Mooneyhan Video Presentation on 4 development projects

The first and second look very possible and would be a great spearhead bringing national level film-making back to the area. Moonwalk Plaza looks very good.

Movieland? I'd be shocked if they could pull that off here. Moonwalk City would be great for dowtown, but we'll see on that one. Maybe it would spur more Skyway development though.

w0w.  Talk about auspicious.  To land something of that magnitude here would be all sorts of phenomenal.  My first question is: where the heck would he put it?  Skyway references in the presentation would suggest somewhere in the vicinity of downtown?  Massive!

[thelakelander]

It also makes it highly questionable.  For example, the downtown site is the exact location of the Bay Street Station project that is proposed by Carlton Jones.  The beaches also have a 35ft height limit, so the concepts shown would need to be revised.

[Doctor_K]

Are the two concepts mutually exclusive?  Could not the two co-exist theoretically?

[thelakelander]

No they can't co-exist, at least according to what each group is proposing and the amount of land they take up.  The Bay Street guys recently purchased that site, so I'm in belief that if a project is to move forward on that property, it will most likely be theirs.

Lake didn't you recently post that the Bay street station developer expressed he would be selling some of that property to a hotel and entertainment development.  Wish I could remember where I saw that.

[thelakelander]

Yes, they have a plan that includes two highrise hotels.  However, they don't plan to own and manage them.  Under their plan, a hotel operator would take over the hotels.  Under Mooneyhan's plans, their development takes up the entire site.

Our Purpose:

It is the purpose of the Mooneyhan Entertainment Group to provide the entertainment industry with multi-entertainment companies and complexes. These companies and complexes relate to the Motion Picture, Television, Music Recording, and Music Publishing industries. In addition we will create public venues whose themes will encompass the entire world of entertainment. We have chosen the Jacksonville area because of the many elements that it has conducive to film and television production and tourism. In the early 1900's, Jacksonville was the birthplace of the motion picture industry and had the largest amusement theme park in the world at Jacksonville Beach. It is only fitting that both industries come back to this extremely progressive city.


Our Organization:

Mooneyhan Entertainment Group is the parent company of various entertainment companies with each in charge of their respective areas the entertainment business. The names of these companies are as follows:


Mooneyhan Motion Pictures --- Mooneyhan Films --- Mooneyhan Music --- Mooneyhan Television

Mooneyhan Film Studios --- Asillian Moon Pictures --- Mooneyhan Recording Studios

Mooneyhan Television Studios --- Mooneyhan Attractions --- Theme Park/Moon Walk Division

The companies under the parent company shall have officers in each with a complete staff of employees to make up the companies. The total amount of employees for all organizations and associated departments at the time of full operational status will be approximately 12,000 employees.

Somebody write these guys a check.

They used Google Sketchup for their renderings and fly-bys...  That's what I use!


I take it they've removed the older renderings that place the downtown complex on the same site as Bay Street Station.  Anyone have anything more on them?

[Jason]

Alrighty, here are some renderings.  I see the skyway now...

This one is on the same site as the Bay Street Station proposal...

Is Bay Street Station even "alive" at this point?

If Carter is still active in that area, they should team up.

I swear I'm not a pessimist but I 'm not sold on this company. Whether they're genuine big-dreamers who are lost in a fantasy or they are trying to con the city out of something somehow, I'm not sure. But I just don't trust 'em. I mean, could they not have gotten any better lighting for this huge presentation? Better quality for the brief, one-minute of actual video?

Something's just not right. I hope I'm wrong.

Phase I and II look viable.

Film-making is a very speculative business. Beyond a home-base studio (Phase I), all is probably dependant on making successful films there.

As of last week, it was alive.  The developer discussed it at a recent TOD presentation.  While I'm skeptical that it will break ground anytime soon, it looks to be more solid then Mooneyhan's proposal for that site.

I wonder what happened to their plans in Nashville?  It looked like a go a while back.
