The new studio cheif for Walt Disney Pictures says he is not going to shy away from big budget productions according to Reuters. Alan Horn, the former president of Warner Brothers Entertainment, says he was given one directive from Disney CEO Bob Iger, “All Bob said was ‘make good movies’.

And that budget could be substantial”. The L.A. Times has even more including Hollywood’s reaction to the pick.
