Deeply religious vampires are actually a pretty common thing. There's even a Catholic vampire superhero.

The Rampage movie seems odd with mutated animals rather than humans, but maybe it's because people will be more empathetic to animals than people turning into monsters that eat people.

It's based on a game about mutated animals

I think the more Kaiju films the better to be honest. Even it's a loose adaptation of some old games, the more giant monster movies made, the better chances of movies with fresh takes on the genre have. You couldn't have Shin Godzilla without a bunch of other movies preceding it.

I've played Rampage, and mea culpa, I don't remember if this is true or false, but according to other people on this forum when you die in the game you turn back into a tiny human, indicating the monsters are mutated humans. It would explain the increased anthropomorphism of the wolf and lizard character in the game compared to the movie.

A Quiet Place just got a teaser, and it seems pretty interesting.

If they go the boring-rear end "the things hunting them are just humans and humanity is the real bad guy" route, I'm gonna be pissed, though.

They look to be walking on salt, which is used traditionally to ward off various supernatural baddies.


I thought Fantastic Beasts was going to be terrible until I watched it on a plane and liked it more than any of the HP movies proper.

The three original monsters all had little backstories: George the ape was a scientist who got mutated by experimental vitamins, Lizzie the lizard monster was a young woman who swam in a lake that had radioactive waste, Ralph the werewolf was mutated by a food additive in a hot dog.

Later games had up to 40 different monsters.

I mean the 'giant animals rampaging through a city' part is obviously a fine excuse to use the name. And I can see the Rock being buddies with a gorilla.

The games have a pretty cartoonishly macabre style of humour similar to GTA, where you score points and/or regain health from eating innocent bystanders (and their food) and actively seek to cause as much destruction as possible, maybe coincidentally fighting aliens/an evil corporation in the process. So a more faithful adaptation probably wouldn't be a great idea.

Would probably be a bit of a weird ending to the movie if it ended with the de-monsterized people getting labeled as sex offenders, so I can see why they just made them big animals.

I think it's sand to dampen their foodsteps in the woods outside. The hallway floor has painted spots probably cause the floorboards creak & the painted spots are safe to walk on.

Studios and developers haven't made real tie-in games for years now probably since they're not very economical anymore. Most of the time they're simple free mobile games. Sometimes you get a game like EA Battlefront 2 but it was developed as a separate product and any connection to The Last Jedi is not really emphasized.

I heard that, of all things, the tie in game for The Mummy
2017 (The Mummy Demastered) was pretty decent, mostly because the development just went "Hey you guys liked Metroid, right? Here's another one only with one or two characters from our lovely movie!"

There was a free Android/iPhone tie-in game for Gods Of Egypt. It played like an extremely low-rent God Of War game.

Apparently the Mummy Demastered game is basically a tie-in in name only and contains almost no traces of the movie outside of a few likenesses - excluding Tom Cruise, because of mysterious [scientologist] reasons.

I thought for sure it was already on there, but I guess not. I'm certain WB will get it ported over when the movie is closer to release.

There's a surprising amount of arcade games on PS4.

I remember in the early part of the 00's a lot of the tie in games ended up just being games that were independently in production that the studios would just throw money at to make into a tie-in.

I miss those days.

If you're familiar with Muscle March it's slightly more fun but only for the "Holy poo poo, did they just not tell the studio that they made a cheap rip off of a weird Japanese bodybuilder butt wiggle game???" factor
