financed and aired the first three seasons. But apparently there was some sort of snag that was hit, either delays, refusals, or doubts that there was a sufficient fanbase to support the making of a film, let alone a trilogy of them.
