Walt Disney Trademarks Seal Team Six
Kathryn Bigelow is set to include the kill in her upcoming untitled movie centered on this team of special ops soldiers, and Corey Feldman ends his upcoming musical comedy Operation Belvis Bash with Osama Bin Laden getting shot. But its Walt Disney Pictures that now owns the rights to Seal Team Six.
That's right. The Walt Disney Company has trademarked Seal Team Six, sending in their application for this new brand just two days after Osama Bin Laden's death was announced, and the team's name was all over the news. The trademark application for Seal Team Six covers clothing, footwear, headwear, toys, games and entertainment and education services. Which means that Walt Disney may be planning a franchise of action films that will revolve around this covert group of Navy Seals.
There is no official word yet on what Walt Disney plans to do with its trademark of Seal Team Six in terms of movies, but we're sure an official announcement is imminent.

GUYS!
Disney owns a lot of other film companies. I think they owned Dimension that was an off shoot of Miramax. I think Dimension released Pulp Fiction if I'm not mistaken.
And as for a movie I DON'T MIND IT AT ALL! The last article about this said that Bigelow and her writer had been working on a script about Seal Team Six MONTHS BEFORE bin Laden was killed and were going to re-write the ending to the already written screenplay about ST6 to include the death of bin Laden but a lot of people on here seemed to not read that part and get all up in arms about it.
Yeah, if they just grabbed the rights AFTER the news of bin Laden's death I'd be like "WTF?" but that's not how it happened. As for the merchandising part of it...yeah THAT is pretty horrid but I just hope Disney has more class than that.

This is so lame and tacky. They're a covert team. They don't do what they do for acclaim. They kick ass and take names. Honor their achievements and their successes (what little is public knowledge), but a clothing line and movie franchise. God I hate the mouse. They've given us some cool movies and decent rides, but this is so "Not Cool."

F*CK DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first they bring out hannah monf*ckingtana, high school musical, and the jonus brothers. then they totally f*ck up Marvel by buying them out and screwing with the budget for The Avengers and theyll probably mess with Iron Man 3 in someway too. now they want to trademark Seal Team Six?? thats so f*cking stupid. where the f*ck did Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck go?!?!?!? bring them back. Disney shouldnt be messing with a special ops team like that
