So I did some math and Jupiter's Legacy costs more per episode than the Lord of the Rings show. 25 million an episode for Jupiter whereas Lord clocks in at around 23 million an episode. This actually makes the half a billion Lord show seem not as insane.
It seems unbelievable that they spent that kind of money on a show with such poor production values. Seriously, how do you spend 200 million an episode and not pay attention to little details like makeup or the glaringly obvious cinematography gaffs???
That may be the reason it got cancelled. The people in charge may have said we need a lot better looking product for our investment. Honestly, I had chalked up that stuff to low budget, made for TV issues. I had no idea what kind of crazy budget they'd had; never would have imagined such a number from looking at the show.
