Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc.

En clara respuesta a la compra Marvel por parte de Disney en DC Comics se ponen las pilas y bien a hacer una gran reestructuración de DC Comics, creando DC Entertainment.

El cambio inmediato es el de Paul Levitz, (osea la primer cabeza en rodar ) dejando de ser el Presidente de la DC pasando a ser el hombre de consulta constante de la nueva Presidente Diane Nelson, ya no de DC Comics sino de DC Entertainment. Estos cambios se darán de modo paulatino y mientras sea necesario Levitz seguirá a cargo de DC.

Con esto, Paul Levitz volverá a su tarea como escritor, que abandonó en gran medida por sus responsabilidades en los altos mandos de DC. La primera tarea de Levitz como guionista será Adventure Comics.

Citación :: WARNER BROS. CREATES DC ENTERTAINMENT

Diane Nelson to Serve as President, DC Entertainment

Paul Levitz to Segue from President & Publisher of DC Comics

To Writer, Contributing Editor and Overall Consultant to DC Entertainment

(Dateline – Burbank, CA) Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (WBEI) has created DC Entertainment Inc., a new company founded to fully realize the power and value of the DC Comics brand and characters across all media and platforms, to be run by Diane Nelson, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, and Alan Horn, President & COO, Warner Bros.

DC Entertainment, a separate division of WBEI, will be charged with strategically integrating the DC Comics business, brand and characters deeply into Warner Bros. Entertainment and all its content and distribution businesses. DC Entertainment, which will work with each of the Warner Bros. divisions, will also tap into the tremendous expertise the Studio has in building and sustaining franchises and prioritize DC properties as key titles and growth drivers across all of the Studio, including feature films, television, interactive entertainment, direct-to-consumer platforms and consumer products. The DC Comics publishing business will remain the cornerstone of DC Entertainment, releasing approximately 90 comic books through its various imprints and 30 graphic novels a month and continuing to build on its creative leadership in the comic book industry.

In her new role, Nelson will report to Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, in order to best capitalize on DC Entertainment’s theatrical development and production activities and their importance to drive its overall business with each of the divisions of Warner Bros.

Nelson will bring her expertise and more than 20 years’ experience in creative brand management, strategic marketing and content development and production to ensuring DC Entertainment’s dual mission of marshalling Warner Bros.’ resources to maximize the potential of the DC brand while remaining respectful of and collaborative with creators, talent, fans and source material. Additionally, Nelson will continue to oversee the franchise management of the Harry Potter property, which she has done since 2000, and also continue to represent the Studio’s interests with the author of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling. Nelson will segue from her post as President, Warner Premiere but maintain oversight responsibilities of that division. (An executive succession plan for Warner Premiere will be announced shortly.)

Paul Levitz, who has served as President & Publisher of DC Comics since 2002, will segue from that role to return to his roots as a writer for DC and become a contributing editor and overall consultant to DCE. This transition will take place as expeditiously as possible without disrupting DC’s business operations.

In his new role, Levitz will be called upon for his deep knowledge and more than three-decade history with DC Comics, both as a comic creator and an executive. Besides serving as a writer on a number of DC Comics titles, he will be a contributing editor and consultant to DC Entertainment on projects in various media. Additionally, he will consult as needed on the transition and integration of the DC Comics organization into DC Entertainment and will utilize his unique experience, knowledge and relationships with the comics industry’s creative community to help achieve DC Entertainment’s goal of maximizing the value of DC properties. Further, Levitz will advise DC Entertainment on creative and rights-holder relationships, in particular regarding the legacy relationships that have been a part of DC Comics for decades.

Widely recognized and respected for his support of writers, artists and creators in the comics industry, Levitz is best known creatively for his work with DC Comics, having written most of the classic DC characters, including Batman, Wonder Woman and the Superman newspaper strip. At Comicon International in 2008, Levitz was awarded the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award as part of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, the only industry executive ever so honored.

“DC Comics and its super hero characters are truly touchstones of popular culture, and the formation of DC Entertainment is a major step in our company’s efforts to realize the full potential of this incredible wellspring of creative properties,” said Meyer. “Diane knows our studio as a creative executive, a marketer and a senior manager, and this varied background will help her effectively and creatively integrate the DC brand and properties across all our businesses. We’re also thrilled that Paul will remain involved with DC and we’ll be able to tap his expertise to help us reach our goals for this new business.”

“It’s no secret that DC has myriad rich and untapped possibilities from its deep library of iconic and lesser-known characters,” said Horn. “While we’ve had great success in films and television, the formation of DC Entertainment will help us to bring more DC properties across additional platforms to fans around the world, while maintaining brand integrity and authenticity. Diane is a terrific choice to lead DC Entertainment, and with Paul in his new role as a valued consultant and contributing editor, both our company and comic fans win.”

“Based on the great success we’ve had working with DC Comics to create some of the most popular and successful super hero films of all time, I’ve long believed that there was much more we could do across all of Warner Bros.’ businesses with this great body of characters and stories,” said Robinov. “The prioritization of DC and the creation of DC Entertainment is a great opportunity that reaches far beyond the film group. There are endless creative possibilities to build upon the many significant successes already achieved by my colleagues Kevin Tsujihara and the Home Entertainment Group in the videogame, home video and direct-to-platform arenas and Bruce Rosenblum and the Television Group in live-action, animated and digital series. Collectively, we have the ability to grow a body of properties highlighting the iconic characters and the diversity of the creative output of DC Comics.”

“The founding of DC Entertainment fully recognizes our desire to provide both the DC properties and fans the type of content that is only possible through a concerted cross-company, multi-platform effort,” said Nelson. “DC Entertainment will help us to formally take the great working relationships between DC Comics and various Warner Bros. businesses to the next level in order to maximize every opportunity to bring DC’s unrivalled collection of titles and characters to life.”

“After so many roles at DC, it’s exciting to look forward to focusing on my writing and being able to remain a part of the company I love as it grows into its next stage,” said Levitz. “It’s a new golden age for comics and DC’s great characters, and I hope my new position will allow me to contribute to that magic time.”

DC Comics will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2010 (NEW FUN COMICS #1, the first DC comic, began publishing in 1935), at which time more explicit details regarding DC Entertainment’s corporate and management structure, film and content release slate, creative roster and business objectives will be unveiled at a multi-faceted anniversary celebration and press conference in the first quarter of the year.

Current DC properties in development and/or production at Warner Bros. Entertainment include:

– “Human Target” is being produced by Warner Bros. Television for a mid-season debut on Fox.

– “Midnight Mass” is in series development at Warner Bros. Television for consideration for the 2010-11 season.

– “Jonah Hex,” Warner Bros. Pictures’ supernatural Western starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich, recently wrapped production in Louisiana.

– “The Losers,” Dark Castle/Warner Bros. Pictures’ action-adventure drama starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans, began principal photography mid-July in Puerto Rico.

– “The Green Lantern,” Warner Bros. Pictures’ next big superhero tentpole release, recently cast Ryan Reynolds as the titular character. The film has a projected second quarter 2011 release date.

– “Lobo,” based on the DC Comics anti-hero, has Guy Ritchie attached as a director; Joel Silver, Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona are producing for Silver Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures.

– Warner Premiere’s direct-to-platform DVD animated release of “Green Lantern: First Flight” debuted July 28.

– Warner Bros. Animation currently produces “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” which airs on Cartoon Network.

– Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released “Batman: Arkham Asylum” on August 25, a dark, action packed videogame adventure for Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows.

Prior to being named President, DC Entertainment, Nelson most recently served as President, Warner Premiere since its founding in 2006. Warner Premiere is a Studio-based production company which develops and produces high-quality, direct-to-DVD and short-form digital content, including the highly successful line of DC Universe animated DVD titles, and also pioneered the development of the motion comics category. Under Nelson’s leadership, Warner Premiere functions as a full-service production entity with its own resources and release schedule, furthering the Studio’s mandate of being a destination for both established and up-and-coming talent to create stand-alone properties as well as experiment in new media.

Before that, Nelson served as Executive Vice President, Global Brand Management, Warner Bros. Entertainment, with the primary responsibility of working cross-divisionally and throughout Time Warner to maximize and optimize all the various windows and outlets available to the Studio’s signature franchises, brands and event properties on a global basis. In this post, Nelson’s primary focus was the management of the Harry Potter brand, which she has overseen since the brand’s launch at the Studio in 1999. These efforts have helped drive the success of the brand to become the most successful film franchise of all time, as well as a respected consumer property that has generated billions of dollars for the Studio.

At Global Brand Management, Nelson and her team of more than 15 employees worked in all media and platforms to support a number of other key franchise properties, including “The Matrix Reloaded,” “The Matrix Revolutions,” “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight,” “Happy Feet,” “Polar Express” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” among others.

Prior to overseeing Global Brand Management, Nelson had served as Executive Vice President, Domestic Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures. Nelson rose quickly through the ranks, having also served as Senior Vice President, Domestic Marketing, Warner Bros. Pictures and prior to that, Senior Vice President, Family Entertainment, Warner Bros. Corporate Worldwide Marketing and Planning. She was also Vice President, Worldwide Corporate Promotions, a post to which she was promoted in March 1998, after joining the Studio in September 1996 as Director of Worldwide Corporate Promotions.

Nelson came to the Studio from Walt Disney Records, where she served as Director of National Promotions. She is a graduate of Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Communications.

La medida apunta principalmente a la maximización de éxitos y ganancias de los productos de DC, en todos los medios fuera de los cómics, que seguiran siendo la base de la empresa. Respecto a cómics, en tanto Levitz siga teniendo voz en las cuestiones editoriales, estos no sufrirán modificaciones importantes. Aunque en el corto plazo no viviremos grandes cambios, estamos ante el inicio de algo nuevo.

Carta de la nueva Presidente de DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson:

Spoiler:

Cabe notar que, tanto en la nota de prensa como en la carta de Diane Nelson , se enfatizan dos cuestiones: la expansión consistente de las propiedades de DC a todos los medios posibles (lógiacamente, y como se dijo antes, con los cómics como base) y el 75º aniversario de DC que se celebrará en 2010. Para tener en cuenta, ya que sin dudas será algo que tendrá consecuencias relativamente inmediatas.

¿QUE NOS DEPARARA EL FUTURO PROXIMO?

SERIES ANIMADAS ...
PELICULAS...
SERIES LIVE ACCION.....

SOLO EL TIEMPO LO DIRA ESPERO QUE SEA PARA BIEN....

Hola Teorico, pues no se que pensar, sinceramente. Me hubiera encantado que DC se transformará para que tomara el control de las franquicias cinematográficas, pero mucho me temo que este cambio tiene su base en cortar cabezas para poner otras y poco más. Este tipo de cosas deberían ir acompañadas de fechas para nuevos proyectos. De este tema no hay nada de nada.

Ojalá esto sirva para que se pongan las pilas y preparen los proyectos cinematográficos de la forma más ordenada y eficiente posible.

Le daremos un voto de confianza a la maltrecha trayectoria cinematográfica de DC ya que la de comics sigue y seguirá por sus cauces habituales (Crisis tras Crisis creando y destruyendo Multiversos, jajajajajaja).

Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc.

Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc. Diane Nelson al frente con Paul Levitz como presidente de DC Comics.

Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc. Bdsdcwarner

La idea es clara, DC Entertainment Inc. será una compañía con autonomía propia e independiente de Warner Bros., y se encargará de llevar a buen puerto todos los proyectos, cinematográficos, televisivos y de otros medios, que se basen en personajes del universo DC. DC Comics seguirá como hasta ahora con su ritmo de publicación.

Como curiosidad la verdaderamente corta lista de proyectos basados en propiedades de DC que tiene ahora activas Warner Bros.: la serie de televisión "Human Target" (2010), la también serie "Midnight Mass", Jonah Hex, The Losers (2010), The Green Lantern, Lobo (2011), la película de animación "Green Lantern: First Flight" (2009), la serie de animación "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (2008-¿?) y el videojuego romperecords "Batman: Arkham Asylum".

Pues nada, ya lo dice el dicho: "culo veo culo quiero". Si no estábamos contentos con la inesperada compra de Marvel Entertainment Inc. por parte de The Walt Disney Company, hoy Deadline Hollywood nos pone en alerta sobre los cambios estructurales que Paul Levitz, nuevo presidente de Warner Bros. Pictures Group desde hace unas semanas, ha planeado para DC Comics.

Ojo, estos cambios no se producen a raíz de la sorprendente compra de su "enemiga" en esto del mercado del cómic. No, todo llevaba maquinándose desde hace mucho tiempo. El tema es que Levitz quiere el poder y junto a él se sentará a los mandos Diane Nelson. La sorpresa llega cuando Nikki Finke indica que el tío Paul ha llamado a productores como Charles Roven, Joel Silver y Akiva Goldsman para reclamar lo que es de Warner… el control sobre importantes personajes como Wonder Woman, The Flash, etc.

El plan de Paul Levitz es muy claro, limitar el número de manos que toquen las franquicias para evitar desmadres y tejemanejes varios. De paso se hace con el control total del universo DC, de sus personajes y de sus posibles exploraciones en otros mercados audiovisuales. Anota Deadline Hollywood, y esto podría apuntar a preocupante según como se mire, que pese a indicarles a los productores que les devolverían los proyectos para continuar su desarrollo, la cosa va más allá y parece ser que más de uno dirá adiós al trabajo de muchos años.

Levitz / Nelson

Paul Levitz, hasta ahora presidente de DC Comics, seguirá en Warner Bros. pero tendrá que rendir cuentas siempre ante el nuevo presidente. Una de sus mayores funciones hasta el momento cae ahora en manos de Diane Nelson, una brillante profesional que ha gestionado desde el 2000 el salto de Harry Potter a todos los dispositivos habidos y por haber. Ahora su nuevo reto es DC Comics.

El pasado que Paul Levitz y Diane Nelson intentarán hacer olvidar es el legado de Jeff Robinov y Alan Horn. De sus manos surgieron grandes errores comerciales como el de Watchmen (2009), rodar una película sin tener los derechos sobre lo que se iba a adaptar es incomprensible, pero el gran agujero negro en la carrera de estos dos profesionales es haber postergado eternamente y sin visos de futuro posible la explotación de los iconos de DC como Wonder Woman, The Flash, Liga de la Justicia, Green Lantern o incluso Superman. ¿Qué han logrado afianzar? Pues el retorno de Batman… aquí si que no se les puede toser, pero del resto nada de nada. En cuanto a Jonah Hex (2010) de Jimmy Hayward o la inminente The Green Lantern (2011) de Martin Campbell, pues parece ser que no han sido suficiente justificación para una década de despropósitos y más viendo lo que sus vecinos de Marvel han logrado… autofinanciar sus propias películas, cosa que DC no podría ni soñar en estos momentos.

Warner Bros. Crea DC Entertainment

"The War Has Begun…" Magneto dixit.

Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc. Dccomicslogoy

Ea, pues ya tenemos preparado el campo de batalla al completo. Golpe de efecto de Warner Bros a la industria comiquera-cinematográfica.

Según comunicado oficial de WB a los distintos medios de comunicación, ha creado oficialmente el sello DC Entertainment. En dicho comunicado se hace referencia a los títulos que se encuentran actualmente en desarrollo:

Human Target, como serie de Tv.

Midnight Mass (¿?) como serie televisiva para la temporada 2010-11.

Jonah Hex.

[b]The Losers.[/b]

Green Lantern.

Lobo (confirmando el fichaje de Guy Ritchie).

Batman: The Brave And The Bold (emitiéndose actualmente en Cartoon Network).

Y por supuesto sin noticias de Batman 3, lo nuevo de Superman (antes que los derechos vuelvan a manos de los herederos de Siegel) o de Wonder Woman…

Era algo más que esperable viendo los últimos movimientos de WB, entre nueos proyectos, fichajes de guionistas de la Distinguida Competencia como asesores, etc…

Lo interesante será ver ahora esa lucha entre ambas casas (Disney-Marvel y WB-DC), y si DC hará como Marvel, e intentará unificar el universo comiquero en la pantalla grande. Está claro que todo apunta a una franquicia de la JLA en un futuro no muy lejano… Es más, en breve segurísimo que tenemos importantes noticias de futuros proyectos relacionados con los personajes de DC.

Hola a todos,

Os linko la entrevista que MTV ha realizado a la nueva jefa de la DC Entertainment. En resumen, ella comenta que quieren potenciar los personajes de Vertigo y que quieren potenciar el talento de los escritores de comics (Geoff, Grant, Marv,..) para dirigir sus proyectos.

Es interesante remarcar la siguiente frase, por que es la única que hace alusión a nuestro personaje preferido:

"My hope is that, through that focus and coordination, all of the businesses of Warner Brothers and Time Warner have greater opportunities to work with the characters and stories that are part of the DC library—both the big ones that we all know and, equally importantly, the ones we might not know who would lend themselves well to new brands."

Personalmente tengo vagas esperanzas de que Warner se decida a poner en marcha un nuevo proyecto cinematográfico sobre Superman pese a la cración de la nueva empresa DC Entertaiment Inc. que pretende potenciar el desarrollo de los personaje que componen el universo DC.

En mi opinión, la creación de esta nueva empresa ha sido simplemente una estrategia comercial pero no creo que el cambio de directivos conlleve un cambio en la política de toma de decisiones dentro de de Warner Bros.

Personalmente creo que Warner y DC están tirando manotazos de ahogado, esto es una reforma más de formas que de fondo, no necesitaban crear ninguna companía nueva u aparte, solo necesitan tener gente más capaz y pensar bien las cosas, y no estar intentando hacer sin entender del todo, lo que otros hacen. Cada vez que alguna dificultad o un proyecto (están llenos pero no concretan ninguno) cinematográfico se cae, me viene enseguida a la mente la forma de pensar que ya Kevin Smith revelo acerca de los ejecutivos de la Warner, porque no nos engañemos, no era solo John Petters el desvariado allí, fíjense como relata también las reuniones con los ejecutivos, crease o no así son la mayoría y es por eso que las cosas están como están. Son gente que no sabe nada de nada, pero están allí vaya a saber porque, a mi me toco tratar con ejecutivos de una marca muy grande de maizena, si supieran el tiempo y el dinero que le hicieron gastar a la compañía con un proyecto que desde el vamos era totalmente absurdo y los disparates que exigían no lo creerían y así son la mayoría, por lo único que pueden hacer negocios es porque tienen a disposición mucho dinero, no porque sepan hacer las cosas, si a esa gente les das el dinero que tendría cualquier pequeño inversor, y que si no les va bien ene ese negocio se termina todo, la mayoría quedaría en la quiebra..

El imperio Warner contraataca: Dc Entertainment

¿Creias que DC estaba acabada? ¿Qué había sucumbido ante la poderosa alianza rebelde Disney/Marvel? Pues no señor, Warner contraataca y convierte a DC Comics en DC Entertainment. ¿A qué ahora mola más?

Warner Bros. crea DC Entertainment Inc. Braveandbold

Pues eso, DC ha anunciado a bombo y platillo que va a cambiar de nombre, que va a poner jefes nuevos y que a partir de ahora todo va a ser más emocionante y más excitante y más todos los antes que se os ocurran. Vamos, que DC ahora va a arrasar, no como antes, que solo se dedicaba al triste negocio de vender tebeos. Pringados.

¿Y a mi que me importa?, se pregunta el astuto lector. Pero hombre de dios, con la cantidad de millocenjos que se mueven por las alturas y tu preocupándote por una misera grapa. A ver, fijate bien en el cambio de título, ¿qué palabra ha desaparecido? ¡COMICS! En efecto, se ha eliminado la palabra maldita que impedía a la editorial despegar. Y en su lugar han escogido una bastante original, una que no ha usado nada jamas, ni siquiera esa empresa llamada Marvel Entertainment, Inc... ouch. Pequeño fallo.

El cambio de nombre y el cambio de la cúpula directiva puede parecer una respuesta directa al trato de la compañía rival, pero la verdad es que una cosa así no se hace en dos días y es normal pensar que se llevaba tiempo gestando. Eso sí, el anuncio de la adquisición puede que haya precipitado las cosas ya que la Warner y DC estaban perdiendo terreno a pasos agigantados. Así que la Warner se ha traído a unos ejecutivos muy monos versados más en las artes hollywoodienses que en las tebeiles con la intención de hacer películas, series de televisión y videojuegos. ¿Me he dejado algo? Algo con dibujitos, impreso en papel... no, no me he dejado nada. Y es que en el anuncio oficial se anuncian los proyectos de la "nueva" compañia: una serie de televisión de Human Target, otra serie de Midnight Mass, una película de Jonah Hex, otra de The Losers, otra de Green Lantern, apunta la de Lobo, añade un DVD de dibujos de Green Lantern, sumale la serie de televisión The Brave and the Bold y termina con el videojuego Batman. Arkham Asylum. Eso es todo lo que mencionan, nada de tebeos. Como si le importaran a alguien.

En este cambio de papeles, Paul Levitz es "degradado" y pierde su posición de presidente, cosa que no creo que escandalice a mucha gente. Sí, hizo algunas cosas buenas en sus tiempos, pero desde que llego Didio a la editorial no se sabe exactamente que hacía ahí Levitz ni que pintaba en medio de todo el desastre. Ahora vuelve a lo suyo, a los guiones, en concreto le van a dar Adventure Comics, donde podrá contar todas las historias de la Legion que le da la gana. En los foros americanos todo el mundo esta encantado con ello. Yo la verdad es que también, prefiero verle ahí, donde nos ha dado grandes momentos que donde estaba, que desde hace tiempo no pintaba gran cosa.

¿Y qué pasa con Didio? Ay, la gran pregunta. Pues por ahora absolutamente nada. Nadie ha dicho nada sobre el calvo bigotudo y destructor de buenas ideas. Y la verdad es que era buen momento para barrerlo y poner a cualquier otro en su lugar, la señora de la limpieza mismo. Pero no, ahí sigue y es que en esta reestructuración lo último son los tebeos y eso se nota.

Esto la verdad es que visto en frío no parece gran cosa, pero deja bien claro por donde van a ir los tiros a partir de ahora en ambas compañías: películas y otros medios audiovisuales. Los tebeos van a seguir saliendo, claro, pero como que solo están ahí como banco de personajes a disposición de los otros medios. Vamos, que nuestra vida no va a cambiar prácticamente nada, hasta que los de arriba ordenen que los personajes tienen que ser clavados a los de las películas. Como siempre.
