So the Fox deal with Star Wars is over, but Paramount still holds something over Indy?

Cars 1 had lukewarm reviews which is why a sequel definitely seemed like a cash grab. I don't know if you can count this as Disney influence or the cost of expansion. Pixar has been growing since the acquisition but they've retained their control.

I see her name in the credits on, like, every film that comes out.
It's not like he's had to work a day in his life since 1977.

Biggest shitstorm of my life.
Who has the rights to the original theatrical prints?!
Yeah, I am listening to the conference too, and that bit gave me a bad feeling. You could tell the question by that person was just a thinly veiled attempt to ask if they could release the unaltered trilogy.
Munich (2005) (producer)
War of the Worlds (2005) (producer)
Ponyo (2009) (U.S. version co-producer)
The Adventures of Tintin (2011) (producer)
Artificial Intelligence: A.I. (2001) (producer)
She might have a few stinkers in there but she has a lot more amazing films than bad ones. Generally, it seems she was producing stuff that Lucas was involved in. That being the case, Lucas' garbage became her garbage by extension. You can't really blame her for that.

I forgot about Image Movers a minute ago. Maybe I was associating them with Sony for some reason.
That makes four.

It's going to be weird seeing a Star Wars movie without the 20th Century Fox logo.
well... disney (unless lucas burned them)
they just can't release them without co-operation of 20th century fox
fox is going to try to hold onto this big time now that they announced new films.

HOLY SHIT! :O
Cars 2 is straight-up Lasseter, but you could have a point with the cancelled Newt and the behind-the-scenes problems with Brave.

You can't seriously be talking shit about Kennedy as producer.
She's produced a lot of Spielberg's gems.

Lucasfilm. 20th Century Fox is the distributor. Back in the prequel days, 20th Century Fox admitted that the deal they have with Lucas is actually terrible financially. Lucas gets most of everything.

If only they could bring Star Wars back to its original glory. By which I mean the small period in 1996 when it was the original films but cleaned up and made to look nice, before Episode I came along and totally fucked it all up by introducing the originals to the idea of "retconning".

I'm not surprised a lot of people here wouldn't realize she's been one of the biggest producers in Hollywood for decades.

People are just looking for something negative to latch on to.
I know. There was some doubt with the new acquisition.

Disney just said they saw no value in Indiana Jones!

Paramount do have stakes in Indy. Interesting.
Lucas does/did. But Fox always distributed the films for him.

Oh dear.
Sounded like that whatever hand Paramount has in it is going to make it difficult to work with.
Wow, first Marvel, now Lucasfilm. Disney is really going after the young male market hard.
1. So, no more 20th Century Fox logo before the SW opening crawl in Episode VII? And no more Paramount mountain segue for future Indiana Jones films?
2. And does this mean that the CG Clone Wars series will move from Cartoon Network to Disney XD?
Oh shit Indy.
Didn't think about him. They'll do new movies with the fucktit guy from transformers. Gaahhhh.

Learn to listen. Lucasfilm don't hold the full rights to Indiana Jones, so it couldn't be factored.

I haven't really looked into the story in detail, but this is how I imagine it went down.
"Well, we have such a difficult time marketing our own space filled adventures like 'John Carter'... What can we do..." *they look solemny towards the LucasFilm building accross the street, then grin*

I'm a little disappointed they don't seem to want to pursue Indiana Jones at all.
