to and expand section at Beverly Hills Ninja#Sequel|''Beverly Hills Ninja'' sequel section to show the history of this halted sequel, as its history it does have a |is sourcable.  Written as a sequel to ''Beverly Hills Ninja'' by THAT film's co-writer Mitch Klebanoff, 30% of the film had been shot in Korea and Los Angeles by the time production was forced to halt. In 2010 Klebanoff sued his Korean investors for their failing to provide adequate funding, a failure which resulted in numerous production shutdowns, the eventual halting of principle filming, and Klebanoff's removal from the project.http://www.thewrap.com/deal-central/column-post/beverly-hills-ninja-co-writer-sues-over-sequel-16988  Of course, the litigants sued him in turn, with claims of misrepresentation.  The dispute ended up in front of an Independent Film & Television Alliance|IFTA arbitrator who eventually decided in Klebanoff's favor on the main claims of his suit, who in July 2011 awarded him "nearly $262,000, which included principal money due, legal costs, and interest.  Klebanoff filed a petition on Monday in state court to confirm the final award, and a hearing is set for Sept. 21 2011."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/beverly-hills-ninja-2-director-213938  What we have here is a film that began, ran into the worst of production hells, and ceased principle filming '''before''' being completed.  Per , , and , sourced mentions of this (so-far-failed) project "''might''" merit inclusion in the Beverly Hills Ninja#Sequel|''Beverly Hills Ninja'' sequel section (which itself needs correction because a film only 30% shot is NOT in post-production), or in a Mitch Klebanoff article were he to have one.  As a stalled film whose future is uncertain, and per , ''Dancing Ninja'' does not merit a seperate article.  And as a film wjose future is in doubt, it fails being one of |NFF's few exceptions.  As 30% '''has''' been shot, and represents an investment in time and money that production would love to recoupe, it "is" possible that filming "''might''" resume. '''If''' filming does recommence, we can undelete the article and expand it accordingly
