Len posted:Sleeping Beauty and Snow White are still on a poo poo load of merchandise though I forgot about Snow White, yeah that is a big one. I thought they already did Sleeping Beauty though; I guess I got that mixed up with the Maleficent films, which are also a thing Disney is doing. I can't really see them doing Pocahontas though, since that's just one big waiting to happen. MechanicalTomPetty fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Jan 25, 2020 |

After they're done live actioning, they'll remake those as animated movies with modern sensibilities.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:Whats Disney going to do when they run out of Animated Canon stuff to remake into live action? Live action sequels. They can deliver those for the next 20+ years even if it's just one sequel per live action remake, by then people are ready for the next wave of remake.

And yet we can't get a decent adaption of the Prydain Chronicles. I'm wishing that one had been done by Don Bluth, circa 1981. Though, looking at the Black Cauldron, maybe he already did?

Len posted:Sleeping Beauty and Snow White are still on a poo poo load of merchandise though Maleficent basically counts as their Sleeping Beauty remake and there's no way they're ever going to touch Pocahontas, but I could see Hunchback working if they ditched the gargoyles and leaned into making it the Les Mis Lite it must have been positioned as at some point during production.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:Edit: While I was typing that I actually thought "Oh wait, they haven't done Alice in Wonderland yet"; and then I remembered "Oh wait, no they did! It even got a sequel!". Burton’s Alice movie was actually an Alice-as-an-adult sequel. If they let the well refill they can probably go back to it in ten years. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they do indeed return to Pocahontas, albeit slightly rewritten.

They’re making the directors solve the water wheel puzzle before they can get the job Comedy option 2: what if Disney bought the rights to uncharted Comedy option 3: make the uncharted movie about their daughter to go straight to pissing off gaters

They try to awkwardly turn the movie into what they actually want to make, while having it still vaguely resemble the game.

any modern action-adventure movie plot will 'vaguely resemble' uncharted plots because that's what uncharted is mimicking in the first place, there's nothing actually unique that there needs to be protected from writers or directors doing the job they were hired to do

Wouldn’t a live-action Disney Tarzan movie just be like a normal Tarzan movie? If they make a live action Robin Hood would it look like the Cats musical?

You get the story the writer and or director wanted to tell awkwardly combined with the story of the original game. I think a big part of this is that, until fairly recently (like in the last 15-20 years or so, if that) most video games didn't have a plot, or even a "plot", but rather "something that can be vaguely defined as an outline". There were always exceptions of course (Planescape: Torment, a bunch of adventure games, etc) but Hollywood was only interested in adapting the big name games of the time, so in most cases the director was basically being told to somehow turn 3 paragraphs of text and a bunch of 2-D sprites into a feature film.

You get the story the writer and or director wanted to tell awkwardly combined with the story of the original game. It's not exclusive to video game movies, it's pretty common with bizarrely bad adaptations in general, like how the He-Man movie was more interested in trying to be The New Gods. The Warcraft movie was a weird case where apparently all the CGI Orcs were actually watchable while the human scenes were awful. FilthyImp posted:Double Dragon was crazy. The silly thing is how unnecessary that all is, because you have the inspiration for the game itself right there- a cheesy martial arts movie fighting through tons of minions broken up with memorable bosses, and maybe even culminate with the brothers turning on each other as a twist.

Crazy thing about Double Dragon is the cartoon which cribbed more from the movie than the games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUyAul3iXw And Mortal Kombat, which is a weird game to adapt into a cartoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3i4VKa1f8Q The MSJ fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Jan 26, 2020 |
