Disney+ Downloads Will Be Available Even After Content Leaves Streaming Service
  |  @   |  

Disney+ will be home to over 6,000 hours worth of content, both original titles like The Mandalorian, Lady and the Tramp, and The World According to Jeff Goldblum, and existing titles like Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

That’s a lot of stuff to watch, and the best part of it is, you can bring it along with you when you download it. And while most of that downloaded content leaves other streaming services, that will not be the case for Disney+, which will let you keep the downloads even when the content itself leaves the streaming service.

Disney CEO Bob Iger Says George Lucas Was Unhappy With ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’
  |  @   |  

After Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, Star Wars creator George Lucas thought that the studio would be using some of his drafts and stories to develop a brand new trilogy. However, a new memoir by Disney CEO Bob Iger tells us otherwise.

Last week’s reports that Disney would stop 20th Century Fox’s film development and focus more on key franchises like Avatar didn’t come as a huge surprise. The studio was bound to cut back on some of the smaller lesser-known properties. And the news comes in the wake of Fox Studios films operating at a loss of $170 million for the quarter.

And now we are getting a new idea of how Disney might determine which films will be a part of the release slate, and which ones might fall by the wayside. We’re also learning that Disney is worried about edgier upcoming titles like Taika Waititi‘s Jojo Rabbit. More on all of this below.
