via TheJamesMadison, a scooper says that Disney’s Rey Palpatine movie, to be directed by a hardcore feminist activist and neophyte diversity hire director, has been “suspended indefinitely,” which happens to most of Kaffeine Kennedy’s announced projects.
Now, LucasFilm is denying this, and claiming the film is still “upcoming.”
The problem with that is that we know LucasFilm has indefinitely suspended — shelved forever — a ton of projects which they never admit have been shelved. …
So when LucasFilm claims that the Rey Palpatine movie is “still in development,” I wonder: You mean, like Kevin Feige’s movie? Like Patty Jenkins’ movie? Like the Game of Thrones idiots’ trilogy?
[Ace also notes that the star of “She-Hulk,” which I poked fun at yesterday, is telling reporters that Disney shelved that series too. What gives? Bob Iger may be attempting to turn around the Titanic-like vessel of woke productions to avoid the shareholder iceberg, especially after taking a box-office beating on fare such as the pagan-endorsing “Wish.” Ace is more skeptical about Iger’s motivations, but Disney has poured hundreds of millions of production dollars into content that now may never see the light of a projector in a cinema. *Something* is clearly up at Mouse House. — Ed]
