Stacey Snider

Here’s the other elephant in the room: Is Disney even done buying right now? After all, the company isn’t just battling current threats like Netflix and Amazon, but future ones like Apple.

One has to wonder if Disney is interested in spending the money required to help James Cameron see through his ambitious vision for Avatar, which has staked out four December release dates that would coincide with more than a few Star Wars films.

Hanks and Streep will play Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and publisher Kay Graham respectively. Amy Pascal is the lead producer on the project, which will be co-financed by 20th Century Fox and Amblin Entertainment.

Keep up with what’s happening in the industry with the inside information on who’s getting hired, promoted, and let-go. The shake-up continues at Viacom with changes at CBS and MTV, while Stacey Snider makes a huge move at Fox, and more!
