Continuity and budget issues seemed to have plagued the filming, and several of the giant worm props burnt to the ground during filming, but Turkish television representatives are upbeat about the release of the blockbuster event!
The Turkish Television CEO, quoted here, stated, "I dunno...I don't think anyone has Hi-Def here anyway?"
Seriously though, Turkey is doing pretty alright. Demographically they're doing great, they have become a serious arms manufacturer/exporter, as well as a considerable geopolitical player.
