After today's news of Universal acquired DreamWorks Animation for $3billion, I expected to imagine that Walt Disney Pictures would acquire Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for $1.1billion; that includes the rights to James Bond, The Pink Panther, Rocky, and other MGM library.

Unlike Marvel and Lucasfilm, MGM films would release it's films under the Disney brand; which could be meaning the end of Touchstone Pictures this September since Disney currently focus on four main studio units. The reissues (e.g. James Bond) would feature the Disney logo for the beginning of the films while the 'Distributed by WALT DISNEY STUDIOS MOTION PICTURES' credit could also replacing the other studio's distribution credit and the MGM logo to be appeared in the end bit only to precede the Disney logo.

I bet that, if Disney buys MGM for $1billion, it would be lovely that Disney could release Bond 25 and EON may selected the Martian War story. Other MGM's distribution deals, including Warner Bros and Paramount, may be jeopardised if Disney completes the deal.

I agreed with that, and all of you as well if that's a good idea unless the actual news of Bond 25 will come soon. I hope so :-)

If we all keep posting 'Martian War' will that guarantee that it will happen?

 

By the same token....

 

"Garden of Death'

 

'Shatterhand'

 

'Risico'

 

'No damn Martian War'

You'll have to post that one a few more times to keep up with the number of times this and other Bond sites have been spammed with this nonsense.

 

But, then again, Disney acquiring Bond and making Mars Attacks! 2 - The Subpar Martian Conflict would save me quite a bit of money on future Bond projects.
