Sure, it's not easy, but it seems a bit ludicrous that they don't resort to dipping into their own coffers. Knowing that they've been very successful with past films, it seems they could skip the process of looking for money. Sure, it would appeal to use someone else's funds if possible, but they need to check their own bank accounts and do a little skimming off the top if their hearts are truly into getting their project 'in the canne', so to speak. The supreme of artists, Orson Welles, did just that. They seem to be like that guy we all know who always has a hard time getting his hand in and out of his pocket when it is time for a restaurant tab to be paid.
