The 2020 film is about the Mystery Inc gang teaming up with a whole bunch of HB characters to save the world from Dick Darstardly's evil scheme. They haven't announced any additional characters yet apart from Captain Caveman who will be voiced by Tracy Morgan.

As long as they're doing live action remakes of cartoons, where's my gritty reboot of Sealab 2020? And not 2021, that was a parody.

Like, I get if they aren't your thing, but they are extremely high effort productions I don't get the reactions itt. More movies is good. Don't watch the ones that don't interest you.

They can make a great movie out of any old IP as long as the '21 Jump Street/Lego Movie/Spider-Verse' guys do it.

There are always going to be dumb movies but when the industry as a whole decides that creativity is dead and focus exclusively on plucking the nostalgia strings we miss out on a lot of good ideas. Sorry you're so easily dooped into proselytising for hacks. There are 139 movies currently scheduled for theatrical release in 2019 (including those already released in Jan/Feb). Of those, nine (9) are remakes, and I'm including as many films as I can justify in that number (for example, I don't know what the animated Addams Family movie will be about, but I'm counting it as a remake). 21 are sequels or part of a shared cinematic universe. Of the rest, 14, as far as I can tell, are based on existing properties. So 44 out of 139 movies being released this year, or ~31.7%, are either remakes, sequels, or adaptations.95, or ~68.3%, are none of those. Clearly "the industry as a whole has decided that creativity is dead and focused exclusively on plucking the nostalgia strings".

Presuming they don't drink bleach and taint it with an "oops, I fell into the game" premise, anyway. I'd say there's a pretty high chance that's exactly what they're going to do. The most recent high fantasy live action film was Warcraft which absolutely bombed domestically (but mysteriously performed super well internationally) so they'll be desperate to avoid all the 'mistakes' that were made in that, but on the other hand the Middle Earth films made almost $6 billion worldwide and the Harry Potter films have made over $9 billion so far so any production company that holds the rights to any fantasy-based IP knows that there's billions to be made if they can just strike the right balance. They're probably thinking that Warcraft and Magic The Gathering are too "niche" for general audiences so I can easily see them dumbing down M:TG by copying Jumanji 2's formula and sending Earth kids into the setting. (Note that the Middle Earth films were about a boring normal guy who lives in a sleepy village getting drawn into a huge fantasy plot he doesn't understand, and the Harry Potter movies were also about a kid living a normal life who suddenly gets thrust into a huge fantasy plot he doesn't understand.) The Chronicles of Narnia films started really strongly with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe back in 2005 but the two sequels didn't perform anywhere near as well so that series pretty much hit a brick wall but they're still planning on bringing them back again. (These films are also about normal Earth kids who gets swept up in a huge fantasy plot yadda yadda yadda ...) There's a big budget Dungeons and Dragons film coming soon as well, I'd lay bets that they also have players transported to the D&D world.

To be fair though, with a shred of self-awareness you could probably make a good movie out of it being some group's play session, just periodically cutting between the High Fantasy epic of the story heroes and the actual players trying to fudge one of them not dying because they hosed their saving throws so badly they should've fallen over dead immediately.

Wizards of the Coast are actually pretty good at managing the MtG brand, and they're quite probably smart enough to not let the writers resort to that damnable cliche if they have any influence on the production at all.

Considering how popular YT D&D groups are that could feasibly work. If not they could go the lazy route and just copy from the billion+1 adventure books.

Big climactic battle in the forest at the end, Mishra gets blasted, and you have an inbuilt sequel hook in the Phyrexian stuff. That would be great in the right hands.
