I have no idea why Alan Horn, the chairman of Walt Disney Studios, did not mention this movie during his interview with the Hollywood Reporter last week.
Quote:
The Hollywood Reporter: Given the studio gets movies each year from Marvel, Pixar and DreamWorks, what is your plan for the films that Disney's own film studio produces?
Alan Horn: I have five or maybe six [films] from our “umbrella” group, and I have asked [Disney president of production] Sean Bailey for two to three [more films a] year. I prefer three event movies a year. Looking ahead, we have Maleficent [with Angelina Jolie], Cinderella [with Kenneth Branagh directing] and Tomorrowland [from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol director Brad Bird]. And we’ll have two to three small ones, Like Saving Mr. Banks and [the baseball movie] Million Dollar Arm. So that makes about 11 movies a year, and then we distribute DreamWorks movies, so let’s say they give us three or so a year. For fiscal '14, which commences Oct. 1, we have 15 releases. That’s a normalized slate.

The live-action 'Cinderella' is not scheduled to be released until March 2015, but Horn mentioned that movie. 'Into the Woods' is scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2014, but he did not talk about it. He also did not talk about the next 'Muppet' movie, which is going to be released before all of the films that he mentioned.
