Imagine if Inside Out was written by money obsessed, creatively bankrupt whores. While sniffing glue. That's The Emoji Movie.

muscles like this! posted:It is also just so incredibly lazy. Why bother writing a script that let this stuff all come out naturally when you can just have a voiceover explain it right at the beginning? I wouldn't be surprised if the actual script didn't have the narration but some executive stepped in said "Hey if we don't over-explain things that anyone paying even the tiniet amount of attention could notice we're gonna alienate the drooling moron demographic so lets throw some unnecessary exposition on top of the footage."

When it comes to stories about anthropomorphic symbols, the biggest comparison has to be with the various Sesame Street skits that star muppet alphabet letters and roman numerals.

Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows) is circling Suicide Squad 2. Reminder that Mel Gibson was also approached, but don't fret, you can get your Gibson fix in Daddy's Home 2! http://deadline.com/2017/07/suicide-squad-sequel-jaume-collet-warner-bros-will-smith-margot-robbie-1202126933/

Casimir Radon posted:They both do a hidden world sort of story. They kind of seem like they're trying equate the importance of what the emotions and Riley go through in Inside Out with whatever stupid poo poo the kid and some emojis get up to. The girl emoji is a pretty blatant ripoff of Wyldstyle, so there is that. I have seen very little of the Emoji stuff so I might be far off, but hidden world where the characters fret over their predetermined purpose in life sounds like Wreck-It Ralph.

I somehow rewatched Spawn on Netflix today and holy he'll it is actually much worse than I REMEMBER (and I saw it in theatres). That was ungodly whiplash after watching the new Spider man. So there's never going to be a "proper" Spawn remake right?

Spawn toys were too big of a thing in my childhood for me to not want another Spawn show or movie. I came up with some dramatic story lines with them in my room. I remember seeing Saving Private Ryan and thinking I did this already.

Mel Gibson shared his distaste over cape movies, not to mention that he would be more expensive and less controllable (main qualification for all superhero and franchise directors this days). But drat with him Suicide Squad 2 would have been an ultimate divorced dad movie.

Casimir Radon posted:The Emoji Movie seems like it should be poorly rendered Netflix schlock from India, which would perfectly match its conceptual bankruptcy. Instead they poured enough money on it to at least go out visually looking like a middling Dreamworks effort, and blew tons more money on well known actors to voice the characters. I hope this isn't the start of a trend.

muscles like this! posted:I'd be interested in seeing a more faithful adaptation of The Mask. Mainly because the idea is supposed to be kind of horrifying. I wouldn't say the comics are outright serious horror- they're more along the lines of Hobo with a Shotgun or early Sam Raimi tonally. The Hunt for Green October would make a loving fantastic reboot/sequel. e: also, Spawn is an extremely good concept that only the HBO show managed to do anything actually good with. I'd be excited for a remake if McFarlane himself wasn't the main driving force- the HBO show was dope primarily because of Madhouse animating it and putting insane effort in, and because Keith David and Richard Dysart killed their VA roles.

Hemingway To Go! posted:I suspect that if they went for Spawn movie it would end up like Suicide Squad If I had to dream up a Spawn movie, it would basically be supernatural John Wick with a touch of Headshot. Dude wakes up in the morgue with no clue who he is or how he got there, and looking like a bad pizza, but with sick Hell powers to make up for it; he slowly pieces together what the deal is, and then goes on a gory rampage targeted at the people who killed him. Put in Clown to go "hey wtf you're supposed to be evil not good" and tease Violator, but save a full appearance for the sequel, and just pretty much don't even touch Malebolgia. Cast the kid from Get Out as Al Simmons, Old Keanu as Jason Wynn, Michael Shannon as Clown (and go for more of a Gacy vibe than straight-from-the-comics demon dwarf clown), and tweak the backstory so he's an Army Ranger who got betrayed in Afghanistan or something instead of a literal CIA hitman, and then get David Leitch or Gareth Evans to direct, and behold, you have a dope Spawn movie in TYOOL 2017.

I know this was a number of pages ago now but I just got around to watching Overnight after it was discussed in this thread, and holy poo poo... that whole situation couldn't have happened to a more deserving person (and of course if he hadn't been such a narcissistic shithead it probably wouldn't have happened). And watching that group of greasy Irish-Bostonian stereotypes constantly over-drinking and chain-smoking made me a bit queasy.

There was a spin off comic series that was exactly like this called The Curse of the Spawn that revolved around those two detectives Sam and Twitch and it was like the worst poo poo ever made so this seems about right for McFarlane.

I remember hearing he wanted it to focus on Sam and Twitch, who are basically Spawn's Gordon and Harvey Bullock, and that Spawn would be a character mostly in the background. I'd actually be down for that but I can see how that wouldn't be marketable. Edit: I also remember hearing this back in 2007 or so.

This is good casting, I always thought the original film would have benefitted from omitting anything to do with Malebolgia as the effects we're loving atrocious HIS MOUTH DIDN'T EVEN MOVE!! Micheal Jai White could still crush the role though and I like seeing that guy get work.

I mean, I don't think I hated Non-Stop -- it was obviously too bland for the cast it had, considering I barely remember it at all -- but there's no universe in which that guy is a better director than Mel Gibson.

Frank Miller was asked to do The Spirit by the studio at no point in time did Frank Miller ever own the rights to The Spirit. He did say the reason he accepted it was because he didn't want anyone else to do it, but the studio didn't have to offer it to him at all and likely could have fired him at any point.
