Here We Go Again… Rey Movie Allegedly “On Hold”…

Rumors are spreading (the supply appears to be DanielRPK on X who has a blended monitor report) that the Rey film is now on maintain. As a result of they nonetheless haven’t any script in any case this time and the therapies by author Steven Knight had been by no means met with approval by Kathleen Kennedy.

Make of that what you’ll… the supply appears to be somebody who at occasions is correct about issues, different occasions not a lot. However one factor is definite: the film that was supposed to start out filming in 2024 won’t start filming this yr.

If the upper ups at Disney have some sense left  – and earlier than you say something, they appear to have, given what we all know in regards to the manufacturing of Inside Out 2 and simply hours in the past it was revealed that Disney eliminates the CCO of their animation division, the animation studio that introduced the world such fantastic flops like Unusual World and Want. Jennifer Lee, the now former CCO, says she needs to give attention to filmmaking full time as a substitute, and she’s going to work on the subsequent two Frozen motion pictures… so she nonetheless has a job (on paper), however is now not in control of animation (Lee was mainly the Dave Filoni of Disney animation). Anyway, so if they’ve some sense left Disney will give the Rey film the Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy remedy. They need to know the way excessive the probabilities are {that a} film by an activist feminist director and a sequel to the sequels will bomb spectacularly. And Kennedy might have performed her final trump card with The Acolyte which was an outright catastrophe on Disney+. They let her do that pet mission of hers… and it really harmed Star Wars. This after all after Indiana Jones 5 solely not changing into the most important Disney film flop of all time as a result of The Marvels managed to carry out even worse.

Poor Daisy – she deserves higher
