 WEARING MICKEY'S MANTLE | Joe Roth | The Biz | News + Notes | Entertainment Weekly
In fact, when Roth-the first director (Coupe de Ville) ever to chair a studio-took over Katzenberg's office in September, he replaced the posters for such Disney features as Aladdin with distinctly un- Disney art: They Drive by Night, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. And the differences aren't merely decorative.
So far, Eisner seems to be accommodating Roth's desire to loosen the Disney purse strings, a marked departure from the '80s mode of signing talent on the cheap (Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss), then trying to rebuild their careers through several movies.
Roth's record at Fox, which included the box office flops Shining Through, Barton Fink, and Enemies: A Love Story as well as the hits White Men Can't Jump, The Last of the Mohicans, Die Hard 2, and Sleeping With the Enemy-taught him, he says, that ''if it's not fun, it'd better be great.

 BW Online | July 30, 2002 | Talking about Joe Roth's Revolution
Back in late 2000, when Roth was putting together Revolution Studios, he sold the idea of an instant studio to some of the biggest names in media land, promising to make six movies a year for the next six years.
Ironically, Roth may be less concerned about the movie being a hit than everyone else is. He's assumed to be the lead candidate to take over Sony's film studio when the 72-year old John Calley retires.
Roth claims that he's too busy making films to worry about his next job, but insiders say he's also gearing up production to help complete the 36 films by 2006 that he promised his investors.
