Disney buys Fox assets (including rights to Marvel and DC properties)

I can see Mickey in the next Avengers and Donald Duck as the new Batman. And, that's just Goofy to me.

Square Enix contracts to produce the console game.

Also one direct sequel, and then X-number of loose remakes and incremental updates of both games and combinations of them and intraquels, while teasing fans about finally providing the third game.

I want them to reissue the actual theatrical cuts of the original trilogy on blu-ray. Lucas hacked the shit out of those movies and it's almost impossible to get a theatrical cut at this point. What's available is of decidedly mixed quality.

I should think the original masters still exist somewhere along with editing notes, for cobbling together a new workprint. Disney assigns fourteen hundred minions to locate and recreate the theatrical cut. Cost including labor, $30K.   ::) :P


(To be honest I wouldn't buy it. But I understand the importance of its value for historical archive purposes.)

I'd buy blu-rays of the original trilogy theatrical cuts. Be nice to have (if they were properly remastered).

Hmm, maybe they will bring back:



I also think this means they have the rights to The Time Tunnel now.  Fox did a remuddled version of it in 2006.

Hmm, maybe they will bring back:

They'd better not

You didn't like (the first three seasons of) Sliders?  :timeout:

[mirth]

I didn't like any of the seasons of Sliders.

Oh, and this thread is in sore need of this:

Aliens vs Predator vs Fett vs Guardians of the Galaxy.

You forgot Old B.O.B. from The Black Hole.

Compromise: the action is set on the Cygnus. The nearby black holes is stated to open into alternate universes, so that's how the plot junks together.
