Neo Rasa posted:The best part is at one point one of the two ninjas annoys Shao Khan so he throws him into a fiery pit. Later in the movie Liu Kang fights Baraka who looks nothing like a ninja in any way at all, yet when he defeats him......they didn't actually finish the fight Liu Kang knocks him off screen and it cuts to the exact same footage of that ninja getting thrown into a pit of fire. I love that they hoped no one would notice, and everyone who's seen the movie noticed immediately. That movie has such insane character bloat. Guys like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Smoke, Nightwolf and Mileena just pop in for a quick appearance and then disappear from the movie completely without reason.

Villeneuve isn't involved, but it's the same screenplay writer as Sicario.

Is the King of Fighters anime movie the one where Mai's boobs are popping out in every transistional frame or is that a differant film? I wish they made a hyper violent good animated Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior anime movie.

When you have Masami Obari direct, expect some pneumatic anime tiddy action. I think almost everything he's animated has had some bouncing breasts in it, save the transformation sequence for Convoy i.e. Optimus Prime in Gen1 Transformers quote:I wish they made a hyper violent good animated Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior anime movie.  There really should have been a Studio Madhouse-produced anime for Darkstalkers.

"You can look at this movie as the first G.I. Joe movie," says De Souza, "Because G.I. Joe was in a swamp at this time. It was not selling. So Hasbro wanted to reboot the G.I.

Which actually begs the question why hasn't there been a fatal frame movie or a knock off? There's found footage movies of course, but the camera isn't more than a framing device in those.

I'd like to think that by the time Microsoft wanted to get a Halo movie made, but were demanding control of the production, the entire film industry just went "we've seen multiple video game movies crash and burn because people who had no idea what the gently caress they were doing destroyed everything. no dice." and that's why we don't have a Bioshock movie.

Timby posted:For background, Nicholas Meyer and Leonard Nimoy hashed out the story at Meyer's beach house; Nimoy opened by asking Meyer, "How would you like to tell a story about the Wall coming down in space?" That sold Meyer, and they walked up and down the beach all day just breaking down the story beat-by-beat. They then went their separate ways, with Meyer intending to write the script with Denny Martin Flinn, his longtime friend who was dying of cancer.

Bioshock actually probably came the closest to happening out of all of these, and if it had been pre-produced about 5 or 6 years later, it probably would have come out. Verbinski had two requirements for the Bioshock movie: 1) they had to build a full-scale Rapture set instead of using green screens, and 2) it had to be R-rated. Studios consistently told him he could do one or the other, but not both, because making it R would cut the potential profits too much for the Rapture set to be cost-effective. In a post-Deadpool and Logan world, I'm pretty sure the studios would have been like "sure, fine, make your R-rated Bioshock movie."

Why the gently caress would a Bioshock movie have to be R-rated? Theres no nudity and while the poo poo some of the plasmids and the Big Daddies can do might turn some heads, that seems like something you could pretty easily tone down if need be.

That second "gently caress" really tied the script together. Also there's likely a number of violent deaths, including the main spoilery one, which I feel needs to be on camera to really get the impact it needs.

TBH a Bioshock movie should be a fresh new story in the same setting; the game's story is extremely game-tailored and wouldn't translate well to film directly.

It would honestly be really hard to tone down the violence if you're doing a straight adaptation of the first game. As mentioned, there's one major death in the plotline that really needs to be disturbing and impactful to work, and you're just not gonna get there with PG-13 violence. Also, it's kind of hard to have drill hands affect anything meaty if you're not going R or getting very creative.

Gore Verbinski is a genius. if i'm being honest, despite how cliche it sounds I wish I could have a multi-year HBO series about the rise and fall of Rapture. Starring Michael Shannon as Andrew Ryan.

They need to do a series in the vein of Westworld. Call it something innocuous and then the end of the first season is really just the setup for the rest of the series when the lead meets with his team on the Santa Monica pier and looks out to the ocean. Cue warbly olde tyme music.
