ABC Turning Disney's 'Big Thunder Mountain' Ride Into A TV Show, Because Why Not?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:02:18 +0000

These days, there really is no way to know how well an established property can be adapted into a movie or TV show. For every 'Haunted Mansion' with Eddie Murphy or 'Battleship,' we have 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Transformers.' So while Disney's roller coaster 'Big Thunder Mountain' might not seem like the obvious choice to get its own TV show, ABC has set its sights on bringing the famed Western attraction to the small screen with a dramatic hour-long series. Will they succeed, or go off the rails?

Is 'Once Upon A Time' Adding Captain Jack Sparrow?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:30:48 +0000

Part of the appeal of ABC's fairytale drama 'Once Upon A Time' lies in its inclusion of multiple fairytale characters, from Disney to Grimm, all in one story. The second season alone has featured the introductions of Mulan, Captain Hook and Lancelot, with the potential for others such as the Aladdin characters going forward, but what, if any characters are out of bounds? Could the series manage to include even recent Disney creations, like 'Pirates of the Caribbean's' Jack Sparrow?

Not much concrete or confirmed info is known about Lady Gaga‘s forthcoming new album other than it’s called ‘ARTPOP‘ and that it may include a song called ‘Princess Die.’ Oh, and it’ll lack the maturity that defined ‘Born This Way.’ So we do know some stuff.
