Disney is set to dust off another of its classic theme park rides for the big screen treatment, with the studio planning a new movie version of Tower Of Terror. You might recall that Disney already took one shot at this with a Steve Guttenberg-starring TV movie back in 1997, but then again, you might not… In any case, the studio is keen to have another crack of the whip, with Big Fish writer John August having turned in a script based on the ride’s central premise. For those who haven’t visited the park itself, the set-up sees a group of guests entering the elevator of an old Hollywood hotel, and disappearing into the ether after it is struck by lightning. Spooky stuff. Despite the success of Pirates Of The Caribbean, Disney hasn’t really pushed too hard on adapting any of its other famous rides, with Haunted Mansion and Magic Kingdom reaching the development stage but going no further. It remains to be seen whether Tower Of Terror fares any better… Source http://www.gamesradar.com/

Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels Star Wars 1313 And Star Wars: First Assault Disney has laid off the staff of LucasArts and cancelled all current projects. Staff were informed of the shutdown this morning, according to a reliable Kotaku source. Some 150 people were laid off, and both of the studio's current projects—Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313—were cancelled. Disney will still use the LucasArts name to license games, but the studio is no more. Publicly, Disney is saying their current games could be licensed out to a different publisher or developer, but according to our source, that's unlikely. Our source says Lucas has pursued the option for "one or both games," but nothing happened. "With the teams now basically being dispersed I think both games are effectively dead forever," our source said. A second source also told Kotaku this afternoon that the chances of Lucas licensing out 1313 are very slim. The odds are "effectively zero," the source said. “After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," LucasArts parent company LucasFilm said in a statement. "As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.” This comes after weeks and months of rumors involving the studio, which was acquired by Disney last fall. In September, LucasArts put a freeze on all hiring and product announcements, which many staff saw as the beginning of the end. In February, we started hearing rumors that the studio might be shuttered. Today, it's official: the iconic development house is gone. read more here source
