Disney acquires future "Indiana Jones" film

[orphen20]

It's pretty clear that Disney has owned LucasFilm since 2012 though Paramount's in charge of the Indy franchise until now. Which means Disney will handle the production from now on and Paramount would involve in financial participation. Thoughts?

Disney needs to stop trying to monopolize everything! What's next on their to-buy list? I'm getting sick of this. This is as bad as EA Sports monopolizing all sports video games.

I thought Disney already owns everything under Lucasfilm brand? And if you want to blame anyone, blame it on George Lucas since he was the one who sold his company to Disney for $4 billion. Can't blame Disney for taking what they paid in full.

Hopefully we can get Indy 5 soon then.

Promise me Shia LaBeouf won't be in the next one, then we'll talk...

Disney is an all around really solid company that has an amazingly good ratio when it comes to quality movies, even if it's not films that are your cup of tea. And it's less about monopolizing everything and more so just a case of Disney wanted to try to get away from being seen as something mainly for girls. They're purchase of Marvel was specifically to get a huge pie when it comes to the boy market.

Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney felt more than natural, he's had a fantastic relationship with Disney for years, to the point of licensing rides for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones for the Disney parks even while the franchises were released by other companies.

The acquisition of Indy was only a matter of time, when Paramount's deal went up.

I look forward to what Disney does with the fifth film.

You must really hate it when the Disney/EA rumor pops up from time to time...

Oh I know what they could do to give the series a longer life despite Harrison's age. Have Indy search for the fountain of youth, have him find it and just cast a new actor. Also for added synergy they could have a Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow cameo.

They had Power Rangers for a stint and they didn't even know what the f'ck to do with them.

I'm waiting for the day that either Toei, Tsuburaya, Toho, or Kadokawa (aka Daiei) falls to Disney's might.:laugh:

You know, they should go after BBC...and Disney's "Dr. Who":laugh:


Now the question is...Disney buys a franchise...and doesn't even know what to fricken do with them...Yeesh.
