From that article:
quote:
For example, "Spider-Man 4," set for release in 2011, is being made with Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures; "Iron Man 2" will be distributed by Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures next year; and the upcoming "X-Men Origins: Magneto" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2," both due in 2011, are to be distributed by News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2? SERIOUSLY? Surely someone's been watching Punk'd too much recently?

"For example, Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures is developing the next three "Spider-Man" sequels, starting with "Spider-Man 4" set for a May 2011 release. News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox has the long-term movie rights to the "X-Men," "Fantastic Four," "Silver Surfer" and "Daredevil" franchises.
Both studios maintain those rights in perpetuity unless they fail to make more movies.
Separately, Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures has a five-picture distribution deal for Marvel-made movies, the first of which will be "Iron Man 2," set for release next May. Paramount said it expects to continue working with Marvel and Disney".
So, who does that leave? Quite a bit already taken.
That said, Disney should feel less foolish than, for example, Warn Bros., who allowed the Salkinds 25 years of control of Superman with no questions asked or requirement to use the property. The Chicago Herald Tribune ran into similar problems with Warren Beatty and Dick Tracy. |

Still looking for bidders on Charlton Comics.

I think DC owns all of Charlton's old characters (Captain Atom, etc). Which means it's all in Warner Brothers' hands.
