ABC Family buys TV rights to "Alice in Wonderland"

Does Disney have to buy the rights to itself?

Along with a monster box office haul in its opening weekend, Walt Disney Pictures’ “Alice in Wonderland” has bagged a TV deal.

Sibling cable network ABC Family has acquired the rights to Tim Burton’s 3D fantasy in a deal that will kick off in 2012.

It also bought the rights to “The Blind Side,” for which Sandra Bullock won an Oscar on Sunday. The drama will also premiere in 2012.

“Alice” earned $116.1 million during its first three days of release across North America, according to final data issued Monday, setting a new record for a film opening in the traditionally slow first quarter.

The cable network has not decided whether it would telecast the movie in 3D or 2D. Financials were not disclosed, but an opening of that caliber normally fetches about $24 million. ABC Family’s small slate of acquired features also includes the “Harry Potter” franchise.

About Ponyo:

Welcome to a world where anything is possible! Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (2002, Best Animated Feature, “Spirited Away”) and legendary filmmaker John Lasseter together with Disney bring to life a heartwarming and imaginative telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale “The Little Mermaid.” A young boy named Sosuke rescues a goldfish named Ponyo, and they embark on a fantastic journey of friendship and discovery before Ponyo’s father, a powerful sorcerer, forces her to return to her home in the sea. But Ponyo’s desire to be human upsets the delicate balance of nature and triggers a gigantic storm. Only Ponyo’s mother, a beautiful sea goddess, can restore nature’s balance and make Ponyo’s dreams come true. “Ponyo” will delight your family with its magnificent animation and timeless story.

Will Marc Webb Be Teaming Up With Avatar Team For Spider-Man Reboot?

Will Marc Webb Be Teaming Up With Avatar Team For Spider-Man Reboot?

Marc Webb was at the Independent Spirit Awards last week and MTV news caught up with him to discuss the Spider-Man reboot. While discussing the fact it will be in 3-D, Marc drops the bombshell that he had met with James Cameron and his producing partner Jon Landau about the best way to bring “Spider-Man” into the 3-D realm. Here is what he had to say in regards to them meeting.

“I talked to James and Jon a little bit,” he confirmed. “It’s such an enormous undertaking. I’d like to talk to those guys more. They’re fantastic representatives for 3-D and we’ll be talking more about that.” “In the coming weeks, more will unfold”

Webb went on give some very vague answers about Joseph Gordon-Levitt being considered as Peter Parker, and whether the story would revolve around him as a teenager. Webb’s response to both of these questions was simply “We’re casting a wide net. That’s really all i can say at this point”. It’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t want to screw up his first huge gig by dropping any info before he is supposed to. Its going to be interested to see if he pulls some of the staff from “Avatar” or just goes at the 3-D portions with his own crew.
