What the fuck. Oh, Holy Shit.. No one wanted the Young Indiana Jones part of Uncharted. How did they manage to fuck this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Sony Pictures movie. That's how it got fucked up. Man, I wish the North Koreans would keep hacking Sony Pictures. I just want a constant stream of the emails from that company because I'm sure that their big takeaway from getting hacked was "everyone can see our emails and sees how we correspond with each other" and probably no one thought "hey, now that these are out in the open, we look like pretty big shitheads. Maybe we could be better and not fuck up every franchise we control?" Two years later: Venom movie moving forward with Tom Hardy, Uncharted movie scrapped to now be a young Nathan Drake movie because Tom Holland is Spider-Man, likely coming up with ways to torpedo the relationship with Disney in making the new Spider-Man movies, etc... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Craig beat me to it: Because Sony. I bet Joe Carnahan is pissed somewhere right now. He wrote a big, crazy action script that's now getting dumped to make a kiddie adventure movie. Although I guess we should've seen this coming when they hired the guy from the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM movies to direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 So we're gonna get another Creature from the Black Lagoon? Do they really want Dave Schow to commit suicide? (this is a joke only me and OSJ will get) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well you still have to get through Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man (Javier Barden is Frankenstein's Monster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Good lord, please get our inimitable Crow screenwriter off the bridge already Javier would make a pretty good Dracula though... Can The Wolf Man from a couple years back just count so they don't have to make another one? That was actually decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yeah, when a studio is gearing up to launch a brand new franchise, their best bet is casting a group of actors pushing 60 and having a gap of almost two years between the first and second picture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sony is so far beyond a functional movie studio that I'm shocked that anything good comes from there. I mean, if you're tied to an existing franchise/IP and Sony is your distributor or movie studio, then you're practically fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the games have a rep for being stealth stuff, the survival aspect usually had more to do with hoarding the good weapons for boss fights and thus questioning which lingering zombie might get you at a corner. But they've always had weird giant monsters and shit from the first installment onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have crazy stuff from the start but it was still more survival and you were in an enclosed environment. It was much more personal. I was watching a Resident Evil trailer and I see her running through what looks like a desert with machine guns and shit, that's not RE to me.

Bah, it is horrible in a nearly good way. It would've been Castlevania: Origin of Dracula if not for the silly ending set in the present day. 12 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: I hope the new Resident Evil movies are slower pace jump scare horrors than the horror/action of the last series.

RIPPA Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 So this Tweet is getting turned into a movie http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/851175-rihanna-and-lupita-nyongo-ava-duvernay Yup - Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o are in and it is being directed by Ava Duvernay and Issa Rae is writing it.

J.T. Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'd love to believe that was random, but that Twitter account probably belongs to Rihanna's publicist or something. Ava Duvernay just doesn't randomly decide to direct shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Call me old but I long for the days when studios would wait to see if the first movie, you know, makes a fucking dime before planning a sequel, let alone a trilogy or an entire "shared universe." God damn, movie studios, at least lie to me and tell me making a movie is not the same as making any other product nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
