Andy Serkis as Pikachu. Either that, or Andy Serkis as Caesar in a Detective Pikachu outfit. Those are the only choices I will accept. |
Danny DeVito as the voice for Detective Pikachu is the only choice for the voice.

I don't want this to tarnish my mental image of Pikachu. On a scale of LEGO to Emoji, I'm pretty damn wary of this cash-grab movie actually turning out to be good.

I played Detective Pikachu and I'm kinda wondering if the game will ever get a sequel chapter. It was legitimately fun. I swear, if this film is the reason we never got it, that'll be upsetting...

I would've said that this movie may be intended for Japanese audiences, but the casting suggests otherwise.

It's in the hands of The Pokémon Company International. If they gave it the greenlight, then I guess there's something those guys see in this movie that no one else here does.
It is still possibly that they're letting Legendary do this in order to promote the game's release in the west. If that's the case, then I'm sure the Pokémon Company people are breathing quite heavily down their backs. Nintendo is notorious for saying no to licensing deals more so than most other companies, but the Pokémon Company is even more restrictive (and is the reason why there are no Pokémon amiibo that aren't related to Smash Bros.). What baffles me is not that this movie exists, but that the Pokémon Company let it happen when they've turned down many other ideas that made more sense.

Could work if they make it like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, with a mix of hand-drawn/Live action.
But who are we kiddin'?
Let's face it. This is being aimed at the kiddie market - so expect something along the lines of Spy Kids.
There really shouldn't be any expectations whatsoever for a Pokemon movie outside of the anime films you've already got.

So they're going the Death Note road with a complete different story and an actress from an HBO acclaimed series.
