While the news just broke a few weeks ago, the initial story indicated that Disney and Fox had been in on again, off again, talks for quite some time.
The word was that Fox was considering selling its entire film division, 21st Century Fox, in order to focus on news, sports, and other aspects of the TV business.
While the sale talks were in their “off again” phase at the time, and didn’t appear like they were going to resume, Deadline is now reporting that the talks are rumored to be back on, and based on what they’re saying about the speed, it sounds like they may really be moving toward a successful conclusion.
