THE despatch CHRISTMAS 2023
Definitely fuel for your nightmares.
Though this image on its own could have been the reason for the flop, I
think having live action versions of popular games is really the worst of the
worst. This is because when animating characters, you can make them look
like the original reference, but with a live action movie you have to assign
actors who look nothing like the original video game character. For
example, in the upcoming Minecraft: The Movie
it has been announced that Jason Momoa who
plays Aquaman in the DC movies and looks like
this:
Will be playing Steve.
What also prompted me to write this article is
that Nintendo is making a live action version of The Legend of Zelda which
I can only imagine has an 80% chance of being awful!
I think overall that live action remakes are stupid and should have
stopped after the 1993 Mario movie! Though I think that if film makers are
loyal and correct to the original material but also have a new story then
these movies of tv shows can be better by a country mile.
