Ousted Disney Head Dick Cook Looking For Funding For Family Movie Studio
Want to make family movies and have $625 million laying around? Then you can partner with former Disney executive Dick Cook and create your own studio. The former head of Disney, who was replaced in 2009 by Rich Ross, is reportedly "soliciting investors, including private-equity firms, hedge funds and wealthy individuals" to get money to start a new company which would, like Disney, focus on the lucrative family film business. Is this the first news is what will soon be the next major film studio? We'll have to wait and see. Thanks to Bloomberg (via The Wrap) for the news.
