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

Perhaps with the sell coming to a close, we'll know the fate of the franchise and if Riddles gets to make his final prequel film. Crossing my fingers Watts does stay, so she can pull some strings and help get Awakening officially green lit.

Once we know how the film division is going to be handled we'll have a better idea of what to expect. It is sounding likely that Fox will continue to function as it's own thing under Disney so we might not get much of a change to Alien and Predator.

[The Old One]

Indeed.

Perhaps the biggest change that we'll notice may just be the little subtitle on the bottom of logo instead of saying a 'A News Corporation Company' it will now say 'A Walt Disney Company '

So I guess this means, like Star Wars, A/P comic contract rights will run out and eventually be moved to Marvel. (sigh)

My secret hope is they sell AVP to WB then Alien and Blade Runner can finally be legitimately connected.

Good thing then that Blade Runner doesn't belong to Warner Brothers.

Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes.

I've been saying that since this was first announced.

Seems my wishes and others for the final prequel film have come to reality. Emma Watts is going to head Fox under the house of mouse, and answer directly to Alan Horn. Let's hope she pulls the strings to finish the trilogy.

Hope so.
