Walt Disney Studios, DreamWorks reach deal

[shmedly123]

"The Walt Disney Co.'s motion picture arm said Monday it has agreed to a long-term exclusive distribution deal with Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks SKG movie studio after a similar agreement between DreamWorks and Universal Pictures fell apart last week.

Walt Disney Studios said Monday it will handle distribution and marketing for six live action DreamWorks films a year under its Touchstone Pictures brand beginning in 2010. The company did not disclose any financial details of the agreement."



I am keeping my fingers crossed that this might lead to the 'who framed roger rabbit' franchise being revived.

Well, Katzenberg's Dreamworks Animation is a separate company now, and is not involved at all in this deal. I'm not sure he's involved at all with SKG any more.
