Disney Gets Their Hands Dirty With Stan Lee's Pow! Entertainment

As Disney was sealing its deal with Marvel Entertainment on Thursday, it was also expanding its ties with POW! Entertainment, the company led by the man who once ran Marvel and co-created many of its signature characters, Stan Lee.

Disney is acquiring a 10% stake of POW! for $2.5 million. It is also acquiring "enhanced rights" to the company's creative side as well as exclusive consulting services. It was not clear what the rights and services entailed or the reason for expanding its relationship with POW!

Disney signed a first-look arrangement with POW! in 2007. Although no projects have come to fruition on the feature side, several are in development, including lighthearted mystery tale "Nick Ratchett," action-adventure project "Blaze" and one called "Tigress." POW! is also working on several projects for the home entertainment sector.

On Thursday, Marvel stockholders approved the company's plan to merge Marvel Entertainment with Disney, paving the way for Marvel to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Disney. Marvel estimates the merger's value at $4.3 billion. (The completed merger is still subject to conditions in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed by Disney with the SEC on Dec. 2.)

The Disney-POW! deal was also sealed Thursday.

Disney may be hoping to tap in to Lee's creative side to create concepts and stories that will work across several platforms, from gaming to the company's young male-skewing Disney XD channel. It may also hope to tap into his knowledge of the Marvel Universe, though Lee hasn't been involved with Marvel's comic books since the early 1990s.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

By
If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
