BadAtGender Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Disney is Developing a Live-Action/CG Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Movie Huh. Okay. Not how I would have expected or done a revival of the Disney Afternoon properties, but I suppose that could work. Hopefully it'll be more intelligent and engaging than G-Force, Alvin & the Chipmunks, or The Smurfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I could've lived with a CGI Cartoon but a CGI Live action film IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I would love it if WDAS did a proper Ducktales feature. Or adapt a classic Scrooge comic. Paperman style even? Rescuer Rangers? meh.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) This is Alan Horn's job: As Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, Alan F. Horn oversees worldwide operations for The Walt Disney Studios including production, distribution, and marketing for live-action and animated films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, as well as marketing and distribution for DreamWorks Studios films released under the Touchstone Pictures banner. He also oversees Disney's music and theatrical groups. I was browsing through Disney's corporate structure and came across this job description. Heh, no pressure Alan Horn. Disney is absolutely huge! Many of the most active BO threads concern Disney properties and that's not even touching the parks, ABC, ESPN, TV shows,etc. Edited April 23, 2014 by lilmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tiki Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 After the monumental failure of 2012's John Carter, which led to huge losses and the ouster of Walt Disney Studios head Rich Ross, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. has announced that the movie, television and merchandise rights have reverted back to their company, with plans to entice a new studio to adapt the author's "Mars" cycle. This is odd news, especially given that the rights to many of Burroughs' earliest works, including "A Princess of Mars" and "Warlord of Mars," are in the public domain in the US, though not in certain countries. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. previously tried to sue Dynamite Comics over their publication of John Carter comic books in countries where the trademark still stands, though it was settled earlier this year. There is nothing to prevent direct-to-DVD knockoffs of John Carter, as low-rent studio The Asylum made in 2009 with Princess of Mars, starring Antonio Sabato Jr. and Traci Lords. Hence, there is nothing to stop ANY studio from making a John Carter movie--even one with star Taylor Kitsch if they were feeling particularly kamikaze--yet having Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.'s approval will give any production entity worldwide coverage. If there is any demand for a reboot of the property--which did gross over $284-million worldwide--it will likely be on a reduced budget and without the 2012 film's director, Andrew Stanton. The company has faith that there are still many fans around the globe who want to see Carter ride his eight-legged thoat into the sun in cinematic triumph. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=124267 I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that a John Carter reboot won't be happening for a long time.

Sir Tiki Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Disney Film Boss Ousted by Warner Finds Vindication in Success Alan F. Horn was pushed out by Warner Brothers in 2011 after a celebrated run as its film chief — too old, too out of touch, he was told. Toddle off into a happy retirement, he was advised. Read a book. Since then, Mr. Horn, 71, has achieved something rare in show business, if not in business over all: He has rewritten his own ending. Mr. Horn in 2012 became chairman of Walt Disney Studios, which he has helped turn into Hollywood’s most formidable movie operation, at least in the eyes of Wall Street. At a time when investors dismiss most film companies as footnotes, Mr. Horn’s studio, which includes Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm, on Thursday reported a record $1.55 billion in profit for its last fiscal year, up from $661 million in 2013. Over the weekend, “Big Hero 6,” Disney’s animated follow-up to “Frozen,” was No. 1 at the domestic box office, taking in $56.2 million to rout the space epic “Interstellar.” “Maleficent,” starring Angelina Jolie, was the No. 1 nonsuperhero movie of the summer, taking in $757.6 million worldwide. “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a Marvel film, ranks as the year’s No. 1 movie over all, with global ticket sales of $768 million. Moreover, Disney’s pipeline is overflowing with potential blockbusters. Disney will release 21 big-budget movies in the next three years; it released 13 in the last three. Three “Star Wars” films and three “Avengers” sequels are on the way. Pixar is working on “Finding Dory” and “Toy Story 4.” Disney’s live-action label, which was floundering with bombs like “John Carter” when Mr. Horn took over, has a new “Pirates of the Caribbean” and a follow-up to “Alice in Wonderland,” which took in more than $1 billion in 2010. “Hiring Alan was the equivalent of a team signing the greatest free agent on the market, and we were very lucky that he was a free agent,” said Robert A. Iger, the Walt Disney Company’s chief executive.

kayumanggi Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's amazing that Disney is always among the top studios despite releasing fewer films. Their strategy is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Um, that's cause they have Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel etc. They don't make any films or hardly any, so really it's nothing to be proud about. The more money you have and the more brands/studios you can buy, of course you'd be expected to be top all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Frohike Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Um, that's cause they have Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel etc. And WDAS and their own live-action studio, which are separate, too, but all owned by Disney nevertheless. They don't make any films or hardly any, so really it's nothing to be proud about. Well, these production studios collectively don't make that many movies, but collectively they are still very successful. Does that count for anything, or does Disney's live-action studio specifically have to produce a great quantity of smaller hit-or-miss movies to count? The more money you have and the more brands/studios you can buy, of course you'd be expected to be top all the time. Seems to me that Disney owns some of the best ones, not just a vast number of them, and have allowed them to do what they do best while successfully selling their movies to the public. But I guess none of this counts, right? Everybody knows that the Disney of today is not the original Disney under Walt (except for WDAS, which is THE original Disney studio). But it's still a thing unto itself, and a "studio" that succeeds with a limited number of releases (not sheer volume), which is impressive.
