UPDATE – 1PM: We’re hearing that the deal also includes Lucasfilm’s technology companies – LucasArts, Industrial Light + Magic and Skywalker Sound. It MAY also include Lucas’ share of the Indiana Jones franchise as well, which would make Disney a partner with Paramount on future projects. Additional stories here at the L.A. Times and Hollywood Reporter.
UPDATE – 3 PM: Here are new and updated details on this deal from the official Disney investors’ conference call this afternoon:
•Deal signed and announced earlier today – includes Star Wars franchise and all Lucasfilm operating businesses.
•Indiana Jones franchise rights ARE also included in this deal.
•Disney loves the Indiana Jones franchise, but it wasn't included in the studio’s Lucasfilm valuation due to its “encumbrances” (meaning existing financial/legal involvement of Paramount).
•First project under the joint under Disney/Lucas partnership will be Star Wars: Episode 7 in 2015, followed by Episode 8 and Episode 9.
•Disney purchased “extensive and detailed” treatment for Episodes 7-9 as part of this deal which they “feel very good about.”
•Disney long term plan is to release a new live-action Star Wars film every 2-3 years – films may eventually explore entire 20,000 year time-span of the franchise.
•It’s Lucas’ plan to stay retired, but he will serve as creative consultant on new Star Wars films. Kathleen Kennedy will executive produce. Both are now sitting down with writers to discuss stories.
•Fox retains certain distribution rights to the existing Star Wars films but not the new franchise films going forward.
•Kennedy will serve as Lucasfilm president, reporting to Bob Iger at Disney.
•Disney plans to expand Star Wars brand into many new product categories and internationally.
•Star Wars brand will also be expanded into Disney parks, games and TV businesses.
•Iger feels Disney XD would be a good TV home for the franchise going forward.
•Star Wars interactive strategy: Disney will focus more on social and mobile platforms, opportunistically on consoles.
•Deal was 50% cash and 50% stock – $4.05 billion
•Disney believes Lucasfilm value is comparable to value of Marvel, but valuation is only based on Star Wars alone – value of other Lucasfilm intellectual properties are in addition to this.
•Disney plans to let ILM continue operating as it currently does.
Se resaltan los puntos de no solo una nueva trilogia, si no sacar cada dos o tres años una nueva película "live action" de Star Wars a largo plazo. Fox retiene algunos de sus derechos (no se detallan) de distribución de los episodios I al VI, pero quedan fuera de los nuevos proyectos...
