On The Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day event of 2020, Kathleen Kennedy announced that Lucasfilm would be producing the movie adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s Young Adult novel “Children of Blood & Bone”, as a first venture into new IP. Little more than one year later, the project had failed at Disney, been taken over by Paramount; while Disney had abandoned all plans involving new IP at Lucasfilm, outside of Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Willow. What could have precipitated such a radical change in the span of just one year? In this video, we will begin by breaking down just that, as well as what we have been told about Kathleen Kennedy’s current level of influence at Lucasfilm now that Bob Iger is out of the company for good, before finally going through the rumors that Jon Favreau might be Disney’s new creative consultant, and how that might influence matters going forward.
