Dammit its the Amiga version its based on. The PC version is an almost entirely different game where in the midst of fighting an ant invasion a blind saxaphone player grants you wishes that dont do anything from an abandoned bar

I had the PC version and it was the same story as the Amiga; you might be thinking of the Turbografx-16 CD version that had actual FMV.

I can't even figure out what they'd have to cut. The show had absolutely zero filler. A lot of the backstory and info like that from the books were covered in the side shows.

They should have stuck with the 1950s setting for the movie imo.

Jared Leto is not only out as Hugh Hefner, he's claiming he was never in. Also Playboy had dumped Ratner.

quote:

Not surprisingly, Playboy Enterprises has put the brakes on a planned biopic about Hugh Hefner with Brett Ratner directing as well as other projects with the filmmaker’s RatPac Entertainment. Earlier this month, trades ran with the news that Jared Leto was set to play Hefner. But calls to the Suicide Squad star’s rep reveal that the Oscar-winning actor never had any intention to take the role.

“Jared Leto is not and was not attached to a Brett Ratner-directed Hugh Hefner film, nor will he be working with him in the future,” Leto’s rep said this afternoon. “Earlier reports were incorrect and not confirmed by his representatives.”

Playboy Enterprises told Deadline earlier today: “We are deeply troubled to learn about the accusations against Brett Ratner. We find this kind of behavior completely unacceptable. We are putting all further development of our projects with RatPac Entertainment on hold until we are able to review the situation further.”

Dom kinda took over Roman's relationship with Brian anyway, but with Brian gone he's even more extraneous.

It'll be rough and there's no way to avoid cutting stuff that hurts what makes the original so good. That said I think they'll probably combine some of the big revolutions/political shifts into each other. There's Earth Cult and Phezzan plot lines that can be cut or drastically reduced. Some of the Iserlohn back and forth could be cut even if that's some of my favorite Yang. The end of the first film isn't hard to guess, but the rest of it depends on which characters get marginalized.

It can work as it's own thing, but it's inevitable that a lot of fans of the series will be pissed about some cuts. I love Bucock and Merkatz, and there's no way they get everything in there for them.

Rock walks in to room.

Luda looks around,

"Yo, where's Roman?"

Rock stops for one second and looks at Luda, raises his eyebrow and adlibs....

"Died of rectal prolapse. Never knew he was into anime dolls."

Vin looks solemn.

"....Family."

Jason nods. Michelle shifts her eyes around uncomfortable.

Jason Statham just used the Fast franchise to have a better "badass taking care of kids" adventure than The Rock and Vin Diesel did in standalone movies (The Tooth Fairy and The Pacifier respectively).

My thoughts exactly. They could even assign all playboy traits to Ludacris' character and make Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey) the only hacker/tech wizz on the team. Tyrese's character is very replaceable.

well why not
Feb 10, 2009




Roman is kinda meant to be the Face character, but doesn't really ever succeed at it aside from being a huge distraction.

Luda's character is a way more low-key guy. The team kinda needs a cocky loudmouth and Tyrese did really fit that.

That being said there's every chance this is guerilla marketing for the next movie.
