I can't really answer those questions pubicly, however, I could have answer in the afffirmative for most of them.
Not anymore, the rights were sold to Netflix which is considering making his own TV series now.
As a reminder, Studio 1, Courtyard Production and the entrance of Toon Studios should be transformed into some sort of a Broadway themed area. One might then wonder what would become of La Place des frères Lumière...
(Search for yourself the project that Bob Weis tried to build in DHS and DCA #Hyperion)

Because of this, I won't post anymore. Bye Bye, this forum is full of adorable people and I greatly appreciated to discuss with all of you !

Don’t leave! You’ve got to tell us about Hyperion! Is this what you’re referring to? From Jim Hill:I can't really answer those questions pubicly, however, I could have answer in the afffirmative for most of them.

“On the upside, one of his old Disney-MGM ideas that Weis is hoping to revive as part of his California Adventure retheming project is Mickey's Movieland. Which would involve building a full-scale recreation of the old Disney animation studio that used to be located at 2719 HyperionAvenue.
Mind you, many of the shows & exhibits featured inside of this new structure would look rather familiar to fans of DCA's "Disney Animation" attraction. The point is that -- once this recreation of Hyperion Studios is in place -- Hollywood Pictures Backlot goes from being this very generic space that could be the backlot of any modern movie studio to becoming a place that tells a very specific story. You're now going to be exploring the Hollywood that Walt Disney knew back in the 1930s. When audiences everywhere were still wild about Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphonies, and "Snow White" was about to take the world by storm.”
That would be big!

O jeez, I could not deal with another decade of WDS remaining a half day park if the expansion was scrapped.
At the very least we need to see Marvel, Frozen and the Lake. I hope there is not much in the speculation.

They removed it from the Disney Parks Blog, but it's still up on the disneylandparis-news site.
I don't know if it's exciting or not...curious to see what will happen, but I am afraid some budget cuts might be in sight...I am scared for that Star Wars land. It might come later than expected, or they changed their minds or something.

Someone in the thread can track the image being removed to at least a year ago so we might not need to read too much into this yet.
Let's wait until the publicly posted image in WDSP is removed or modified.
yes, well, it's been over a year since the image was removed!

The theme park blogger Theme Park Worldwide went to WDSP about two weeks ago, and they have the concept art for the expansion built into the work wall for the lake path, so it must still be ongoing.

Oh I'm sure the lake, Avengers and Frozen areas are a guarantee...but nothing has been filed for Star Wars yet (except that concept art), so that is the "weak link" so to speak.
It's kinda' a mystery what will happen and I'm really excited about the day something finally leaks. There is so much speculation...even about the park in general, not just that area specifically. All these rumors about changing Studio 1, creating more immersive environments, maybe adding a flat ride here or there

Interesting that they're thinking of swapping the Los Angeles/Hollywood location of Production Courtyard/Place de Stars to New York/Broadway! Looks like Eddie Sotto's 1920s Main Street, USA will finally be realized (in a way).
How would this affect the Tower of Terror though? Could a major retheme for the tower be in the works to coincide with the retheme?(For the love of God, let it not be Mission: Breakout!)

Imagine adapting the Tower to New York...hello Tokyo DisneySea Society of Explorers Tower

I'd be happy if that would happen to Paris' Tower but considering its proximity to Avengers Campus, I wouldn't be surprised if the Guardians suddenly drop by and make a permanent stay...Imagine adapting the Tower to New York...hello Tokyo DisneySea Society of Explorers Tower

It's not that easy, obviously they would have to change the entire aesthetic of the building, since Californian Art Deco would probably not fit in a Broadway setting (I don't even know what decade/architectural style they would go for).You don't need a big retheme for that, I imagine they have hotels too in New York
Also, I'm not sure if they'd keep the Twilight Zone IP, they might want something new to market.
Anyways I doubt we'd see such a drastic retheme of the entire Studios anytime soon.

Outside ears is reporting that the studios park may close due to low attendance, cast member shortage and to ease construction.
I can assure you there is no cast shortage. Money to pay the cast that might be a different story

to me this would be a sensible move. Closing the park must help save costs. Construction in a closed park must be cheaper and when demand picks up the resort could advertise its all new park to visit.
