La compra de MGM

Creo que por fin podemos dormir tanquilos

According to an unconfirmed report on the defamer.com website, the sale of MGM to Time Warner is complete.

'Spies are telling us that Time Warner officially purchased MGM today,' says the Hollywood scoop site. '...(with) internal discussion of the incredibly complicated integration... to start tomorrow.'

Buzz of a Time Warner takeover of MGM was reported by The Wall Street Journal in early September, and reports have continued to surface of an imminent deal between the two mega-studios. MGM had previously released a statement calling reports that it could sell for as high as $5 billion 'inaccurate.'

Time Warner has had shown interest in MGM before, as have other major studios -- including Sony, which was reportedly seriously considering a bid for MGM this past spring and summer. However, sources say that Sony was unable to come to final terms with its partners in the proposed investment.

Time Warner is very familiar with the MGM catalog of over 4,000 titles, as it had distribution rights to many of the films resulting from a brokered by Ted Turner in the 1980s.

There has been no official word of the deal between Time Warner and MGM as of yet.

Que ventajas veo de que MGM caiga en manos de TW en lugar de Sony?:

1.- No habrá espantosas "Ediciones especiales Fuckscreen", además de que los subs en español estarán garantizados
2.- ¿Que planes tiene Peter Jackson para después de King Kong?...¿no le agradaría aventarse el Hobbit? (ahora que MGM está posiblemente bajo el ala de TW, los derechos de distribución los podrá obtener New Line sin problemas)
3.- Un set de colección con los cortos de la Pantera Rosa y el Inspector como Dios manda (y con la calidad de los Golden Collection de WB)

Excelente
