Marketing prexy Carney departs Disney

CarneyWith MT Carney's quiet exit as Disney president of worldwide marketing, the big question is how the studio plans to fill the position. Disney declined to comment Sunday, but sources said the departure is amicable. When Carney was hired in April 2010, skeptics questioned whether a person without a background in studio marketing could fill the role. Rumors of her exit began almost immediately, but studio execs repeatedly said they were happy with her work. Since she signed on, "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides" passed $1 billion worldwide, while "Cars 2" hit more than $500 million. An elaborate campaign for the imminent "John Carter" is already in place, spearheaded by Carney.Carney let the studio know several months ago that she wanted to move back to NY, where she worked in the advertising biz and founded the U.S. offices of ad shop Naked. Her family also lives in Gotham. In hiring Carney, studio chief Rich Ross turned to an outsider after conducting an exhaustive search both in Hollywood and on Madison Avenue to market Disney and DreamWorks' films. So the question is whether he will look for another outsider, someone with film-marketing background, or promote from within. Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com

'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace': The Reviews Were In!

To contact us Click HERE
"Star Wars: Episode I" returns to theaters today, in 3D. But lets flash back for a few moments to May 19th, 1999 the day The Phantom Menace was originally released. If you were a die-hard Star Wars fan, like I was, you were going to see this movie regardless of what the critics wrote about it. You ached to hear, once again, that familiar yet exciting 20th Century Fox fanfare before reading the opening crawl. You may have camped out on a dirty sidewalk for hours, days, weeks even, just so you could be one of the first to experience it. But if you werent one of those fans, you might have waited and checked out the reviews before making the decision to see The Phantom Menace. The following is a sampling of what youd have read. The Story The plot has something to do with a trade embargo being waged against a small planet called Naboo, an embargo that turns out to be a disguise for a planned full-scale invasion. Were never told what this tiny planet could possibly be worth to the enormous Trade Federation (the way we understand, in the first Star Wars, what the baddies stand to gain from the elimination of the rebel forces), so the storys basic conflict has no weight. Charles Taylor, Salon.com The Look There are new places here--new kinds of places. Consider the underwater cities, floating in their transparent membranes. The Senate chamber, a vast sphere with senators arrayed along the inside walls, and speakers floating on pods in the center. And other places: the cityscape with the waterfall that has a dizzying descent through space. And the other cities: one city Venetian, with canals, another looking like a hothouse version of imperial Rome, and a third that seems to have grown out of desert sands. Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The Gungan Yoda puts in a cameo, but the film's designated alien is Jar Jar Binks, a rabbit-eared ambulatory lizard whose pidgin English degenerates from pseudo-Caribbean patois to Teletubby gurgle. (Although Jar Jar can be construed as grotesquely Third World and the fish faces talk like Fu Manchu, the most blatant ethnic stereotype is the hook-nosed merchant insect who owns young Anakin.) Jar Jar and his fellow Gungans suck the oxygen out of every scene; their human costars seem understandably asphyxiated. J. Hoberman, The Village Voice The Kid Based on what we see here, it doesn't seem like such an ineffable mystery that this kid will end up a wheezing, intergalactic power-mongering control freak. A slave boy who already fashions himself a Jedi knight, Anakin is a precocious brat -- the kind of kid who, in our own galaxy, might commandeer a playground and run everybody else off the jungle gym. If the psychological richness of the Star Wars movies is grounded in Darth Vader's movement in and out of the light, then it may be high time to create a new myth -- i.e., a new franchise. Peter Rainer, NY Magazine The Final Word Nothing could live up to the hype of this film. Nothing. "Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace" is a movie. It's not the Second Coming. It's not even the First Coming, depending on your religious stance. It's just a movie. ... And while I'm saddened to report that it's a deeply flawed film in terms of both story line and character development, I'm happy to note that visually it's a marvel.

Unfortunately, while the distribution of IS systems to every nation on Earth HAS ushered in a new era of peace, the fact that only women have thus far been able to pilot the Stratos systems has sent the relationship between the XX and XY-chromosomed halves of the human race into a spiraling tailspin!

So when fifteen-year-old Ichika Orimura is suddenly discovered to be the first male with the ability to control an IS, whatever plans he might have had for his own future are tossed out the window even as he's thrown to the wolves and enrolled at the otherwise entirely female Infinite Stratos Academy by order of the Japanese government!

William Brent Bell Away And Off To The Vatican

Thriller time for Demon Inside directorGiven that he's just aided to influence a $millions of allotted found footage horror movie (The Demon Inside) to strong box office success in the united states, director William Brent Bell is probably not too surprised being fielding plenty of job offers at this time around. And he's already stored in a single deal, with Warner Bros. employing him to direct conspiracy thriller The Vatican. While Demon Inside will be a horror with religious overtones, Vatican will apparently whack together conspiracy ideas while using papal tradition. But you will notice some parallels, while using new movie including some found footage elements alongside classical plot lines.Hardly anything else is well known in regards to the movie aside from author David Cohen pitching it for the studio. Among his earlier scripts, Nobody Lives, was already chugging its way through publish-production with Like Evans inside the lead. More youthful crowd showed up round the 2011 Black List with Frankenstein-inspired tale Subject Zero, which sees a investigator developing a new drug to produce his boy to existence, only to to produce spook epidemic all over the world. We doubt you will notice many flesh-eating beasties rampaging using the Pope's gaff in Vatican, but we live in hope...

And yet, despite all the growing Takumi does, this season still feels like a step down, both from what comes before and what follows. Why is that? Ironically, because Takumi does all that growing. While impressive, Takumi's dark night of the soul isn't as impressive as his races. The hard truth is that neither growth nor character, much less teen drama or romantic heartbreak, is what Initial D is about. Initial D is about racing, nothing more. Anything that distracts from that, no matter how solidly done, is to the show's detriment. And unfortunately, Takumi's evolution distracts, and mightily. Aside from a few who-cares side battles there are only three real races in the entire season, and one of them—the mid-season climax—is so laden with non-race dramatic baggage that it never really takes off before it comes crashing to an end. That's a big problem. Racing is Initial D's lifeblood, and without it the show is a shadow of the pulse-pounding adrenaline monster that it is at its street-racin' best.

That is nowhere so clear as during the two races that do take off. Carefully built to and tensely staged, they're two immense testosterone highs in a season too often marked by emotional lows. The first is a classic beat-the-bad-guys battle and the second a cathartic blowing off of a long-building head of steam, and like the best of the series' races each one has you screaming downhill right along with Takumi and his scrappy little tofumobile. It's hard not to chafe when the show turns away from that to wallow in Takumi's personal life. The extra depth is nice, but deep down we don't want to see Takumi mature or triumph over adversity. We want to see him hit the road and peel out in a puddle of some punk's leftover pride.

The plot also has a bad habit of jumping around a lot, and the concept of transition scenes seems foreign to the production; it just flat-out skips ahead to the next critical moment, without showing at all how the characters got there. This is, of course, a reflection of the content being assembled from highlight scenes from throughout the game, but other game adaptations have shown that it all can be put together with a much better flow than it has. And what's the deal with the weird naming conventions? A character named Mint? And how can you take seriously a series with a character named Claus T. Lester?

No fan of the game could be disappointed with the visuals, which beautifully portrays key cast members with well-rendered designs that may be cut from standard fantasy molds but are sharp nonetheless. A vivid palette of colors and nice background art contributes to the visual appeal, although it often seems like some kind of filter has been place over the artwork to mute the colors somewhat. Magical effects are suitably flashy, as is the animation in battle scenes, although inconsistencies can be seen in some scenes where Arche is flying around on her broom. The action/violence graphic content remains at a PG-13 level, and nary a hint of fan service is to be seen anywhere.

The musical score heavily borrows and adapts themes from across a wide range of fantasy and action movies and games, as well as other fantasy and sci-fi anime titles; veteran fans could almost make a game of identifying what theme originates from where. It certainly does its job at reinforcing the tone of any given scene, although it sometimes comes across too strongly in key drama and action scenes. Its theme songs, both beautifully performed by seiyuu Masami Suzuki, deserve special mention. The opener “Yume no Hate” sounds like what you'd get if you crossed certain selections from the soundtracks of Titanic and Conan the Barbarian and added Japanese vocals to it, but it works extremely well and is as perfectly-synched with its visuals as any opener in recent memory. The closer “Priere” is a more purely graceful and soaring love song, but while its visuals are more ordinary it is nonetheless the equal in vocal quality of the opener. (For both, the regular visuals are replaced by storyline scenes during the final episode.) The soundtrack is worth purchasing for those two songs alone.

Geneon turned to Bang Zoom! for the English dub, which was scripted and directed by voice actor Patrick Seitz (who also voices Dhaos). The English script remains faithful enough that it shouldn't provoke much complaint, with the only noticeable error being a substantial discrepancy between the dub and subtitles on the number of enemy forces at one point. Most of the principal English vocals hit the mark, with Jennifer Sekiguchi turning in another sterling performance in impressively capturing Arche's pitch and playful spirit; yes, this is the same VA who did such a wonderful job as Guu in Haré+Guu. The one weak point in key roles is David Vincent's occasionally stiff performance as Chester, but it isn't a major detriment.

All of the on-disc Extras are standard fare: clean opener and closer, company previews, and a substantial art gallery. Both the inside of the cover and an additional insert contain bonus artwork.

Spreading the story out over a couple more episodes may have allowed for a smoother-flowing story and greater character development, but the series does pack enough action and pleasing visuals to keep a viewer's interest, and its soundtrack may be worthy of independent purchase. It is an entertaining, if forgettable, production.
