Hasbro Studios scored a major win today by bringing in Josh Feldman to the team for a new position titled head of development of the company’s film and TV division.
This is big news on major entertainment news websites since Mr. Feldman is known throughout the industry for his work on movies such as the current X-Men movies.
He is said to work for the next G. I. Joe Live Action Movie.
“With his tremendous experience in brand-focused film storytelling, Josh is ideally suited for this role as we look to expand our feature business,” which includes a third ‘G.I. Joe’ film, says Stephen Davis; president of Hasbro Studios and global entertainment and licensing for Hasbro. “His focus will be on both our franchise and new brands in live-action and animation, and Josh will work closely with the studio’s TV development, brand, design, digital and licensing teams to deliver full storytelling integration across our brand blueprint.”

Unless he's directing I'm really not sure what this news portends. I'll say for now I'm cautiously optimistic.

"TV development"??? Not sure what this means, but if it means what I think it means, I'm not holding my breath. I'll see it when I believe it. *And yes, I said it backwards for a reason...because I hang ober...so kizzzz my azzzzz*

Smart move. With as much $$$, and exposure hasbro has received from the recent movies, especially TF, they need more talent in this field.
Hopefully this means we can expect more action movies and tv shows with hasbro brands.

I don't know what the below Tweet says about his priorities.
His Twitter says he worked on X-Men: First Class, not the recent X-Men film. First Class was a pretty crappy movie IMO, nowhere near as good as this year's X-Men movie, but it was at least better than both G.I. Joes. It also says he worked on Elysium, a flop, and Cinderella, which I'm not even sure what version that might be, but I think it was a flop too since I never heard of it.
