La firma se renueva bajo el mando de Robert Iger, pero los accionistas dudan de su nueva estrategia.
Contenido para el mercado masculinoRobert Iger, que llegó a Disney en 1996 con la compra de Capital Cities/ABC en 19,000 MDD por parte de la compañía, ha demostrado ser un comprador compulsivo.Tres meses después de iniciada su gestión como máximo responsable de Disney, aceptó pagar 7,400 MDD por Pixar, uno de cuyos fundadores fue Steve Jobs, para mejorar la declinante producción de animaciones de Disney.
En conjunto, Iger ha comprado 28 empresas de forma total o parcial en estos cuatro años, según datos que compiló Bloomberg.Cuando anunció el acuerdo por Marvel y su elenco de superhéroes en agosto, Iger dijo que se sumarían a los personajes de Disney y harían que su oferta de animaciones por cable resultara más atractiva para los varones. Si bien parte del material de entretenimiento de Disney, como las cintas de acción Piratas del Caribe y Cars, de Pixar, pueden ser populares entre los varones, la mayor parte de sus películas, programas de televisión por cable y personajes resultan atractivos a los niños más pequeños y a las adolescentes, comenta Michael Morris, analista de UBS AG en Nueva York.Disney Channel es el principal canal de cable en el segmento de niñas de entre seis y 14 años, con éxitos como Hannah Montana, una tira dedicada a una cantante adolescente."Disney se ha esforzado menos en lo relativo al contenido y los productos para los varones que en los destinados a las niñas", dice Michael Morris. "Cuando Disney busca oportunidades de crecimiento, considera que hay grandes posibilidades en el sector de los niños".El año pasado, Disney también compró Wideload Games, la productora del famoso y violento videojuego Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, que presenta zombies que devoran cerebros.Además, la compañía reformuló su canal de cable de animaciones y lo convirtió en Disney XD.
La nueva programación del canal ofrece programas como Kick Buttowski, dirigido a varones de entre seis y 14 años, dijo la empresa.Cuando Disney crea una franquicia (como High School Musical, que presenta al ídolo adolescente Zac Efron), Robert Iger trata de explotarla en toda la extensión del imperio de la compañía. La película del Disney Channel también floreció en teatros, en un musical, en CD, DVD, videojuegos, un espectáculo de patinaje sobre hielo y en parques.

Se confirma la Búsqueda 3
Nicolas Cage will be returning as Ben Gates soon in the third installment of Disney's hit franchise "National Treasure" and the very affable director of the series, Jon Turteltaub, stopped to talk to ComingSoon.net at the Hollywood premiere of Prince of Persia: The Sands of time about the upcoming film, why he's such a fan of Nic's and why he's not worried about a potential shooting schedule conflict with Ghost Rider 2.
ComingSoon.net: You've worked with Nicolas Cage a few times now.
What is it about him that you enjoy working with?Jon Turteltaub: He's a gentleman. He is one of the most professional actors but especially compared to what we think the wild Nic Cage is like. This is a guy who works really hard and has none of that movie star nonsense. All those bad stories you've heard about movie actors - none of those are true with Nic Cage. You also get someone who never bores you. Every time you're watching him do a scene you're going to get something unexpected. For a director, that's what you want because if they're only doing what you ask them to do - you have to be good as a director. He can fill in anything you're missing and do something special and that's what directors need.CS: Up until this point, he's been known for being an actor who doesn't do sequels.
"National Treasure: Book of Secrets" is the first one he's ever done. Did that surprise you?
Turteltaub: I wasn't surprised he did "National Treasure." I was surprised he'd never done a sequel before. That was the surprise especially with "The Rock." That's a movie that can make a phenomenal sequel. I think it's kind of a testament to Nic's variety that he'd never really done a sequel. His films are never kind of so that you can just knock out a sequel - there's something always complicated there. So I guess we made a simple enough movie. "National Treasure" was designed to be that kind of movie... a treasure hunt where you can go on several treasure hunts. It's really a tribute to Nic and how he created that character. People go see sequels to see characters and not stories, they've seen the story.
CS: When does "National Treasure 3" start shooting?
Turteltaub: I think we start shooting late fall, early winter. Hopefully that's the goal and I think it will come out Christmas 2011. That's assuming everyone is available, the script is good and I haven't thrown a tantrum. CS: I know Nic has to start shooting the next "Ghost Rider" soon so will that conflict with your movie?Turteltaub: I doubt it. Usually scheduling conflicts come up if you're trying to land an actor and the actor has to choose between two movies. We won't make "National Treasure" without Nic and they won't make "Ghost Rider" without Nic so everyone will find a way to make both movies. It's not like Nic is going to go, "I'll make 'Ghost Rider' instead." He'll make both. Also an actor's schedule is three to four months. Whereas a movies takes a year and a half. So it won't be an issue.
CS: Where would you like to see "National Treasure 3" go?
Turteltaub: Where "Avatar" went. $700 million dollars. I want to see 3D and space. There could be treasure on Pandora. It's possible that somewhere hiding in that tree that fell down was Thomas Jefferson's earrings or something. I don't know. That would be the worst movie ever. Horrible!

Alicia en el país de las maravillas anunciada en Blu ray oficialmente en nuestro país
Planeta HD informa:Ya se anunció oficialmente con este comunicado, la fecha en la que saldrá en España la última película de Tim Burton Alicia en el pais de las maravillas en Blu-ray, que nos llegara, obviamente, editada por Disney.
Alicia (Mia Wasikowska), una joven de 19 años, asiste a una fiesta en una mansión victoriana, donde descubre que está a punto de recibir una propuesta de matrimonio frente a un montón de gente estirada de la alta sociedad. Alicia entonces se escapa, corriendo tras un conejo blanco, entra a un agujero tras él… y acaba en el país de las Maravillas, un lugar que visitó hace 10 años, pero el cual no recuerda. El país de las Maravillas era un reino pacífico hasta que la Reina Roja (Helena Bonham Carter) derrocó a su hermana, la Reina Blanca (Anne Hathaway). Las criaturas del país de las maravillas, listos para la revuelta, esperan que Alicia les ayude, y éstas a su vez le ayudarán a recordar su primera visita al mágico reino… Basada en el popular libro de Lewis Carroll, ambientada diez años después de los eventos contados en el mismo.

El live-action de La Cenicienta
Información aportada por Christopher
--------------
According to Deadline.com Disney has made a million dollar pitch deal for a live action version of 'Cinderella.' The new film will be written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the screenwriter of such hit films as 'The Devil Wears Prada,' 'Laws Of Attraction' and '27 Dresses.' McKenna also penned the upcoming film 'Morning Glory' starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Patrick Wilson.
Disney was the first company the new project was pitched to. The original Disney 1950 animated 'Cinderella' film recieved three Academy Award nominations. In June 2008, the American Film Institute revealed its "10 Top 10"- the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres-after polling over 1,500 people from the creative community. Cinderella was acknowledged as the 9th greatest film in the animation genre
Deadline.com speculates that since Disney's 'Alice In Wonderland' made $116 million in its opening weekend production companies have taken a new interest in "timeless classics." Most recently there was a rush for control of 'The Wizard of Oz.' Universal Pictures has also been in long time plans to produce a movie adaptation of the internationAl Blockbuster musical WICKED.
Aline Brosh McKenna was born in New Jersey. She attended Saddle River Day School in Saddle River, NJ. She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University, and went to New York City to seek a job in publishing. While there, she did some freelance writing work. A script she wrote during a six-week course in screenwriting at New York University helped her get an agent, and she later moved to Los Angeles, where she has seen several of her screenplays produced.[citation needed] She also wrote some episodes of Margaret Cho's sitcom All American Girl.

Resumen: Tras el exito de Alicia, Disney busca realizar otro remake de un clásico y ha elegido un proyecto que sea remake de Cenicienta, escrito por Aline Brosh McKeenan escritora de 'El Diablo Viste a la Moda' y '27 Bodas'.
Es parte (segun Finke) de la fiebre por los clásicos que esta llevando a Warner a realizar un remake de El Mago de Oz y a Universal a producir una versión filmica de su musical Wicked.
