Disney in talks to buy Fox. What could this mean for Alien and Predator?

[Huggs]

It's 24% to 11% in favor of fantastic 4 over Alien.

Fantastic 4?

I fear for our species and the art of film.

We've had enough good Alien movies, we can die in peace. We're still to have a single Fantastic 4 good movie.

Exactly. One is hopeless, one is not.

Ya, Galactus should have been ... Galactus.

A better idea would have been separating marvel content and having two polls, for sure.

[Corporal Hicks]

Certainly. The Marvel properties are going to go to Marvel, Star Wars to Lucas and Avatar will be absorbed into the Disney brand. The rest is where the most uncertainty lies.

[EJA]

So what's gonna happen with Predator?

[Corporal Hicks]

No idea at the minute. We imagine all the none-Disney brands will continue under the 20th Century Fox banner but we don't know yet.

As of March 7th:

Later in the meeting, Iger said that Disney plans to keep some of the 20th Century Fox-related brand names alive for some productions.

"There will be businesses within the company that still have the Fox name on them, particularly on the movie side," Iger said. "We will continue to make the movies under the Fox brand and Fox Searchlight brand. FX will keep its name too."

Nothing good i feel.

A sad day, the monopoly disney making is terrible, not only fro ma legal standpoint but certainly from an artistic one too, given that it destroys everything it touches.

My worst fear is that everyone knows this is true... but they just don't care because this means Wolverine can stand on screen next to Captain America.

[Kradan]

Indeed. Why A/P has to be screwed up just because of Marvel fans? It's unfair.

So, Dark Ages of Alien and Predator is beginning ... right now.

[Samhain13]

But will the series be signing off for now?

Would you have preferred the ineptly mismanaged Sony? How about the company responsible for SyFy? If memory serves right, those were basically the other two leading alternatives.

Fox was going to sell its film division to someone, either way. Disney was the healthiest choice, given the alternatives.
