I hate that I can visualize this greentext so easily.

The fact that they show a Dark Souls poster and proceed to describe an Elden ring movie is very funny. Like the producers don't know the difference.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 68 points 3 months ago

they'd be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.

look at interviews surrounding halo paramount, "we want to tell our own story in this setting" then proceeds to make garbage that actively disrespects the source.

“We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

The quote is amazing.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

that's an even better quote than the one I remembered

[-] Mesophar@pawb.social 86 points 3 months ago

I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 56 points 3 months ago

Tbh, i'd love a dark souls movie with Jack Black and Nick Cage.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 33 points 3 months ago

Jack Black as Solaire would work. I can see the jolly cooperation now

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 months ago

And a shaven Adam Sandler as patches. This would truly be an awful film. I’d see it. Not in theaters, certainly. Not even my own streaming subscription. But eventually I’ll be on someone’s couch and exactly drunk enough to dare them to put it on.

That actually sounds incredible lmao

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Honestly, anything w/ Jack Black is incredible. He somehow saved the Minecraft movie for me by turning it into a weird School of Rock nostalgia trip.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

They already created this game.

It was called Brutal Legend

It was quite good.

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

That was unfortunately a Jack Black of a different era. This one abandons his lifelong friend to be as hollywood safe as possible for saying meanie-bobeanie things about trump (as a comedian on a stage that is known for political jokes)

[-] xspurnx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

Pretty good soundtrack too.

THIS SUMMER, ROB SCHNEIDER DOOP DE DERP DEE DOODLEY DERP

This summer, unfortunately, Rob Schneider is

going, FULL MAGA.

zoom in on Schnieder doing a goofy face while wearing a red baseball cap as a slide whistle plays and he says "Who's afraid of the big, bad gays?"

The "Who let the dogs out" soundtrack made me lose my shit.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 6 points 3 months ago

You know, I don't think I've ever heard that song in full. Apparently the dogs are metaphorical

AI will create this movie 20 years from now, I hope you're happy.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Psh there's probably some Jabroni already working on it as we speak

"Rock of Ages" was good too

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

It might be one of the only jukebox musicals I don't want to kill with a brick, but let's aim higher

[-] gaja@lemm.ee 24 points 3 months ago

Was the minecraft movie ai generated

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 23 points 3 months ago
[-] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 22 points 3 months ago

Well, I know people would watch it.

I did not watch the Minecraft movie myself, no desire to experience a full theater of people throwing popcorn around screaming chicken jockey.

Movie industry is fucked.

[-] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

i enjoyed the Minecraft movie. i wouldn't say it was great, but i was watching it with my nephews and had fun. it helped that mamoa and black were clearly having fun doing it and had good chemistry together. (i even play the song "lava chicken" for fun hehe)

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

I watched it this week, no popcorn was thrown. The movie was a solid 5/10, and was only carried by JB being JB.

[-] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

I'm still sore about Jack Black being a coward and throwing Kyle Gass under the bus so IDK how much that would help with my enjoyment.

Just a matter of time until this trailer gets made. I remember the Oppenheimer one and now that we've got the AI trailers, you don't even need an actual movie to use as source material this time.

"Praise the sun!" Start trashing the cinema and blasting take on me full volume

Sweet baby Jesus I can see this whole thing in my head every time I read it, these previews are so cookie cutter it's insane

Goddamnit I give up with the formatting

Backslash, not forward slash.

[-] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I wish “The Studio” was ballsy enough to do an episode about this exactly.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that probably exactly what's gonna happen. Just make sure to end me before that please.
