Linux stars in MS movie
http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3437625a28,00.html
Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox announced last week that Peter Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh will act as executive producers for the film, based on the best-selling game for Microsoft's Xbox gaming console.
Bungie, the Microsoft-owned development firm which created the game, confirmed that Peter Jackson's post-production firm Weta Digital would be involved in the movie.
Weta Digital uses more than 1000 dual-processor IBM blade servers running the Fedora version of the Red Hat distribution of the Linux to produce special effects for movies that have so far included Lord of the Rings and King Kong.
Lol, Fragdora lol.
This isn't anything new, The Matrix was made on Free BSD, and I don't know of many movies not Open Source anymore.
