Dragon Ball Rights In Flux Following Creator's Death

Jonathan EscuderoComment

A Battle Over the Rights to Dragon Ball Begins Following the Passing of Akira Toriyama

In 2016, Shueisha and Dragon Ball Creator/IP Owner Akira Toriyama developed the "Dragon Ball Room" department to be in charge of all Dragon Ball affairs.

V-Jump Editor in Chief Akio Iyoku to was chosen be the head of this department. Iyoku has a decades long relationship with Akira Toriyama and as such, he was Toriyama's right hand man at Shueisha.

Iyoku's “possessive attitude” towards Toriyama properties began causing internal strife in the Dragon Ball Room offices.

Things came to a head when Iyoku greenlit a Sand Land movie adaptation in 2022 without running it through any superiors.

It's rumored he was going to be moved to a different department over this... At this point, Iyoku resigns from his position at Shueisha as head of Dragon Ball Room and in September 2023 he started his own company called Capsule Corp Tokyo.

Capsule Corp Tokyo was given the rights to Dragon Ball video games and anime. While Shueisha retained the rights to the manga.

This move was never fully sorted out before Toriyama passed away in March of 2024.

Companies such as Bandai, who produce Dragon Ball's INSANELY lucrative video games, are left confused as to who to consult regarding creative decisions.

It's said that business meetings are vaguely set up through emails where "all relevant parties" are invited because neither company wants to address each other by name.

The Toriyama family will have to decide whether Shueisha or Capsule Corp will take the creative lead moving forward and how both companies will cooperate for the good of the franchise.

Jordan Peele Talks with Marvel Studios for 'X-Men' Movie Fall Through

Jonathan EscuderoComment

Jordan Peele, the acclaimed director of 'Get Out,' 'Us,' and 'Nope,' reportedly met with Marvel Studios to discuss potentially directing their upcoming 'X-Men' movie. While the meeting took place, it ultimately didn't lead to a collaboration between Peele and Marvel.

According to Jeff Sneider, a journalist and insider, Peele met with Marvel Studios executives to discuss an unspecified project. Although the specific film wasn't named in Sneider's report, One Take News later reported it was the 'X-Men' reboot.

Peele's meeting with Marvel Studios suggests that he may be open to exploring big studio blockbusters, a departure from his usual focus on original projects. While the 'X-Men' movie would have been a great fit for Peele's skills, Marvel is likely to find another director to bring the mutants' story to life in the MCU.

Other possibilities for Peele's potential collaboration with Marvel include 'Spider-Man 4,' 'Avengers 5,' or 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' However, these remain speculative, and neither Marvel nor Peele has confirmed any involvement.

Jordan Peele's unique direction and ability to craft thought-provoking stories would have been an exciting addition to the MCU. Although this opportunity didn't materialize, fans hope that Peele will find another project that aligns with his vision and talents.

PIXAR TO UNDERGO MASSIVE LAYOFFS

Jonathan EscuderoComment

In a significant move, Pixar Animation Studios is undergoing its largest restructuring in history, resulting in the layoff of approximately 175 employees, or around 14% of its workforce. This change comes as part of Disney's broader effort to refocus on quality over quantity for streaming.

Before the reductions, Pixar had a staff of around 1,300 people. Top leadership remains unaffected by the layoffs. The move follows Disney CEO Bob Iger's mandate to prioritize quality over churning out content for streaming, a strategy that was emphasized by his predecessor, Bob Chapek.

Disney executives have repeatedly stated that creative teams across the company were stretched too thin in the rush to produce content for streaming platforms. This led to a decrease in quality, which the company aims to address through this restructuring.

Pixar employees were informed of the impending layoffs in January. While the news is undoubtedly difficult for those affected, the studio intends to maintain a staff of over 1,000 people. The layoffs primarily impact teams hired for Disney+ streaming projects that have now completed production.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has curtailed investment in streaming until it becomes profitable, expected by the end of 2024. Despite this, the studio remains committed to its creative endeavors, with original series like "Win or Lose" and the film "Inside Out 2" slated for release.

Pixar's restructuring marks a significant shift in Disney's approach to streaming, prioritizing quality over quantity. While challenging for employees, the move aims to ensure the studio's continued success and creativity in the entertainment industry.

X-Men '97 Season 2 in Post-Production, New Head Writer for Season 3

Jonathan EscuderoComment

X-Men '97 Season 2 is currently in post-production, and Marvel Studios is gearing up for Season 3 with a new head writer. Beau DeMayo, who created the show, will not be returning for Season 2 after his sudden departure, leaving fans with unanswered questions.

According to Brad Winderbaum, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the team will have a new head writer for Season 3, but they will still honor DeMayo's ideas for Season 2. Winderbaum praised Jacob Castorena, the show's director, as an "amazing architect" and credited him and the directing team, including Yonemura and Conley, for the show's visual storytelling.

Despite the change in leadership, Winderbaum emphasized that the team's mantra remains the same: to honor the comics and the original show. As long as they stay true to the source material, the creative pursuit will remain consistent.

Fans can look forward to Season 2's release and the new direction that Season 3 will take under the new head writer.

Marvel Studios Reduce Content Output: Quality Over Quantity

Jonathan EscuderoComment

Under the leadership of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Marvel Studios experienced a surge in content production following the launch of Disney+. This expansion, aimed at capitalizing on the streaming platform's popularity, led to a proliferation of TV shows and diluted the quality of the cinematic experience. Many film plots were segmented into episodic formats, a move that drew mixed reactions from the fanbase and resulted in a decline in box office performance.

However, amidst these challenges, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige remains unfazed. Embracing the idea of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) reclaiming its underdog status, Feige expresses his preference for surprising audiences and surpassing expectations, in an interview with Empire.

Feige says he’s comfortable with the MCU “being the underdog [again]. I prefer being able to surprise & exceed expectations”

Acknowledging the recent subdued response to some Marvel releases, director and producer Shawn Levy underscores the need for recalibration in the studio's approach.

“You’d have to live under a rock not to know that the last few Marvel movies have failed to ignite the world in the way that so many did,” added Shawn Levy

In response to these observations and in a bid to recalibrate the studio's content strategy, Bob Iger has announced a reduction in Marvel Studios' output. The new plan aims for a balance between quality and quantity, with a focus on delivering compelling narratives and memorable cinematic experiences. The revised content strategy includes:

1. Two to Three Movies per Year: By limiting the number of theatrical releases, Marvel Studios can allocate more resources to each project, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and a higher caliber of storytelling.

2. Two TV Shows per Year: While still investing in television productions, the studio will prioritize select projects to maintain the quality synonymous with the Marvel brand.

This strategic shift emphasizes a renewed commitment to excellence and a recognition of the importance of audience satisfaction. By prioritizing quality over quantity, Marvel Studios aims to reinvigorate audience enthusiasm and reclaim its position as a pioneer in the realm of superhero storytelling.

As the entertainment landscape continues to evolve, Marvel Studios remains steadfast in its mission to captivate audiences worldwide with captivating characters, compelling narratives, and groundbreaking cinematic experiences. With a refined content strategy in place, the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe promises to be as thrilling and unpredictable as ever.

However, contrary to fervent fan speculations, Esposito dashed hopes of portraying Professor X, hinting at a role that promises to exceed all expectations and arrive sooner than anticipated.

Esposito tantalizingly teased, "It's coming sooner rather than later," and added, "better than you can imagine," igniting a frenzy of speculation among Marvel aficionados worldwide.

With Marvel Studios' expansive roster of upcoming projects, the field of potential roles for Esposito is vast and varied. While the possibilities abound, a few contenders stand out prominently.

Amidst the plethora of projects on the horizon, the imminent arrivals of FANTASTIC FOUR and DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE offer compelling opportunities for Esposito's enigmatic portrayal.

Jonathan EscuderoComment

"The Maze Runner" is gearing up for a reboot!

Hollywood Reporter exclusively reveals that 20th Century Studios is dusting off the sci-fi action adventure franchise, which captivated audiences from 2014 to 2018 as a trilogy.

Negotiations are underway for Jack Paglen, renowned for his work on the Johnny Depp-starring sci-fi thriller "Transcendence," to take the reins in crafting the script for this fresh installment.

Sources confirm that the reboot is not a mere retread of the original tale, nor a direct sequel to the trilogy headlined by Dylan O'Brien and Kaya Scodelario.

Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Lee Stollman of Gotham Group, alongside Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen of Temple Hill, who helmed the production of the initial trilogy, are on board to produce the reboot. Additionally, Wes Ball, the mastermind behind the director's chair in the original trilogy, will also contribute as a producer, ensuring continuity and authenticity in the franchise's revival.

Based on the gripping novels penned by James Dashner, "The Maze Runner" follows a group of amnesiac teenagers thrust into a mysterious walled enclave known as the Glade. Beyond the safety of their walls lies a labyrinth teeming with lethal mechanical creatures, guarded by doors that seal shut each nightfall. As one newcomer unravels the secret to their survival, a gripping tale of resilience and rebellion unfolds.

The subsequent books and films expanded the narrative horizon, unveiling a dystopian realm rife with corrupt government agencies and nefarious corporations. With each installment, the stakes soared higher, delivering heart-pounding action and unrelenting suspense.

Notably, the inaugural film, produced by 20th Century Fox prior to its acquisition by Disney, proved to be a sleeper hit, grossing a staggering $348 million worldwide against a modest $35 million budget. This unexpected success underscored the enduring appeal and commercial viability of the franchise.

As the gears of production churn anew, anticipation mounts for what promises to be an exhilarating return to the enigmatic world of "The Maze Runner." Stay tuned to Dirt Sheet Radio for all the latest updates on this thrilling reboot.

Sources close to the production have confirmed Reeves' involvement in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, where he will breathe life into the enigmatic character Shadow. Known for his dark and edgy persona, Shadow serves as a compelling counterpart to the titular hero, Sonic, boasting powers that rival those of the iconic blue blur.

The announcement of Reeves' casting comes hot on the heels of Paramount's electrifying presentation at CinemaCon, where attendees were treated to a sneak peek of Sonic 3. Among the revelations was the return of Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, whose character arc takes an unexpected turn as he grapples with post-Sonic 2 blues before finding renewed purpose in the creation of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Shadow: A Complex Addition to the Sonic Universe:

First introduced in the 2001 video game Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow quickly became a fan favorite for his complex personality and formidable abilities. As the antithesis to Sonic, Shadow's inclusion in Sonic 3 promises to add depth and intrigue to the franchise, as audiences witness the clash between light and dark, hero and anti-hero.

With Keanu Reeves lending his voice to the iconic character Shadow, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is poised to deliver a thrilling new chapter in the beloved franchise. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of the film, Reeves' involvement adds an extra layer of excitement and intrigue, promising an unforgettable cinematic experience that pushes the boundaries of storytelling in the world of Sonic.
