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 71 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 57 points 1 year ago

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

[-] moody@lemmings.world 34 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 year 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.

This is how I ended up seeing Sonic 3.

Did I enjoy Jim Carrey? Yes, very much so.
Do I want to go back and see Sonic 2, which I completely missed? No.

That actually sounds incredible lmao

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 46 points 1 year ago

They already created this game.

It was called Brutal Legend

It was quite good.

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year 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)

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Yup. Most that you can fault it for, is the mechanics later in the game, which try to teach you how to play multiplayer, getting too repetetive.

Because of course the game had PvP battling with music stages as bases.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

I think the main issue people had was it had lot of RTS sections further in.

They weren't actually that bad, but the demo gave no clue that the main chunk of gameplay was going to be running around issuing orders rather than the basic heavy metal themed hack-and-slash it pretended to be.

Movie is called Dark Souls, plot is Elden Ring. Hollywood on par for the course.

Was the minecraft movie ai generated

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 24 points 1 year ago
[-] vestigeofgreen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 year ago

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.

Final shot is Jack Black clumsily wading through a poison swamp, “not again!”

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 year ago

The swamp itself farts with every green bubble that boils and pops on the surface.

[-] Avenging5@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

"Rock of Ages" was good too

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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)

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

[-] JDPoZ@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

Goddamnit I give up with the formatting
