Det verkar som att Disney-bossen Bob Igers memoarer "The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company" bjuder på en hel del godbitar för den som är intresserad av vad som försiggick bakom Disneys dörrar de senaste åren. Igår kunde vi exempelvis rapportera om hur besviken George Lucas var på Disneys hantering av Star Wars och nu avslöjar Iger att Apple-jätten Steve Jobs - som ju var den största aktieägaren hos Disney - personligen ringde Iger för att berätta att Iron Man 2 sög:
"When Iron Man 2 came out, Steve Jobs took his son to see it and called me the next day. 'I took Reed to see Iron Man 2 last night,' he said. 'It sucked.'"
Iger berättade också för Vanity Fair om Jobs inblandning i uppköpet av Marvel och menade att Jobs hatade serietidningar mer än TV-spel:
"In 2009, after our very successful acquisition of Pixar, we were interested in acquiring Marvel, so I met with Steve and walked him through the business. He claimed to have never read a comic book in his life ('I hate them more than I hate video games,' he told me), so I brought an encyclopedia of Marvel characters with me to explain the universe to him and show him what we would be buying. He spent about 10 seconds looking at it, then pushed it aside and said, 'Is this one important to you? Do you really want it? Is it another Pixar?'"
Resten är historia.
