I don't get this Danny Devito meme. Detective Pikachu is probably the only way they could even attempt to make a live-action Pocket Monsters film not be horrible, but I'd rather just see an anime adaption like the Mystery Dungeon and Ranger games got a few specials. -Stuart Smith |

People complaining about them making a movie about a non localized game. Relax. The game will be localized by then I'm sure.

That it's Detective Pikachu, of all things, makes me wonder if it's actually Nintendo (or the Pokémon Company International) that's actually looking for a live-action Hollywood adaptation and that they chose Legendary Pictures to do it, not the other way around. That is, maybe Nintendo or TCPi wants to go all-out and make the best-looking companion piece to Detective Pikachu they can muster, and they've reached out to various Hollywood studios, particularly those that specialize in top-notch CGI.
Indeed. When you aim a movie at children, not only are you getting the tickets to let the parents in (so that's at least one adult admission's price more), if a kid takes a liking to a movie, they're going to want to see it again and again. That's why Hollywood studios can get very competitive over movies aimed at children and will pay top dollar to get them done.
Smurfs movies and Chipmunks movies make a TON of money. They're very well in touch with what kids like to see. This is the standpoint you have to see these decisions from: Whatever they feel will make them the most money, and whatever type of storytelling kids can't get enough of. |

Legendary is now owned by a large Chinese company, and actually the same one that is negotiating to buy part of Paramount. So they shouldn't have any issues getting the film in Chinese theaters, especially as Wanda is buying the rest of the company that they don't own. |

Scooby Dooby Doo!
![]() ![]() On the one hand, it's based on a spin-off game that nobody really cares about, so there's nothing to ruin (and it's already in English-speaking Britain). On the other hand, it's not based on the story that anybody who has ever heard of Pokemon at least knows something about.
And what's up with the source pointing ya to Google? Are we supposed to Google it ourselves? ![]() |

@BadNewsBlues That was one of the worst main-stream adoration of all time...
@enurtsol The post apocalyptical Scooby Dooby Doo reboot DC is currently doing is pretty interesting. It even features full blown gore, because Jim Lee demanded it. @leafy sea dragon Nintendo doesn´t own Pokemon, nor is GO done by them. The rights are pretty complicated actually. |
