He didn't seem to upset about it. He had established business, home, and family. He couldn't just pack up and go who knew where for 6 months.
I know another chap in Boston who is a
major Batman fan. He decided to make the costume from the last Batman film that Batman would have worn if he really existed, including Kevlar body armor and titanium fittings.
It got noticed, and he was contacted by a woman in Hollywood working for an FX company who wanted him to move the the West Coast and work for them. He said "Sorry, but I'm an upholsterer for a living and like what I do, and I have a house, wife, and kid in school. I really don't want to uproot." She understood, but said "We're thinking of opening an office in Boston, and if we do, you'll hear from me again."
