Yeah, your post just made me go to the Playmobil Movie wikipedia page just to check who had produced and was distributing it and that's where I saw that it was a french production. Hence my great shame.
radcliffe played a farting corpse.
he'll play anything he thinks is fun.
lol. It's still French. Just Pathé rather than Europacorp.

I actually didn't know this.
Radcliffe is just doing whatever role he likes now, I don't think he's hurting for money (unless he has a coke and hooker habit he's good at hiding)...
Yea I could see myself watching Aladdin at some point due to the changes. Can't say the same for Lion King.
It's gonna be real interesting to see how the much the audience takes to TLK. I say it will open high (around $160m) but will have bad drops over the coming weeks.
We've been over this already, it's the battle of Will Smith VS Beyonce.
Whoever wins, we lose.

I'm in the minority but i do love the style the remake has taken. Can't wait to see it.Yes, let's talk about that shitshow.
He should make a movie about himself being a wash out Harry Potter actor with cameo of the people involve in HP franchise while poking fun at JK Rowling TERF stand, directed by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Billboard in Ebbing).

If it's got a 30 minute interlude taking a dump on Crimes of Grindelwald, I'm all for it.
Aurelius Dumbledore? Are you serious? Aurelius freakin Dumbledore? I just can't even right now...
Speaking of STX.
Did we discuss how they delayed My Spy after Stuber opening weekend came in?

No. STX is going to be dead before 2020 ends. They are delaying films left and right, mishandling marketing for other movies, losing partners, and looking for more funding. STX is fucked.

Don't worry, he'll change his tune about being in Fast and Furious after the Rock in Hobbs & Shaw and Cena in F&F9

We may be in front of an Aladdin situation, where TLK gets dumped on by critics but is loved by audiences. Or maybe not. It's gonna be interesting to track this movie's legs.
Also damn at that Zatt meltdown. I get this place can get frustrating sometimes, but making things about him on a thread about US politics is... well, it denotes a severe lack of perspective. Hope he uses his time off the site for some self-reflection. Wish him the best.
I think the photorealism angle has a chance of pulling in people. At least it seems like that's the angle they were attempting to go for. If they miss the mark and all this "realism" was for nothing and this movie underperforms I'mma be pissed they wasted it on my second favorite movie of all time.
But there's no world in which a movie like this gets under 1B.
The photoreal gimmick can go either way to be honest. It might be the next great fad. Or not.
Yep, that's the key. Either way I don't see an outcome where this earns less than a billion WW, but whether or not the gimmick proves successful or not will play a part in how much it moves beyond that mark.
I really have no idea how The Lion King will go. I would think that the weird combination of a heavily subdued take on the spirited material from the original cartoon with technically impressive, yet utterly bland photorealistic CG would do plenty to lead to negative word of mouth from people who wanted something emotive and entertaining. If I could say nothing else nice about the new Aladdin, at the very least I wouldn't describe it as uninspired like that high-budget nature documentary.
Speaking of realism in TLK, man, reading through the Art and Making of TLK (remake) artbook that just came out Tuesday is kinda depressing. In the description of each character the designers describe how some of the animals were more expressive or "human like" in early screenings but a lot of that got toned down as that doesn't reflect how the animals react in real life.
And they say that like it's a good thing. It hurt reading that apparently Timon in the rough drafters for the remake used his arms and hands like a human would but they were told to tone it down. Sucks that this movie had to limit itself all for the sake of the gimmick.

Ugh. Everything about this movie just says to me that the people in charge kept making the worst decisions possible.
The goal should have never been photorealism. But I'll wait for the movie to make any judgement on the quality of the film itself.
Really looking forward to this but I fear for its performance at the box office
Never underestimate how much general audiences disappoint.
Heh, you can see this if you compare the teaser to the final movie.
There used to be the slightest twinkle of emotion in Simba. But he couldn't even have that. This movie's ethos is just deeply misguided.
Then it will take 2 hrs and 14 mins from the moment of its first showing to outgross Stuber.
I had everyone jump down my throat last week for calling these Disney remakes soulless cash grabs now that's what the majority of people across the forum are calling lion king ha.
To be fair, literally the exact same thing happened with Aladdin, then when it came out, the majority of folks posting in the OT liked it.
You're just joshing me right now.
This is all a big joshing, right?
You paid for Peppermint.
Peppermint.
And yet you can't find 90 minutes in your life to go watch this.
