Post failed attempts to kickstart a film series.
>>198964145There are so many YA adaptations that actually got multiple installments but still petered out and died before making it to the end of the series that it looks like Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Twilight are the only franchises that actually MANAGED to reach the end of their books
>>198964192
>>198964210
>>198964224Special shoutout to this motherfucker, who actually made it all the way to The Final Book: Part 1 and then Part 2 got canceledI can't imagine the blue balls in anyone who was actually emotionally invested in this
>>198964145It's so bizarre John Malkovich was in this.
>>198964145>>198964192>>198964210eragon, percy and william moseley are so handsome hot i want to see them in a hot threesome sex scene
I hate to say it but...
>>198964145>you can't title your dragon movie dragon
>>198964252Your post could literally be John Malkovich's IMDB bio quote
>>198964224>try to find a cure to a disease by killing off boys one by onestupid dumbass premise. stupid dumbass females queers need to stop pretending they can write scifi.
>>198964274max pirkis was extremely icsh
Claimed
>>198964290I remember really liking the aesthetic of this film, like a lot. I recall almost nothing about the plot. Something about a hole in the ground I think.
>>198964145
>>198964368It's scifi World War 1 but the shelling accidentally woke up alien zombies so now an american and a chink and a bong and a german and a frenchie and a mexican have to team up to find where the zombies are coming from before the earth is overrun
>>198964255>william moseleyGood taste
>>198964192I don’t know how best to describe it, but it feels like almost every YA adaption had a checklist of shit they had to include and the rest of the movie was just finding an excuse to link between them.This is obviously not counting the ones that were very obviously a completely different script that was crudely welded to whatever IP the execs happened to find in the drawer
>>198964580i also want to see william moseley savagely buttsex ben barnes
>>198964649>>198964580>>198964255>not wanting to fuck them yourselfGay and a cuck, what a combo
>>198964145I liked this movie as a kid, watched it multiple times>>198964346I read a book from this series as a kid and it was weird, half of it was just "church is le bad", I'm not religious myself but it was cringe
>>198964274Master was intended to be 2 films but the studio panicked and linked them
>>198964224you wouldn't last a day in the Scarch
>>198964700i'm not finished: i enter the room with a naked and unconscious skandar keynes in my arms
>>198964776to me he'll always be the guy who got to fuck teenage charlie hunnam
>>198964883>who got to fuck teenage charlie hunnamGod, I wish that was me
>>198964145Saphira was my first nonhhuman crush. That voice, her personality, the sexy scaly body. God damn.
>>198964739Big if true. Sauce?
>>198964973i know the feel, fren
How do you fuck this up?
>>198964210That’s the second of two movies though
>>198965166pretty easily, turns out
>>198965166My guess is not enough Hailee. Didn’t even know she was in this desu.
kek
>>198965220Of a seven movie series where four of them didn't get made
>>198965362>>198965220Pretty sure there was a third?
>>198965166Asa Butterfield became so sexy hot in his 20s especially when he dyed his hair blond. I wish Asa would do a gay sex scene with Aramis Knight.
>>198965327the boy was cute tho
>>198965035The first movie was going to be called "Master" and the second was going to be "Commander".
>>198964332we're never getting the dark universe are we bros
>>198965559Good. I hate Tom Cruise.
>>198964240>yas qween with lesbian haircut on the coveri dont even want to know what the fuck that is let alone watch it
>>198965582tom's an okay guy actually. we were friends in school and the sex was awesome. we still meet up a few times each year and the sex is still awesome.
>>198964145This book series was a lesson in disappointment.The last book sucked donkey dick.Now I see he wrote another one.
>>198965028This post awoke feelings in me that had been buried for years.....tfw I'll never be a magical dragonriderTfw no cute dragon gf to explore the world and save it withWhy even live BROS WHY EVEN GO ON
>>198965327Kek, this was shilled every fucking whereNobody watched it
Maze Runner is apparently a trilogy but I only ever heard of the third one, pic related.
>>198965771i watched it because the boy is cute
>>198965793fuck
>>198965793>several cute guys>no gay sex scenevery disappointed
>>198965327>Blonde-haired, blue-eyed negroIs the character written like this?
>>198965811>fuckyes, please. i want to fuck dylan o'brien and thomas brodie sangster.
>>198964739Honestly the series would work out better as a streaming service series. You could squeeze in the doctors espionage activities.Maybe cut out a lot of the pride and prejudice shenanigans and that time Aubrey had to disguise himself as a bear to escape France
>>198965830What do you think?
>>198965830He's describes as "vaguely eurasian"
>>198965830>Butler is described as a large Eurasian man, who is almost seven feet tall and weighing 200 kilograms, with deep blue eyes.
>>198964210I wanted so bad to see The Magicians Nephew as a movie. The book feels like a weird acid trip almost.
>>198964346Main chick has some rocking fucking tits now
>>198965327Does anyone else remember the random commercials before movies talking about the artemis fowl books and how a movie was in the works? This was 20+ years ago. I wanted so bad for there to be an Artemis Fowl movie but I knew they would fuck it up.
>>198965917When I was younger I imagined him as a blonde The Rock
>>198964240This looks like a SyFy original movie lmao
>>198965700You take a personality quiz that determines your whole life based on one trait except for superspecial people that have multiple traits.
>>198965830>zey are adapting?>race lift eet
>>198964274If white birth rates weren't declining a sequel could have been profitable
The Mummy 2017
>>198964192At least Series of Unfortunate Events got a kino series
>>198967127I think the movie was pretty content as a self contained thing. I loved how it combined the first three books. Been meaning to get around to the netflix show, they did the whole books series right?
Jawn Carter…
>>198965559If it was going to be anything other than Brendan Frasier's character from the 1999 Mummy fighting different Universal monsters than it wouldn't have been worth it.
>>198966182Holy fuck anon wasn't kidding
>>198964145shame i got invested in eragon cause magic and dragonsalso this moviethe girls are so hot and they eventually became popular for a time later
>>198964145I always thought his mentor looked really cool
>>198968738Jeremy Irons made a career out of being the one good part in shit movies
>>198969119That sounds about right
>>198965166This came out at the same time as Trayvon/BLM/gay marriage slipslope, and so they canceled the original author because he once said gays are sinners.
redpill me on Mortal Engines
>>198966182Wowzers
>>1989654367 - 4 = ?
>>198964428You wish.I fucking wish.
Yet an another "Harry Potter killer" based on a fantasy novel.
>>198964224Thats the second one in the series and there was a third one. The franchise failed but it surely got kickstarted.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maze_Runner_(book_series)#Film_adaptations
>>198965436yeah they did Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so they managed to do all the books where some combination of the Pevensie kids were main characters
>>198964240>>198966685Diminishing returns with each one, until they decided to make the last one a TV movie on some channel that's gone now. But half the cast wouldn't come back.
>>198971983I'm still hoping for a high budget version of The Magician's Nephew. It's never going to happen is it?
>>198966155>>198972239It's too kino.The Last Battle is the one that always felt like an acid trip to me as a child, I should go back and reread it.
>>198967127Unfortunate events is kinda cringe but creative and not YA trash.>>198964332First movie I saw Sofia in, now she is my waifu, I'd breed her guts so hard if I saw her irl.
>>198971854Did the books even end or are they still ongoing? Did he get to ALICE?
>>198972418I think they're still cranking them out.
>>198964192is that Kang the Zesty: Beater of Women on the right as some kind of Pan?
>>198972304My favorite since first reading it. The settings are great, the adventure is exciting and it connects to The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe. Yet it's never made. I haven't read it in a while, but it really is pretty dark for a childrens book. Imagine being Susan, hearing everyone you knew and cared about died in a train accident. You now have to identify their bodies and you have to arrange all their funerals and live on without them. On top of that, it was all because of a delusion they wanted you to join them on and if you did you would have died. And if you had just convinced them it was all the games of children, they'd still be a live too.Also, Aslan>Fuck Susan.
>>198964145>I want to make a series about a dragon>What should I call it?>Hmm, dragon is already taken...>*sees e above d on the keyboard*
>>198965166I did enjoy the film at some sort tho. Harrison Ford was awful tho
>>198964145Who could possibly forget Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant?
>>198964276This is getting a sequel though
>>198965327I read the comic based off the book and they drew the elves with massive tits
>>198966155Blatant nuclear war allegory. Lewis really did love his allegory didn't he.
>>198972689No, it isn’t.
>>198972801Recently came back from the dead, I wasn't expecting it either.
>>198972418>>198972451Joseph Delaney died 2 years ago.
>>198965166I found the movie ok, didn't read the book. Why did it bomb?
>>198972832RIP>The Spook's Revenge was 2013Huh, I thought there had been more released since then.
>>198972457No that's Alpa Chino.
>>198967209>I loved how it combined the first three booksIt killed off Monty and Josephine before the audience has any reason to care about them. Justice Strauss was also completely butchered.
>>198964145>Mr. Brooks 2: Someone kidnaps his family, he must use his psychopathy to save the day>Mr. Brooks 3: Mr. Brooks vs. his even crazier daughter
>>198972239not unless they make a streaming series, Horse and his Boy is my personal favorite of the books and I fully acknowledge it's in the same boat
>>198972671I remember loving these books as a kid and being so disappointed when they cast John C Reily and the Disney vibes this movie gave off.
>>198973800If any of the failed YA franchises need a do-over, Cirque Du Freak deserves it the most. It's such a great concept that got shafted because of the era the film was released in.
>>198965738The whole seres its a plagiarization of star wars with dragons.Word for fucking word.And its shit
>>198964726Philip Pullman basically made a career out of seething about C.S. Lewis/Narnia
>>198972477iirc they were making a streaming series for the whole series, though it might be too much to hope they make it all the way through
>>198964145This was, surprisingly, not the horrible movie every seems to think it was. It's comparable to Dragonheart and better than most of the 4 sequels that somehow got.
>>198974710lol yes it was, here are your Urgals Bro! Also the setting for the final battle was fucking pathetic, but at least it helped Jeremy Irons pay for his Castle
I doubt many here have even heard of this let alone the book series it's based on.
>>198964145ugliest dragon ive ever seen, i have no idea who signed off on that design
>>198964145Trey tried to repeat Twilight success but failed miserably
>>198964145Picrel. Also there's a show based on the books but it was canceled after three seasons
>>198964346I loved the books as a kid, and this movie fucking gutted me, holy shit. It was so fucking bad that even kid me could sense it.
>>198975625I'm guessing you don't watch a lot of low-budget fantasy movies.>>198975810That one at least was a single novel and they covered the whole thing. Also, WTF is it with meyer and weird love triangles?
>>198973214Monty's portrayal is charismatic enough and the idea of their future together is so close that the death is definitely impactful. I agree on Josephine but she is basically portrayed as an antagonist which I think works well. Its been too long since I've read the books to defend the Justice Strauss bit
My dad really likes these books for some reason and went to see the movie. He didn't think it would be good but he still said he's "gotta see it". Is this what blind brand loyalty looks like?
>>198965897>approaches you dressed as a troonhaha totally, I would love to see master and commander on streaming, they could make it episodic and LET FLY>TROWS OFF MY TRANNY GARB REVEALING A BRITISH NAVAL OFFICER UNIFORM AND FIRES AT YOU WITH A FLINTLOCK PISTOL
>>198976128>That one at least was a single novel and they covered the whole thing.Iirc they were still fighting aliens at the end of the movie >Also, WTF is it with meyer and weird love triangles?Women love such stories, simple as
>>198964192Didn't they finish those maze runner books?
>>198964274fortunately it works perfectly well as a standalone movie
>>198964276They still keep teasing a sequel, I want to believe
Books weren't great either but i still want to see that scene from second book where Ringer escaped from enemy base by literally using her own shit
>>198965166This really only existed to put the ending to screen and it did a good enough job at thatIt's otherwise so full of monologue as to be unfilmable
>>198976741Better quality
>>198975578It's been mentioned multiple times fucktard.
>>198976350This was my attitude for Aquaman 2, it actually wasn't that bad though
>>198964346I had the video game of this at one time, you can imagine how it was.
I'm still waiting for my Skullduggery Pleasant movie
>>198964594>every YA adaption had a checklist of shit they had to includewell that's how they write YA novels so it makes sense the movies would follow the same script
>>198973929Yeah a proper adaption with the right tone could be pretty good. I can see them doing it as a series on some streaming platform.
>>198964210love how they just gave up on these
>>198968682In retrospect the magic in eragon was supremely lame.It was awesome when it was bigdick spellcasters nuking 100 000 infbros in 5 seconds, but magic should shine the most when it's a wizard duel. Instead they have a literal staring contest, wtf was he thinking? The best chapters are the Roran chapters btw at least besides the ones where he's hilariously OP for no reason, best mage character was the guy in his squad who was super low tier compared to the big shots but still incredibly valuable to this group of foot mooks. I have a soft spot for shitty support mages.
>>198964145a friend of mine used to read those books in secondary school.are they any good?
>>198977651They're YA fantasy books, of course they're not good.
>>198964240please tell me this is about a giant woman
>>198964276the big eyes look retarded
>>198965166It's a shit book?
>>198965559we already did remember those old black and white movies where dracula was hanging out with frankenstein's creature and shit?
>>198964258Sadly it's still the most interesting movie to come out of Phase 4. Which isn't saying much.
>>198965028so im not the only one that falls in love with a character because of her voice
>>198977682lol no, it's a bog standard YA series that's a hair away from being a blatant Hunger Games rip off
Both sad and relieved
>>198965166How could you possibly make this movie interesting?
>>198965811is this blade runner but in a maze or something? i remember some girl i had a crush on liked this movie and i think she read the books i dont remember
>>198964145>It's better to ask forgiveness than permission.Tbh this has worked out fairly well in my life.
Could've been legendary.
>>198977871The movies take very little from the books in terms of actual plot. Especially the 2nd and 3rd one. Which is a bummer because I thought the books had some pretty cool things going on despite not really being great.
>>198971140i feel compelled to call her mommy.
>>198971854is that mommy juliane moore?
>>198976346i dont know why i always laugh when vin diesel is trying to look serious
>>198976995i actually watched one of the aquaman movies when it was on tv and i thought it was kinda cool, i liked the giant crabs, i dont really know if its good or bad compared to other super hero movies.
>>198977842aw lame, why would i watch anything starting a woman if she is not catering to one of my many fetishes? what were they thinking?
>>198977941but im assuming a maze is involved right?
>>198965327>family that is entirely devoted to serving the Fowls is black>fairy police that just allowed Holly as the first woman actually has a bunch of women alreadyWhy do liberals always make things more offensive when they try to "fix" them?
>>198965499this. they really put the cart before the horse planning out how great of a franchise it’s going to be. reminds me of what happened with After Earth
>>198977661I watched this all the time as a kid. Can't remember a single thing that happens in it though
>>198978430You would think people would have learnt to not put too much into untested IP after Samurai 8
>>198976891>Somehow the only picture I managed to missWell Fuck me.
>>198965166You're allowed to get away with so much more in books than in movies. Ender's Game is considered acceptable reading for pre-teens yet it has X-rated material in it (like the protagonist brutally killing his bully while they're both fully nude).
>2024>I am forgotten
>>198975810I forgot that Sersha had this turd on her resume.
>>198978100better than anything Snyder directed, that's for sure
>>198977728That had better be a boy.
>>198979539im not sure which one i watched but it was pure dumb fun
surprised nobody posted this yet
>>198972671>read this>cry like a retard when they are burying him alive>the film's trailer shows him playing with a game console while in the coffinnever ever bothered with that crap or the rest of the books after that lol
>>198979642this had potential but Craig’s a fag and Ford should have died in his first plane crash.
>>198965705So you're like 60, then?
>>198965823Get pozzed, sodomite.
>>198965028If your dick didn't twitch at her voice your a faggot.
More DC fail.
>>198964332>>198965559KWAB
>>198965166Why did they get a Latino manlet to play the bully?
>>198980903He was a latino in the book, forget how tall he was.
>>198973366Good movie
>>198979642? That movie didn't try to be a franchise. It ended pretty conclusively.
>>198980945Fair enough then, but couldn’t they at least get a tall guy for the job? Not only did they go with a manlet but they went with a manlet who’s best known for being in a fucking Disney show.
>>198965166>How do you fuck this up?Most of the book takes place in his head and it was considered unfilmable. Turns out it was.
>>198977937The studio fucked this up by giving this the most boring fucking name any movie has ever had. Who the fuck would know or care who John Carter was?
>>198979379The best thing to come out this movie is the picture of her with the giant Toblerone.
>>198964276Surprisingly, a sequel is still possible (keep in mind that James Cameron tried to do this since 2000)(How many references are there to Alita in Dark Angel? Manga Alita also had those big octopus lips.)As a big fan of the original manga (and Last Order), I thought Rodriguez film was kinda weird and messed up way to much the lore and normalized the world (which should be more post-apocaliptic). Showing Desty Nova so soon and without glasses felt like an heresy. Yet I still enjoyed it and would rewatch it and its potential sequel(s). It was smart to have a digital protagonist: Rosa Salazar can hit the wall but her character will remain young forever.I also keep reading shill articles about Alita being the best live-action adaption of a manga... which sadly could be true.
>>198964224These actually made through every book and turned such a good profit they're apparently making another one now. Horrible example.
>>198978203Only in the first one.
>>198965917Black Dave Bautista?
>>198964346Not gonna lie, she doesn't look that pretty now.Those tits though, roundy big, blue veined and about to burst with thick creamy nutritious sticky milk. I bet you could survive for a week just sucking at the good old tits.
>>198964224I didn't like the kids who read this seires so I declined to read it
>>198975578>>198975810>>198975984God, why tf do these all look the same. Could they not put a minimum of creativity into this past focus group testing?
>>198964274Watched this for the first time a year ago, surprisingly good movie really a shame not even one sequel was made. Really wanted to see more Aubrey and Maturins' adventures.
>>198964346I remember when this came out my catholic school sent out letters warning parents to not allow us to watch it. I watched it out of rebellion and it bored the crap out of me
>>198972776I must be retarded because that went way over my head
>>198981641>Not gonna lie, she doesn't look that pretty now.Anon, have you penetrated anyone yet?
>>198964346They made a BBC series and it was okay. Had some good moments here and there. Second season felt like filler, they cut out a lot of the good scenes from the book. Oh and they made certain characters randomly black which made some of you retards mad I'm sure.Still slightly neutered compared to the books but not as badly as the movie.>>198981734They only said that because of the book, the movie is super sanitized. Made the religious references extremely vague to nonexistent.
>>198972671Is this the same as Abrahama Lincoln: Vampire Slayer
>>198964145>>198964192>>198964210>>198964224>>198964240>>198964258>>198964276>>198964290>>198964332>>198964346>>198965166>>198965327>>198965811>>198971854>>198972671>>198972767>>198972767>>198975578>>198975810>>198975984>>198976346>>198976350>>198976741>>198977661>>198978800>>198979642>>198980219>>198980844>>198981459Why do all these posters look like they were all made from the same company?Why do the cast members look eerily similar?
are movies over? It seems like these were made right when everyone became a smartphone addict and just endlessly scrolled twitter/tiktok/youtube/instagram forever. do modern kids even read or like films or tv anymore?
>>198964145I loved those eragon books when I was a kid, I was amazed that the guy who wrote it also drew the cover how did the movies go?
>>198981898Honestly they might have been.But it could just be different companies just copying what everyone else is doing.
>>198981909Barbie and Oppenheimer were huge.
>>198982064I did too, read up to Brisinger or whatever the 3rd book was
>>198982064the fuck did you get that idea? John Jude Palencar was the artist for all the cover art
>>198977661That looks like a TV adaption
>>198981909The time of >add IP get instant returns Is over for now. Though as this thread shows, that was a shaky rule even during the heyday of adaptions and endless sequels
>>198971140>cartoonwolf.gif
>>198964317Is that what the plot was? I never watched or read it
>>198972713You, uhYou gunna post it, king?
>>198983101Bro, you should have just let him have itIt’s like telling him Santa isn’t real
>>198985321No, Piglet
It ended with a very strong sequel hook.>>198977941>I thought the books had some pretty cool things going on despite not really being great.I feel like this is just about every YA novel>book has cool premise and worldbuilding>totally wastes it by being a YA novel where the main stakes seem to be teenage drama
>>198964883YOU'RE A BIG GUY
>>198981898Movie posters aren't usually very original. They're just there to showcase the actors names really.
>>198985854Old Kingdom and Edge Chronicles tended to dodge this for the most part. Lirael bitching about personal problems too much results in her getting bitten and told to stop the self pity
which YA fiction actually got a good adaptation? I never bother reading the popular novel at the time other than key to the kingdom
>>198964145Why are/were Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich playing the same characters in so many straight up bad fantasy movies?
>>198964145This slop flopped so hard it caused the IP to be sold off shortly after.
>>198986249Holy fuck those costumes look shit
>>198978430Is this the moment that started his JUSTing?
>>198981898>why do these derivative cash grab movies have derivative cookie cutter posters?
>>198965811Kaya must be the most photogenic person in this world.You cannot take a bad picture of her.Simple as.
>>198964210At least first movie was kino
Surprised no one's mentioned Sky High (2005) yet.
>>198965035>film 1master and commander>film 2far side of the worldWatch the film again and you'll notice very subtle character absences; particularly with the marines, the whalers, hoge and the deckhands.
>>198965738The author was still in high school when the first one was being written/published right?
>>198987412He got the idea at 15, but was in his twenties when he actually wrote it
>>198971854The is the worst adaptation of all time.In the book it's a harry potter prisoner of azkaban aged boy. 13ish.Im the book it shows his lovely older brother and his wife. In the book its a slow progression of geniune horror considering its a kids book.You fall in love with the strange witch girl as he does and when the evil witch appears shes genuinely terrifying. This one annoys me
>>198977340Based and Skullduggerypilled
>used to feel sad that my childhood favourites never got adapted >now I’m happy it’s never going to happen
>>198978775Amazing what you can hide in a book
>>198986249None of you guys paid to see this shit right.
>>198976346I remembered the redhead went to a dream world or something and there was hoards of demons/witches that were trying to grab her. Definitely a sequel tease that never happened
>>198964145>>198964210>>198964224>>198964240>>198964276>>198964274>>198964346Fuck you I liked it -core
>>198986249I liked parts of this movie, the cast and characters were fun. It had a breakfast club/17 again vibe to it. But jesus christ the suits and especially the zords were visual vomit, made the latter part of the movie unwatchable. Still sad they teased Tommy for a sequel and we never got to see him
>>198986249The power rangers marathon twitch stream they had for the movie was kino>tfw tune in just in time for the silver ranger in space episode
>>198976554lol what the fuck anon
They were supposed to make a sequel adaptation of the Odyssey with Sean Bean but it never happened
>>198964224I miss Scorchposting
>>198990002It sadly didn’t last a day in the skarch
>here's that hot new billion dollar franchise I've been telling you about
>>198964258This will always have a soft spot in my heart because it was the first movie I saw Barry Keoghan in, so I thought he was a shit actor. Then I watched Banshees and he blew me away with the emotions at display. I don't think I'd have been as affected if I hadn't expected him to be really shit and that credit goes to The Eternals.
>>198964274>mfw there's been rumblings about making a prequel film>mfw the producers refuse to see that they've got a GoT-tier tv show on their hands with one season for each book if they do it right They could even use the ship set to then make two miniseries of O'brian's two other naval novels, as a sort of spin-off in the same vein, to justify the costs of the set.
>>198964240lmfao i dont know if ive ever seen a film with an ad on the cover/poster
>>198965897>Maybe cut out a lot of the pride and prejudice shenanigans and that time Aubrey had to disguise himself as a bear to escape France>cutting out some of the best parts that made people love the series nigga u gay
>>198971854Wait that was actually based on a novel? I watched it and it gave off some real The Last Witch Hunter/Season of the Witch type vibes, not something that had the meat of a novel behind it.
>>198990830I actually had to look it up. a lot of those fantasy movies made in the early 10s were based on YA novels so I had a hunch.
>>198979642What part of this tried to kickstart a franchise, though? It was a simple concept for one movie. Cowboys fighting aliens. I don't remember anything that could set up a larger series. I never understood the hate it got when it released. I got exactly what I expected out of it. The quality was a bit better than expected, if anything.
>>198967209>Been meaning to get around to the netflix show, they did the whole books series right?Same, and yes I believe so.>>198975984Watched it just for Lily Collins in all black. Terrible movie but worth it for me.
>>198987412No, that was just a marketing gimmick they used to sell his books. I can't believe how often I read about how a kid wrote these books and they were so good he instantly got them published, then it turned out that he wasn't a kid when he wrote them and his parents were in the publishing business. It's like how they kept saying that Rowling was a poor single mum sitting in a cafe with her kid because she was one step from homeless began writing HP on napkins because she couldn't afford paper. Then it turned out she wasn't actually forced to live where she did, she chose to have her own apartment instead of living with her sister, her apartment wasn't that small, she held off getting jobs because she was afraid that she wouldn't finish her book if she got one, she sat in that cafe because it was owned by her family and she got free coffees there and most of the damn book was already written.
>>198964290>YO LIL MUTIE
>all these failed franchises>but The Scorpion King somehow got four sequels how
>>198967209Yeah, it goes through the whole thing. Ending is happier than the books’ but overall the Netflix series is quite satisfying even if repetitive
>>198972239Didn't you hear? The visionary director of Barbie will be writing/directing these for Netflix.Which character is going to get the America Ferrera monologue?
>>198972767no idea this was supposed to be a seriesthe world they created was actually very interesting, it's just that 1/2 or 3/4 in the movie falls apart (whenever rhianna shows up).also it seemed like it was supposed to be more mature rated because there was a bad dub of "ass" with "butt"
>>198989985How would that work? Troy didn't have any mythical elements. Were they just going to all of sudden introduce the gods?
>>198991490They just get lost in a really big storm and end up on islands filled with dangerous natives? The Cyclops island is filled with inbred retards, which is how they can get tricked by the "no one poked my eye out" routine.
>>198972689>>198976649
>>198964274hurts
>>198964210They should have fucked off with the kids and the lion and just done a series with Santa Claus as an arms dealer.
>>198991619Oh yeah that reminds me, they tried to make The Terror into a franchise. They might have been successful too, if they hadn't gone full retard and abandoned the Boats perspective. They should have made season 2 be about Anson's Voyage, with all the scurvy, starvation, mutiny and trekking through the jungles of South America while starving. It would be easy to insert some kind of curse into the real life events, or just have the supernatural angle come up once they get to South America.
>>198967509Woola is the best doggo I can see how people thought it was boring. The lore is lacking and the film tries too hard to push feminism.I want to read the original to see how it fares.
>all this canceled kino>while superhero slop is thriving Sad
>>198991490>didn't have any mystical elementsIt did but it was very subtle
>>198975810This was kino thoughbeit
>>198964240The main girl is cute and I think the whole "distil high school personality types into sci-fi factions" is a solid idea, albeit a little derivative.
>>198964276The big eyes were a horrible design choice. Way too offputting for the normie audience they needed.
>>198967209It's actually alright. There's a few annoying reddit-y pop culture gags and fourth-wall breaking bits, and Neil Patrick Harris is nowhere near as good as Jim Carrey, but it's worth a watch if you liked the books.
>blatant sequel bait with the aliens abducting him at the end>sequel never got greenlit
>>198979715The books are essentially unfilmable. It's clearly a YA adult series but the books contain graphic violence and gore as fundamental parts of the story/tone that you'd never be able to get away with unless the movie was rated R
>>198973800I was expecting to hate John C Reilly, and whilst I think he was miscast he wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be. But yeah there's a lot of quips in the script and the movie suffers for it.
>>198972493I am ashamed that I never noticed this
>>198991197>Watched it just for Lily Collins in all black. Terrible movie but worth it for me.hehe me too
>>198975810>what sort of cool sexy supernatural thing do we put in our teen saga? What gets the kids hot these days?>parasites
>>198993042The main problem is trying to adapt the action. The books make it clear that, outside very close matches, vampire combat ends in about five passes at most. The Murlough fight adaption is particularly funny, because the book makes it clear that, unlike an action movie, they didn’t stand around bantering before getting into an epic fight; Mr Crepsley just ambushes and kills him while he’s too stunned to fight back
>>198976350did he like it?
>>198975810It’s impressive how she manages to write such revoltingly evil characters completely by accident.The aliens are genocidal sociopaths on a level I’ve rarely seen outside of characters written to be objectively evil.
>>198966155It's got a manga
>>198972767The choice of actors was terrible, the 2 protagonists clearly wanted to be anywhere but near the other one.>>198976350Wasn't the book's protagonist scarred really bad?The movie one seems cuter with it...
