The ideal Metal Gear movie to me would be a pretty close adaptation of the first two games. So the first half of the movie would basically be like The Raid. You get a pretty simple story and cool action of newbie Solid Snake getting established, meeting some allies/enemies as he infiltrates Outer Heaven, and getting betrayed as he learns more about Big Boss. And Metal Gear despite being clunky as hell and dated already has a perfect action movie cycle of sneaking around - oh poo poo something that makes sneaking around harder - new character/plot revelation - explosive firefight with a boss - repeat. Then the second half would be Snake and Miller/whoever Big Boss down to his base in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake with Snake heading in as the others infiltrate more slowly/provide support. Like just copy Hard-Boiled where the entire second half of that movie is a few brief scenes of everyone ending up at the hospital and then an insane amount of squib-filled action and honorable posturing/support from the rest of the cast for forty-five minutes straight.

The early games all had Euro-gaming jank all over them but several were still pretty good despite that, but it is a shame that Trespasser killed it. I mean even Ocean got a few good Jurassic Park games out and they were legitimately known as a dogshit licensed game wunderkind like LJN. But I think in general folks don't want to just own it. Like remember Turok: Dinosaur Hunter? They made a reboot game of that for the PS3 and 360 and it a game where....you play as a bald space marine and spend most of the game shooting other bald space marines. Like even something as simple as "it's an FPS with tons of dinosaurs" is elusive to the developers of today.  Activision put out an unofficial game called Jurassic: The Hunted a few years ago but it's pretty bad.

Shageletic posted:Sorry to say, Robert Rodriguez directed it. Same, Cameron was talking about doing Battle Angel even when the comic was still going in the early 90s. There's actually a few homages to specific panels from it in his Dark Angel TV series. I don't know if anyone here has read the comic but holy poo poo I loved that stuff, it holds up really well too. In the early 00s Cameron was talking about it being PG-13 and everyone having blue robot fluid instead of blood, so I was wary about it since then. Half the appeal of the action in it is that it has Terminator 1/2 cyborgs getting bloodily ripped apart and various body horror moments of like, the Robocop lung scene would be baseline. Elysium drew comparisons to Battle Angel early on because of some similarities in the setting, but it was also similar for stuff like Sharlto Copely's entire head getting caved in and then getting regenerated graphically like it's no big. But man I wish there was a way to give the 1984 to 1994 era James Cameron a 2017 budget and effects technology.

Testekill posted:I know that Alita is a passion project for Cameron and everything but it's not this big cultural crossover that requires a 200 million budget plus whatever the total marketing budget will be. I love the manga and think that it's great but unless it has a brilliant marketing campaign then it's not going to make the money back. It would have been cool to get a slice of life smaller ultraviolent action flick like Dredd out of it.

For real, I like the concept of the voice being very distant and like it's going through layers of metal or something but they totally blew it. It says a lot that they went in a totally different direction instead of just mixing it to be louder or something.

I have a feeling the anime will only get the lowest of budgets re-release or just get dropped onto Amazon Prime or whatever. While the US versions of the manga renamed her to Alita along with renaming a lot of other stuff that has stuck for all US Battle Angel stuff, weirdly the anime still used the Japanese names even in English. When you'd get it on VHS back in the day there'd be a little text blurb at the beginning talking a bit about when the manga first came out in the US and what names were changed which was impressively vigilant for the mid 90s. It hasn't had a DVD release since 1999 so I'm sure it will get another/a blu-ray release once the movie comes out, but it will be interesting to see if it gets new subtitles using the US names or what. There's no way they'll actually bother to re-dub it or anything like that as it was never highly regarded at the time. I never understood why, it's short but it's a blast. The English dub is pretty bad at points though.

Halloween Jack posted:There are a lot of reasons not to make a new Blade movie, and I don't think R-rated content is a major one. Blade was an obscure character before Wesley Snipes played him, and Wesley Snipes is now a somewhat less sad and crazy Steven Seagal. Reviving the franchise for the still-difficult mid-budget action movie market is a risky prospect whether you go with him or a new actor. A new Blade could own they can just do what happened in the comics and have Snipes pass the torch and be the new Whistler/heavy hitter weaponsmith dude and have it be about his daughter finding out she was adopted/learning about vampire society/becoming the new Blade. So you could have a violent action movie that still has enough of the generic comic book origin tale plot beats that it could be pitched and sold as a comic book movie first. And I mean yeah that sounds risky but if Disney or any of studios its owns wanted to go for it unless it was complete poo poo it would still be a financial success just from how marketed it would be and the merchandise around that and stuff. Halloween Jack posted:The Punisher series is technically set in the MCU, although that makes absolutely no sense at all and is not at all credible from a storytelling perspective. It occurred to me a few times while I was watching it, that these deep state ghouls are talking about protecting the American empire and secret unaccountable power and violence, etc. and no one ever mentions that things have changed a little since we found out gods and aliens exist and they attacked New York City. It's an extremely loose continuity, to say the least. The way they're "in the MCU" is extremely stupid for sure. I know why it's the case because of pettiness between the two people that run Netflix Marvel and movie Marvel but the way they would kind of try to refer to them in the Netflix shows but not really always came off as really stupid outside of Daredevil's first season. I think it works in Netflix's favor that they just don't even try anymore as it got shakier and shakier with each show.

Any movie with the MCU logo on it is going to do $$$ unless they release a few absolute stinkers in a row, I don't think that's really up for debate at this point. Halloween Jack posted:I don't know anything about that, They literally can't say Captain America on Netflix Marvel. They have to refer to everyone as "the shield thrower" and "the green guy." They also don't acknowledge any events in the movies beyond the NYC battle in Avengers 1 but even that is just called "the incident."

And this is coming from a guy that mostly doesn't mind what Disney's MCU films are, but diversity is something that's needed in the genre. And as of late Fox was pulling off in spades. I have a feeling that will happen, like there'll be a small corner of Miramax that are the R rated Marvel movies.

That looks really bad because of how the trailer is cut, like the way it shows their house-car shaking and getting pulled up the ramp and keeps cutting to this perfectly level and still platform on it that the characters are standing on. But it's a Mad Max-ish post apocalyptic film so I don' t know if I can skip it.

Even a few years ago Ubisoft had to quietly cancel-re-start from the ground up (and eventually they just gave up and cancelled) the game Rainbow Six: Patriots because the terrorist group was executing a bunch of wealthy CEOs in the promotional trailer for taking money from the people and many folks assumed the terrorists were the good guys one would be playing as because of that. They're so weak for not just rolling with it.

Every instance of it tackling a social issue was embarrassing and the story is pretty predictable but Will Smith's and Joel Edgerton's charisma and chemistry are enough to keep your attention. 3/5. We just saw it and I was about to post the same thing. The cast in general saves it and it was pretty fun overall. Nothing groundbreaking but I'm surprised at how unkind those early reviews were now. I'm excited that Netflix has already green-lighted a sequel, because I'd love to see this same cast of folks and setting but not written by Max Landis.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:...the live-action Beauty and the Beast remake was the highest grossing movie of 2017? Why? I saw it on Netflix and it's good, I was surprised. They added some new elements to the story that made it a little more interesting and slightly darker in some ways but it's also still a great goofy kids movie at heart. There are some moments that are just 1:1 from the animated movie but unlike the trailers it actually does have a lot of new stuff in it too. IIRC besides doing huge money initially it was in theaters for a much longer time than expected too which I'm sure helped.
