Looks like the hierarchy of power in the Disney universe is about to change.


Anyway I never wanted this to happen but honestly I totally expected it. The minute I heard the Rock was cast in a Disney cartoon I thought "he's definitely gonna want to do the part in the remake"

The only real thing I'm curious about is whether Disney wanted to do it this early or if they were gonna save it for later but Johnson was like "listen we have to do this soon before I get any older because I'll be damned if I'm not Maui in live-action." Because after seeing Johnson somehow get Black Adam made against all common sense, I'm convinced he just decides to do a movie and Hollywood just accommodates him

I thought they literally did this but I guess I'm confusing reality with some youtube video ripping on the movie

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me

:lol: I was wondering a while back what they would do when they ran out of animated films to remake. I guess that answers that question. Somehow, I guess I figured the CGI canon was still too new to do that - or maybe more to the point, they were already 2/3rds "live-action" already by Disney standards.

Did the Rock's ego get so hurt by Black Adam underperforming that he barrelled into Iger's office begging for a Moana remake to make him relevant again?

Like this really came out of nowhere. Other remakes have had writers attached for ages. This one was either kept closely under wraps or is a very recent development as Iger looks for ways to increase profits and tries to locate which of their IP are underutilized and need more attention

Watching the Spider-Verse extended cut. I will never forgive Marvel for making them cut Ganke completely, he's a really fun character. Also the original Peter B introduction is comedy gold

They said he’d feature in the sequel, and from trailers… I don’t think that’s the case.

Miles needs a solo movie.

I genuinely do believe that's how it happened. He's accepting the fact that Maui was his best role and cashing in while he can.

It's very bad, except I love Ejiofor's delivery of is simply why I'll be KING. It's a nice way to sell Scar's delusions of grandeur (and a bit necessary when you don't get the visuals of his lust for power causing the local terrain to go crazy in the climax of the original).

Theoretically live action frozen would probably make more sense than most of the other remakes but they would still ruin it the same way as the other ones by not being able to decide whether to slavishly follow the cartoon or make it its own thing and making something half-assed and terrible in between

Hey maybe they can fix frozen 2.

I saw this earlier, and frankly I just can't get excited for it until I know if the movie is going to look like Puss in Boots of if they're going to go back to their standard style. I'll be extremely disappointed if it's the latter

Plus this is clearly an origin story of sorts, some chubby plumber from Brooklyn is not going to be able to do that obstacle course right out the gate, but the literal ruler of the Kingdom in this new world would easily be able to do it. By the end of the movie or that scene he's going to be able to do it, because Peach is gonna be like "sorry it's too dangerous to bring you" or whatever and Mario is gonna be like MY BROTHER and Mulan the obstacle course.

I still really, really hope that something about the Mario movie is unexpected. Mario learns to be a hero to stop the evil bowser is maybe the most boring possible way to approach an IP where Bowser kidnaps Peach so often it's basically a punchline and sometimes Mario and Luigi have to shrink down and crawl around inside bowser before meeting him for some Golf on the weekend. At least Sonic made it an Eggman origin movie.

I get "it's the exact thing you were expecting, just the best possible version of it" has been Nintendo's schtick for a long time now, but, like...the few times they do something new with an IP its usually hailed as the second coming. I'm looking at you, BotW.

This is answered by reading the article.

quote:


Beyond running Illumination, Meledandri, who sat down with Variety with Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto for this week’s cover story on the making of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” also serves as a creative partner to DreamWorks Animation as it looks to reboot the “Shrek” franchise. In that capacity, he’s keen to see the return of the film’s original voice cast (which includes Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy) for “Shrek 5.”


Both Studios are owned by NBC UNIVERSAL.

Are you somehow surprised that a movie titled Super Mario Bros stars Mario?

Like…what? Is this a serious complaint? That they’d decide to have quite literally the most famous video game character of all time as the star of a movie that has his name in the title? Were you literally born yesterday?

I'd kind of like to hear the same lines done by the current Peach game voice actor. The movie has the, I guess, 'cool girl' voice? Breathy princess voice deserves it's time in the sun.

I think that poster is making a crack at the How to Train Your Dragon sequels, where there's a lot of drama over Hiccup becoming reluctant king when there's already a character who could probably run the place (Astrid) and would probably be happier with the job. So it really does feel like a blindspot on the writer's part. Otherwise there is nothing new about the strongest/most competent character being a side character, it's the legacy of Gandalf.
