Mike Mignola apparently can't stand GDT and really dislikes his take on the material.

i'm adding that to the list of "authors/estates with bad opinions about adaptations". it's called the Roald Dahl Has Terrible Taste list because he hated the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka movie so much that his estate forced that godawful Tim Burton/Johnny Depp one upon all of us.

but there are plenty of other authors on the list too. Stephen King for not liking The Shining, the Tolkein estate for being annoyed with the Peter Jackson trilogy, etc etc.

I’m getting a real “filmed on my phone and uploaded to Vimeo” vibe from the trailer.

To be fair to, I'm with Dahl on that one. I have no idea why the Willy Wonka film is so popular. If they made one of my books into a campy musical I'd be pretty pissed off too.

fwiw the gdt hellboy movies are not faithful to the character at all outside of surface details, hellboy is more of an experienced and well schooled witcher than precocious new york cop

Gene Wilder owns but the movie is pretty average.

Also Dahl is metal af

A movie having a dumb premise doesn't really mean much to me either way. Although I wouldn't even really say this has a dumb premise, at least not noticeably more-so than most other horror movies.

See I was getting more of a Pod People/Eldritch Things making a beach head in our reality vibe.

But I've been reading a lot of Cthulu Mythos anthologies, so that may be coloring my perception.

How the hell would a choose your own adventure movie even work? Would there be prompts on screen to skip to certain timecodes depending on what you want the outcome to be?

It's on netflix so you'll probably click a button when prompted and load another section of the movie.

I don't know about Netflix, but the one time I saw a choose your own adventure film in a theatre, you had to download an app so you could vote on what the protagonist should do next at certain points. After a short time, they would load whichever segment received the most votes.

Fun experience, even if the film itself wasn't very memorable.

Please be excited.



I loved Get Out but I'm hoping that trailer was edited to be jumper and scarier than the film actually is, because I ain't seeing it in the cinema otherwise.

e: And Netflix already has Minecraft Story Mode which is an adventure game. It just pauses and gives button prompts.

There were loads of DVDs that did a basic version of the same thing back when DVDs were new and exciting. One of the loving Final Destination films had a "choose your own" version where the deaths changed slightly based on your choices.

Yep there are several Netflix shows that do this. Minecraft and some Puss n Boots show. It works pretty smoothly my daughter loves it.

My only qualm, and this is likely my internet connections fault, is that it does that "briefly pop into low-res mode as the stream caches and loads" every time you make a decision.
