(BP) Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Carrey's probably on the verge of a critical comeback with that Showtime series. In fact, they should just get Michael Gondry to direct it. I'm sure whatever cardboard shit he'd make in his basement would be more visually interesting than Carrey yelling at CGI for two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were Dr. Wily in a Mega Man movie, it would probably be awesome. Right now, I am fucking hating this Sonic movie idea with him as Robotnik..

Curt McGirt Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 The very idea of making a movie based on Sonic is so stupid that you know it's gonna blow up in everyone's face. Kinda like another video game movie I can think of... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Last I checked, we're still on a planet where the best direct (or nearly direct) adaptation of a video game to a movie was fricking Silent Hill (haven't seen AssCreed or the new TR), and yet it hasn't stopped anyone from throwing money at the idea. Sonic makes as much sense as anything. Surprised it took them this long, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 If A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS taught me anything, it’s that you should probably hire Neil Patrick Harris for any villainy that you might otherwise be tempted to enlist Carrey for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I woke up and turned on the TV the other day and Tron was on. I heard "Wait, is this because I was parked illegally?" and though I've never seen Tron I knew immediately it was The Dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Sopranos prequel news Alan Taylor is returning to the world of The Sopranos — and bringing it to the big screen. The Thor: The Dark World and Terminator: Genisys helmer has signed on to direct the Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark, EW has confirmed. He’ll work from a script by series creator David Chase and Sopranos writer Lawrence Konner, which New Line acquired in March. The film is set amid the riots of 1960s Newark, New Jersey, which broke out as a result of tensions flaring between the city’s black and Italian residents. It’s currently unclear which Sopranos characters will appear in the film, though based on the time period, it’s possible that Tony’s father, Giovanni “Johnny Boy,” or his uncle Junior could make an appearance. Taylor previously directed episodes of The Sopranos across four of the iconic show’s six seasons, including the season 6 episode “Kennedy and Heidi,” which won him an Emmy. He has also directed episodes of other prestige cable shows, like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and Nurse Jackie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 My wife and I had Warcraft on in the background one night with the sound off while we were doing end of the day household stuff, and every once in a while we'd look up and be completely mystified by what we were seeing. It was always either a bunch of actors we recognized from television shows on horses or dozens and dozens of Shreks in what looked PS2 game cut scenes.

Raziel Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I give them point for trying with Warcraft, but the source material doesn't lend itself to 2hour movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Rumor is that the upload was done intentionally since no one had heard of this movie before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
