Disney acquires Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises for $4bn

‘Star Wars’ creator George Lucas has agreed to sell his company, Lucasfilm, to entertainment giant Disney for $4.1bn (£2.5bn), and a new ‘Star Wars’ film is planned for 2015.

Disney anuncia compra da Lucasfilm e promete novo “Star Wars” em 2015

Como nosso foco é no produto final, não temos costume de noticiar fatos corporativos como “fulano comprou ciclano”, mas essa merece, principalmente pelo grande impacto que terá nas indústrias criativas em diversas instâncias.

A Disney acabou de anunciar que fechou acordo de compra da Lucasfilm, por mais de 4 bilhões de dólares. A jóia da transação? A franquia “Star Wars”, é claro, com o próprio release oficial citando o lançamento de um novo filme da série em 2015.

Até onde sei, o mercado não esperava por esse negócio, mas a decisão se encaixa perfeitamente com a estratégia multi-cultural da Disney, centrada no cross-over depois da revolução implantada na empresa por Michael Eisner nos anos 1990.

As franquias são fundamentais para a casa do Mickey Mouse, que transforma filmes em uma lógica invariável que os leva para parques temáticos, teatro, desfiles, produtos de toda sorte, livros, televisão, videogames, shows em navios de cruzeiro, e tudo o mais onde a diversão em família possa estar.

Disney quer produzir um novo filme “Star Wars” a cada 2 ou 3 anos.

Quem já reclamava da forma como George Lucas espremia seus produtos, licenciando a sua maior criação praticamente sem critérios, agora vai ter que lidar com a fome da Disney em aproveitar o universo “Star Wars” em todas a suas áreas de atuação. Eisner implantou a integração vertical da empresa, onde suas filiais e produtos culturais respondem diretamente para a marca-mãe. Ele saiu, pressionado por criativos, mas seu legado e filosofia continuam.

Dona da Pixar (comprada por 7.4 bilhões em 2005), da Marvel (comprada por 4 bilhões em 2009), da ESPN, do canal ABC, da Touchstone, da Miramax, de mais de 900 filmes em catálogo, 140 Oscars, e agora da Lucasfilm, o império da Disney parece imbátivel como uma das maiores multinacionais do entretenimento.

“Esta transação combina um portfolio mundial que inclui Star Wars, uma das maiores famílias de franquias de entretenimento de todos os tempos, e a criatividade única e sem paralelos da Disney através de múltiplas plataformas, negócios e mercados para gerar crescimento sustentável e trazer significativo valor a longo prazo”

Palavras acima de Robert A. Iger, CEO da Disney, publicadas no release. Aliás, para quem se interessar pela história cheia de intrigas da empresa, e principalmente pela atuação de Michael Eisner, recomendo o livro “Disney War”, de James B. Stewart.

Já George Lucas, declarou que é hora de passar “Star Wars” para as mãos de uma nova geração de cineastas. Muitos fãs não irão aprovar a notícia, mas outros tantos devem estar se sentindo aliviados.

[Atualização] No vídeo abaixo, George Lucas fala sobre sua aposentadoria, que entra agora em uma nova fase da vida que não envolve o mercado cinematográfico, e o futuro da franquia “Star Wars”.

DBS Bank: Expect The Unexpected

Part of a series of installations that depict the most unimaginable that could happen to a car. This mysteriously bisected car is the first of its kind to be seen on the roads in Singapore. Curious onlookers and drivers were directed to a QR code they could scan to find out what had happened to the car. Filmed from the perspective of an in-car camera, this is the first of three dramatised tongue-in-cheek videos of unexpected events caught on camera. The videos drive home a safety message to drivers, that with an in-car camera you can expect to see the unexpected.

Spoleto “repete” a piada para promover coleção de pratos

Pensando em promover a sua nova coleção de pratos, o Spoleto decidiu recorrer novamente a parceria com o Porta dos Fundos, quando fizeram sucesso respondendo de forma bem humorada um viral negativo.

Você deve pensar logo de cara: Lá vem o departamento de marketing querendo espremer a mesma ideia, com a conclusão imediata de que devem ter falhado miseravelmente. Talvez você tenha razão, mas eles também pensaram nisso. E com metalinguagem fazem piada com a própria decisão e gravação do comercial.

Ainda tem a surpresa no final, com a presença de outra marca que faz parte do grupo.

É fácil dizer que o mérito da piada está no humorista e ator Fábio Porchat, mas é também louvável a sequência da aposta em conteúdo e humor online por parte do Spoleto. Conseguiram repetir a fórmula, sem ofender a inteligência de quem gostou dos vídeos originais.

Megan Fox Leaves Booty at Home in Brainy Acer Ad

megan_fox_acer_dolphins.png

Seemingly uninterested in the prospect of playing yet another hottie with a hot body – this time a character who wears her underwear in space – Megan Fox has higher aspirations; marine Biology and the invention of a technology with which to speak to dolphins.

Yes, as a follow up to the brand’s wacky outing with Kiefer Sutherland, Acer is out with another Mother London-created spectacle which focuses on Fox’s desire to become a “brilliant” scientist with, of course, help from Acer’s Aspire S7 laptop.

In the ad, Fox teams with a group of entranced scientists (one in particular) who help her develop speech recognition software that enables communication with dolphins. Over the course of 103 days of hard work and a bit of Tolstoy, the team finally finds success.

We suppose it’s an inevitable move for a woman who has always been seen and labeled as a sex object all her adult life. and a fitting on as she heads towards parenthood. Still, we wouldn’t seeing her get on an off a motorcycle wearing short shorts or leaning over a car engine in a miniskirt and crop top from time to time.
