It appears the future of the Alien franchise might lie in TV series. Could a change in format resurrect the fortunes of a failing franchise?

It appears Star Wars producers like telling stories in threes, as yet another trilogy is in the works.

As is usually the cast, Lucasfilm and Disney have been totally tight-lipped about the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX. But now some details may have leaked out of their seemingly airtight production.

The first full trailer for Disney's upcoming live-action Aladdin remake is here, revealing Will Smith as the Genie! And yes, he's blue!

For all the flack that Kingdom Hearts gets, it a series that knows what it is and unashamedly embraces its quirks and silliness. Sure, it has its fair share of melodrama but for Pete’s sake you’re a kid running around with Goofy and Donald Duck trying to save Disney themed worlds from evil monsters. It’s weird and it can be dumb…but hot damn do I love it.

The decade-long EA partnership with Disney has, to date, resulted in very little. There are a few mobile games, and two Battlefront titles, but just about every intriguing game set in the Star Wars universe has been canned. It’s left many wondering if Disney might be fed up with how fruitless the partnership has ben, and if we might get somebody else – like Disney themselves - making Star Wars games in the near future. The answer, however, is a very firm no.

As one of only four non-sequels to ever cross the $1 billion mark at the box office, it only makes sense that the 2016 animated movie from Disney is getting turned into a bigger franchise.

Disney has crafted itself into the face of family-friendly entertainment worldwide, so how does it deal with all the adult-oriented franchises it will either be acquiring with the Fox merger or have left over from the failed Netflix relationship?
