cookie Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I guess the failure of JC did make some heads roll... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Nikki did a writeup on the situationhttp://www.deadline.com/2012/04/disney-bob-iger-president-ceo-rich-ross-fired/Interesting read, but it kind of makes out Ross to be a victim. Seems those other guys had good reason not to trust him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm interested to hear Jim Hill's take either on his blog or the Magical Definition Podcast that he's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That guy was over his head anyway. His lack of experience really showed in the JC debacle. Sometimes great tv execs don't know how to be film execs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This is a good article:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/rich-ross-disney-chariman-out-resigns.htmlI really don't like Iger's thing of "modernising" the studio. He's doing more harm then good in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I don't like Iger either. His turn is coming soon what withal these things imploding in his face.Honestly, Hollywood's making it easy for the next megastar to arrive with how close-minded they are. And I don't necessarily mean an actor, could be anyone really, could even be a method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Unfortunately I don't see Iger going away anytime soon. As the article said, the studio is just a pittance of what the company actually earns, and all Disney's other properties are doing just fine.
