Kerner Optical, LLC (used to be part of ILM) has filed for bankrupcy. (Chapter 11)

Chapter 11 Voluntary Petition, Fee Amount $1039, Filed by Kerner Optical, LLC. Order Meeting of Creditors due by 02/11/2011. (Chandler, David) (Entered: 02/04/2011)

Probably inevitable as most of ILM moved to the Presidio development.

Kerner Optical started when George Lucas discovered that 20th Century Fox had closed down their special effects department after Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was green lit for production. Lucas then started his own special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic.

In Chapter 11, in most instances the debtor remains in control of its business operations as a debtor in possession, and is subject to the oversight and jurisdiction of the court.

Some reorganizing, could be a sign of things to come.
