News emerged late Tuesday that Comcast was in talks to buy DreamWorks Animation, the boutique studio run by Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Variety has reported the deal is set and DreamWorks will become part of NBCUniversal.
The guys over at Theme Park University are speculating that Universal Orlando's third gate will be based on DreamWorks, not Nintendo.

I find their speculation to be generally ridiculous.
