Star Wars Universe / Star Wars film production to slow down
« on: September 20, 2018, 10:46 AM »
Check out this article from The Hollywood Reporter and their interview with Disney chief Bob Iger:
Bob Iger Talks Disney's Streaming Service, 'Roseanne,' James Gunn and a Coming 'Star Wars' "Slowdown"
Here's the notable passage where THR asked Iger about the pace of production for Star Wars projects:
Many believe Disney should pump the breaks and not put out a Star Wars movie each year.
I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not gonna make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven't been specific about. And we are just at the point where we're gonna start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s. But I think we're gonna be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.
Finally, some Disneyland purists are upset that there's going to be booze for sale in Star Wars Land.
We have to be careful we don't let people drink and then go on Autopia. (Laughs.)
