As everyone waits for the announcement of Walt Disney Studios’ new chief of worldwide marketing today, this “list” is making the rounds of the marketing blogosphere. Some of these names are hysterical:
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.
Loading ... Loading ...
Go Mike Vollman, Go!!!
Can I come Vollman?
funny how many of those people are unqualified and were never in consideration but put their own names out there. LA Times has only aided in this silliness.
Vollman gets my vote. He’s good and he’s gay.
how does he’s gay have any relevance here?
yes, good guy. Yes, gay. But hardly a qualification for a job.
of course being gay is a plus for a hollywood job. do you not watch Bravo? or read Entertainment Weekly? or surf towleroad? c’mon people…
We like gay people, that’s why.
You obviously have never worked with Rich Ross
Vollman is the best!!!! Totally deserves this…
Someone forgot to cross off Schmuger.
Cross P. Addee off TWICE. With RED.
Nancy Kirkpatrick – after all, with the Summit and Lionsgate deal imminent, she should take her small Summit army and head to Disney.
There are a lot of strong candidates on this list but Vollman is probably the strongest.
If it were up to me, I would hire Mike Vollman… he is the only name on this list who is
1- 100% qualified
2- There is also no bad blood (from let’s say a firing)
3- Is a free agent
4- Fits in with the Disney culture.
my two cents:
blair rich — definite yes. would bve lucky to have her.
amy powell — what a nightmare. no one who works for her or with her can stand her.
mark weinstock — an idiot who thinks way too much of himself.
michael moses — seriously?
mike vollman — like blair rich a definite yes. question is whether he is he finally deciding to go back to work?
terry press — great marketer, toxic personality.
peter adee — also a good get.
but when has disney ever gone with what makes sense?
josh greenstein — great creatively. can’t manage his way out of a paper bag.
No one is more passionate about the film business than Vollman. DIsney should have hired him instead MT Carney…
Go Vollman!! Smartest, nicest, most talented guy in town. He so deserves this.
I love Vollman too much to want him be abused by Rich Ross.
PS This list is mean and pointless.
must be a slow day at MGM.
I woulda gone old school. Sid Ganis, Tom Sherak, etc. Kinda of a classy silver fox kinda vibe.
Rich Ross only hires and promotes gay people. Sad but true.
The list is obviously fake. It seems to be missing a name on it. Like….ummmm, the guy that got the job!
Don’t you think that Strauss’ name would be on the board of potential hires?
