Why ‘Kathleen Kennedy fired’ is trending

Published

on

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has been rumored to have been “fired” following the underperformance of Indiana Jones 5.

 

 

It’s not Kennedy’s first time facing such a backlash from fans — she’s been in the spotlight a number of times for the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and a number of YouTube videos and social media posts have speculated on her company position.

It has been reported again that Kathleen Kennedy has been fired from Lucasfilm as a result of a tweet posted by @Thwipt_, who has a hit-and-miss history of Disney leaks, though previously correctly predicted which announcements would be made at D23 Expo 2022.

A comment by Thwipt that Kathleen Kennedy was leaving Lucasfilm quickly gained traction online.

This rumor was fueled further by Kamran Pasha, who claimed an insider at Disney had also reported strange Kennedy-related happenings.

In an interview on YouTube, Pasha said: “Apparently, someone at Disney put a block starting today, of two weeks paid leave … which is bizarre in and of itself, but bizarre happening on the day that Indiana Jones is released.”

Lucasfilm has not confirmed that Kathleen Kennedy has been “fired” from her position, despite these rumors.

Lucasfilm has been led by Kennedy since 2012.After George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to The Walt Disney Company in 2012, she was handpicked by him to handle the company’s operations.Kennedy produced several Star Wars films, including the new Star Wars trilogy.

A Star Wars story is also told through the standalone films Rogue One and Solo. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm’s most successful movie under Kennedy’s leadership, has been poorly received by fans.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
