Jurassic Park III is the Dino Crisis III that we wanted (but didn't get).

DrBouvenstein posted:I decided to re-watch The Lost World: Jurassic Park since I don't think I've actually seen it in over twenty years. It definitely is. There's only been on good (great) JP movie ... I have a preemptive IIMM since I already know and am already hearing that, in the wake of Barbie's massive success, there's a whole list of toy to movies projects already being talked about. The irrational part is that I already know probably 3/4 of them would never make a good movie and won't lend themselves to the medium at all. Some studio exec is gonna be like "remember EZ Bake Ovens? Remember Shrinky Dinks? How about a Furby movie? That was popular once!" I'm not saying there's not any gold to be mined there but GI Joe and Transformers have already been done. I think they're going to fall into the video game trap of making poo poo just to make it and instead of embracing what makes the toys fun, just copying Barbie and sticking the toys in the real world. Someone mentioned Hot Wheels and that's not a bad idea but I already think that what they'll do is make the cars interact with the real world and at full size when the way to go would be to make them small and borrow a little from Toy Story; at least starting out. But how many toys have really transcended generations like Barbie has that would appeal to a wide age range? Lego's been taken. What I'm saying is that I'm already dreading the Pogs movie with a "Remember Pogs? They're Back! In Movie Form!" tagline. Or a Rubik's Cube or Silly Putty movie. Oh, christ. It's gonna be a Mattel shared universe, isn't it?

The Mattel Universe is going to go about as well as The Dark Universe. 95% of those movies are not getting made.

The one farthest along in development is apparently a Polly Pocket movie written by Lena Dunham, it's been in development for like four years and is apparently a very important thing to Dunham in general. It will not connect to Barbie.

It's what the yanks call polystyrene. No one knows why, or why they're making a movie about polystyrene. Some pop culture stuff just doesn't translate well I guess.

Polly Pocket basically is to Barbie what Micro Machines are to Hotwheels. A tiny little plastic doll and her various friends that generally came packaged in tiny clamshell style folding dollhouse playsets. Mostly a thing of the 90s though I'm sure it's still around. I'm sure it'll be super fun for people to pretend they aren't at least a little aware of it, but it's well poised to activate the nostalgia center of women of a certain age (30s and 40s probably) which is primarily used by the brain for buying movie tickets.

I remember the jingle in the ads. Something like I'm Polly Pocket Want to see what's new? A brand new playset Just for you! And then some rockabilly Polly Pocket dadda da da da dadda da Polly Pocket (cheap cheap cheap) Polly Pocket (cheap cheap cheap) Could be conflating this with something else.

It will likely compare to the Barbie movie about as favourably as the Playmobil movie compared to the Lego movie. The executives will get an eight figure bonus off of a seven figure domestic gross.

Macy, a talking raptor, and Sam Neil playing main characters, have the movie still be so boring. That's sort of impressive to be honest.

the whole thing that made the Barbie movie good was that it intentionally used that nostalgia and brand cohesion to say something about the real world and what part, if any, nostalgia plays in it going " oh it's cuz it's an old toy that everyone loved, let's make a Tiger R-Zone movie next!!!!" is missing the point in a way that only hollywood execs would dare to even dream of

They should do a Mario sequel, but make it a sequel to the much superior 90's version and don't tell anyone it's for that version till it's out. Hollywood doesn't take risks anymore!

Without Dennis Hopper treating the scenery like an all you can eat buffet and a permanently drunk Bob Hoskins wondering where his life went wrong, what do you even have left for a sequel?
