The Mouse is in the Fox House!

What does this mean for Disney?  What does it mean for Fox?  Why make this move?  Why would Rupert Murdoch look to sell large pieces of Fox?

What does Fox keep? What does Disney get?

Do we like this move?

Each week we’ll break down ten news stories and facts that just didn’t quite make the list for a segment.  We’ve got 1 minute per topic before we move onto the next; finished or not.  Gotta go fast…in the Speed Run.

 

  • 1.  Quentin Tarintino  is planning to make a Star Trek movie in partnership with Paramount.   Will we see a more gritty and violent space adventure?
  • 2.  DC might be mixing some things up!  Sources say Jon Berg will no longer run DC Films’ production, and DC will become a production partner with Roy Lee (LEGO Movie, It) during the restructure early next year
  • 3.  Square Enix is releasing a limited run of physical copies of the upcoming Secret of Mana remake for PS4.  The game releases on PS4, Vita, and Steam on Feburary 15 next year
  • 4.  Netflix will resume production for House of Cards season 6 early next year.  The final season of the show will not include Kevin Spacey

E.M #1  If Disney gets ahold of Fox’s tv and movie studios, maybe juuusst maybe we can have a Hugh Jackman Wolverine in the MCU!  Man that would be sick.  Curious to know if you think Jackman would comeback and what would be the first thing Disney does with the properties they get from Fox.

 

E.M #2: I know that microtransactions are part of the gaming culture now, but what do you think about the price of games?  As other items have continued to go up, games have stayed the same price for over 15 years.  Garrett and Joshua, you’re both cool with micro transaction to some extent or another and Johnnie you always seem to be against it;  how would your views and expectation change if standard edition games became $75-$80.  Keep in mind this is exactly how much games are in the U.K. and parts of Europe.  The Xb1 and ps4 dropped and game prices went up over there.   Thanks,
