Edge & Christian posted:By the 1980s and beyond, I'm sure there was a level of desperation to modernize/adapt the characters, but it wasn't because they'd snobbishly turned down previous adaptations, it's because they'd been trying to adapt them for 50+ years at this point and none of them were hitting as well as they'd hoped. The first modern comic, More Fun #1, is the first comic book with original material, in early 1935. Superman debuts in early 1938 in Action Comics #1. (Same publisher, BTW) Superman Radio show, 1940. By this point Blondie has been running in newspapers for TEN YEARS and Superman is barely two years old. Kryptonite is eight years away. Brainiac won’t be created for another two decades. Lex Luthor has appeared in the comics for a whopping month so far, he’s a brand new character who was actually drawn wrong in his second appearance (he wasn’t supposed to be bald that was the Ultra Humanite) because he was so minor and new. The first animated Superman cartoons drop in 1941. Superman full-length movie (NOT a serial) in 1951. Superman TV series in 1952. Superman predates TV coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. I Love Lucy is still in Season Two. “We had a bunch of Blondie two reelers” is not exactly a massive medium shift. I’ve seen these movies on TCM, they are terrible. Superman is a proven multimedia property less than two years after his debut. Never out of print for the last 85 years. Siegel and Schuster were turned down by every newspaper syndicate they approached, their dream was to have the new Flash Gordon, not to put poo poo in the very very downscale comic books. Oh wow, Popeye had one flop movie 43 years ago. People are arguing in Cinema Discusso RIGHT NOW about who will be the next (movie) Superman. No, not the one on TV right now, no not the video game voiceover one, no not the OTHER one on TV right now. DC maybe sells 20k Superman comics a month if the stars align and they are very lucky. He’s a TV and Movie character with a minor publishing tie-in at this point.

Also fun fact, Lucille Ball helped get season one of Star Trek produced. Her providing sound stage space at DesiLu Studios was instrumental in making that happen.

CelticPredator posted:two of the biggest hits of this year were video game adaptations. Ghost Leviathan posted:At least one of which was pretty much made with the IP holder probably having to have a commissar present to stop them loving it up like last time. CelticPredator posted:Idk which you’re talking about but I turned off the mario movie 20 mins in Nintendo were extremely hands off during the production if the 1993 film after producer Roland Joffé talked them into letting him complete creative freedom and they were aghast at the final product and were extremely gun shy about adaptations after that, it took Hollywood decades to convince them to allow another film to be made. The 2014 Sony emails hack revealed that they'd been trying to buy back the rights to Super Mario Bros for quite some time but Nintendo kept saying no. The production of the 1993 film is infamous for being a complete shitshow, there's a whole lot of articles out there if people want to read up on it. quote:In a 2007 interview, Hoskins said, "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Bros. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots." He and Leguizamo got drunk before each day of filming and continued to drink between takes. In a 2011 interview, he was asked, "What is the worst job you've done?", "What has been your biggest disappointment?", and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" His answer to all three was Super Mario Bros. quote:[Dennis Hopper] added, "My six-year-old son at the time – he's now 18 – he said, 'Dad I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' And I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'"

Also if anyone is wondering whether the video game nostalgia movie adaptation trend has peaked, they announced a live action Pac-Man movie just recently (spearheaded by one of the associate producers from the live action Sonic The Hedgehog film) and the Wikipedia page on videogame film adaptations has dozens and dozens of other games listed as "in development" including Duke Nukem, Space Invaders, Street Fighter, etc etc... They're also working on a film adaptation of Talking Tom. Anyone remember that 2010 mobile app?? I hadn't even heard of it for years and years.  I just looked it up and not only are they still releasing new apps every year but there's been a whole lot of animated series with hundreds of episodes and the Youtube videos have been viewed tens of billions of times, with one video received 1.9 billion views alone.

ruddiger posted:Was there a sonic arcade game? I was watching an ep of x-files the other night and Jack Black was working in an arcade where you can clearly hear the sonic music from the first game. As said above, there was, though it's questionable how many film and TV show makers actually know this and just use stock video game sound effects they think are interchangeable, or at leas the audience they care about doesn't know the difference. At least it's also a reason why Sonic could show up in Wreck-It-Ralph. Mascots like Sonic do also sometimes cameo in arcade games. I think Sonic actually had his first appearance in one before his first game came out.

It's obvious that there ARE directors and writers that care enough about the source material to want to at least be in the same ballpark as it. At least they can't be worse than Pixels, Ready Player One or the 90's Mario movie...

Dave Syndrome posted:Rad Mobile, a few months before. He's an ornament dangling from a chain on your car's rearview mirror. On topic, drat, that's actually pretty cool looking even for today, considering what they were clearly working with. The rain effects in particular look pretty drat evocative. I like how the screen is fogged up for a moment before the driver turns on the windscreen wipers. Mr Interweb posted:with a rare handful of exceptions, i'm surprised it took 40 years before there hollywood finally started treating video game adaptations with any seriousness Boomers generally literally can't comprehend video games as actual media, it seems to be all interchangeable noise and fuzz to them. It takes having both video game studios with the motivation and money to keep a gun to the head of studios to not gently caress it up and having directors actually capable of comprehending and accepting the existence of the source material, let alone working with it. Unfortunately you're probably going to get even more really lovely cash-ins with whatever known names are cheap to license (especially if, like the Sonic movie, there's still a licensing deal in a drawer signed back in the 90s they never got around to) like when superhero movies were first taking off and studios were throwing anything at the wall that seemed remotely feasible.
