They get Indiana Jones too? Oh great, now we get to see Shia LeBeuf as Indy.

Yes, Indiana Jones was included. The article made that franchise sound like almost an afterthought, though.

No worse than Michael Bay turning the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into aliens.

Canon means nothing to filmmakers.

Disney is buying Lucas Films.

I would have to agree with everyone in that I don't see any good films coming out of this deal...

That said however, I believe that the real piece of the pie that Disney was after is ILM... They have been a key figure in special effects for about 30 years... No only does it bring it under their own roof for in-house projects, but it's also a property that they can farm out... Where else do you think Michael Bay would go to get 59 different shades of CGI smoke coming off of a tanker that just blew up

In honor of the sale of LucasFilm to Disney.

The only silver lining is Lucas' limited involvement in what would probably become the gritty reboot of the Star Wars trilogy. But even without George Lucas involved, there's only so many things that can be done to keep Brett Ratner and Michael Bay away from those things.

And really, at this point, any change or new attempt at adding to it is just going to keep making it worse.

Maybe Disney will just re-release the non-special editions. Yeah, that's what they paid $4 billion for.

I want the non-defaced original films on blueray, Disney make this happen!

Given the massive amount of Star Wars merchandise that is still produced, the licensing rights alone have to be worth a few hundred million a year. And I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've never watched the episode I-III movies and I doubt that I ever will.

As for any new movies, not interested in those either.

Just wait for the Star Wars - Pirates of the Caribbean crossover movie.

OK, I did lol to that one. I can totally see Disney doing that.

You know, if Disney operates its further acquisitions correctly, they could have Han pilot a captured star destroyer, and along the way pick up the cylon battlestar just in time to hang out with Cpt. Jack Sparrow while Kermit's grandpa sings the greens.

I think Disney got a hell of a deal on this. Star Wars, ILM, Skywalker Sounds, and the Indy franchise? Cripes.

With the Disney credit playing right before the 20th Century Fox credit (assuming they keep it).

Kind of weird to think: the new movies won't have the 20th Century Fox intro.

Sad. That would have screwed our field show my freshman year of high school. That was a fun show. Great trombone part. The Imperial March was the highlight, of course.

They might still have that. I was reading a story last night (read too many on the subject and now can't find the one to quote) that stated Disney wouldn't do much with the Indiana Jones title due to the entanglement with Paramount as distributor. The story then went on to say that 20th Century Fox retained certain rights to the franchise for distribution, but that wouldn't be an impediment to Disney. So we will likely see the 20th Century Fox logo to continue opening the future movies.

Re: New/Rented Movies: Insert Random Retread Of A Plot

Am interested in The Man With The Iron Fists or whatever it is. RZA and approval from Tarantino? Those are plusses.

And Suicide Kings is on. Great movie. Leary in one of his best roles. And of course, Walken. Hell, even Jay Mohr does a good job.

Wanna see this in the theater as the visuals look good.

Dunno how much you are into rap, but RZA was part of the Wu Tang Clan group, who were huge fans of kung fu movies, etc. It's not like some random crossing over by a rap star. I still have my doubts, but as the reviews roll in....I might have to see this in theaters.

All I have is Wu Tang Clan Forever. Didn't recognize RZA as a member when you mentioned.

After Crouching Tiger and Hero it seemed like there'd be a parade of these great (non-cheesy) martial arts flicks. Kill Bill was great too. Since then? Not so much. Oh yeah, and Kung Fu Hustle.


So what happens when Q gets into the game again? Hoping...

"The House Of Flying Daggers" is my favorite of that "Crouching" re-birth. "Hero" was quite excellent, though. For an older movie, "Fist Of Legend" (Bruce Lee remake with Jet Li) was also excellent, and has one of the best realistic fight scenes I've seen (blindfold scene) in these movies.

Another good one was "The Curse Of The Golden Flower" (Crouching re-birth period)

Let us not forget about Jamie Chung. Good God what a smokeshow.
