I remember this show, it was set in St. Louis, Missouri, and I think they even made a super bowl episode during one of the years the St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl, but they were 100% not filming in St. Louis.

Had to be 1999-2000 since the Rams have only won one Super Bowl (XXXIV). Disney likely used it for cross promotion since ABC aired it.

When and if they ever get around to it no one is going to care anymore. Streamers pretending to be scared of it seems like a thousand years ago already.

Honestly a FNAF movie could work totally fine, it would just have to basically not touch the games' events outside of maybe a single setpiece in the pizzeria at night

The games themselves are played out to hell, but the background lore barely gets talked about at all beyond hardcore fans, and... the inciting incident of the series is one of the animatronics going apeshit at a kid's birthday and chewing a chunk out of the kid's skull and brain. because the animatronics were built by a serial child murderer who wanted to make his victims "immortal" by binding their souls to creepy animatronics. they are, naturally, not okay with this and respond by shoving him in an animatronic (Springtrap) that proceeds to lock him in and tear him to pieces like something out of a Saw movie... and then, having gotten their revenge, they just kind of go dormant and act like normal animatronics until either something makes them freak out or some poor bastard goes on night watch (at which point they assume the night security guy is the murderer, and start trying to rip him apart).

you could make an absolutely sick movie out of all of that without even touching the "guy has to gently caress with doors and lights so the robots don't eat him" part, though realistically speaking it's like the Doom FPS scene and you'd almost kind of have to fit it in somewhere so people don't bitch that it's not really a FNAF movie

e: that said, a FNAF movie would almost certainly be PG-13 even though you'd really, really need an R to make it work, and that's kind of a problem in and of itself

...huh, and at a second look, Blumhouse currently has the FNAF rights and the movie was supposed to happen in 2018, it just got put on hold because Scott Cawthon (creator of the games) wasn't happy with the script he wrote and scrapped it for a page-one rewrite. so it's probably happening sooner and not later, and it'll probably be one of those weird sudden drops that Blumhouse likes to do where we don't see trailers or ads until a couple weeks before it comes out.

e: and based on Cawthon writing the script, I'm probably pretty on-the-money with what it's gonna look like, because the YA books (also written by Cawthon) are pretty much all about the hosed up backstory

honestly MPAA trouble being part of the holdup would extremely not surprise me, yeah. the games are pretty much targeted at kids, but the material a movie would have to cover is, to my knowledge, an instant R regardless of how they handle it (iirc a lot of why Fox approved Logan being an R was because the MPAA just kind of flat-out went "you're not doing this below an R, no matter how you show it" regarding the child experimentation subplot).

your options are pretty much either make a version that somehow never touches any of that, make an R version now and have it be out of the target audience's reach for a few more years, or... wait.

Beetlejuice tries to coerce a minor into marriage in exchange for a favor.

Comedy Central used to run Beetlejuice practically every weekend, but it wasn't until I recently re-watched it that it got through my thick head how extremely rapey that whole shotgun marriage plot-line is. Michael Keaton's performance in Spider-Man: Far from Home made me want a Beetlejuice sequel again, but can it really get past that baggage? Especially because the only development-hell sequel idea I've ever heard about over the years is "Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian"

I'd love a TV show that takes place in the world of Beetlejuice, but I have no interest in seeing the continuing adventures of the same set of characters. But the universe is completely compelling and full of all sorts of cracks and crevices that could be interesting to explore, as much as I don't want that world to get over-explained. But I think there's plenty more juice in that squeeze, I just don't want to see a middle-aged Lydia or an elderly Barbara and Adam getting in another wacky adventure with an edges-sanded-off Beetlejuice.

e: Also, Channeling Spirits is a great YouTube channel that breaks down lore of Beetlejuice, like what exactly his function in that world is, why you need to say his name 3 times, etc. Despite that sounding awful on paper it's actually interesting and well-done, going back to earlier drafts of the screenplay, looking at the screen-used props in depth, pulling in likely inspirations, etc. It's definitely just popcorn, but worthwhile if that's your thing.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Horror franchises in general are surprisingly hard to adapt, especially ones aimed at kids. Doesn't help that they rely on subtlety and implication, even the silly stuff like FNAF works because of your limited perspective, and those things are anathema to Hollywood. And most games really, I think Hollywood and AAA gaming have the same problem where all horror franchises just end up turning into action because shootbangs sell better.

I genuinely do not see how any of those images look remotely interesting. It was always unlikely it would look as interesting as the Lynch movie but these costumes are big time bland

Yeah, the pics of Gurney and Leto in space marine armor look really out of place. If you told me those photos were from an upcoming Thor movie, I'd have a hard time not believing it. Also, everything is too clean. The Lynch film's costumes looked lived-in, like the Fremen stillsuits has residual dust in or smeared with blood, here they're obviously costumes.

Also, getting real fashy vibes from the Atredies line-up photos, which could work if by playing up that both Houses and basically the entire unviersal noble society is bad and must destroyed.

Only thing I'm happy so far is Momoa shaved his man beard. Idaho should be well-groomed.

Yeah, Rebecca Ferguson would have been twelve when she had him if she was actually Timothée Chalamet's mother and you can tell. Francesca Annis was only a couple years older (and Kyle MacLachlan the same age), but I was younger when I saw Lynch's version so she played better as an older woman. Curious how successful Denis Villeneuve is going to be in navigating that sort of change in my personal context—Dune's a tricky book to adapt—but I've generally enjoyed his movies so I have high hopes.
