Well, this movie in question hasn't opened yet.

I meant War of The Planet of The Apes.

[Broadwayfreak66]

Someone said WB was planning on doing something with classic films like Wizard of Oz and Chocolate Factory.

 

Like remakes of their classic films. 

They could do animated versions of them!

...DCasey?

Literally that was exactly your response at my very first comment.

If he/she really is a dcasey account mods will find out but I didnt dee the typical aggressiveness that he's got.

 

[FantasticBeasts]

Regarding the animated Potter, I cant see how it can work either.

It is not a kids series. It starts as a kids tale but on and on it evolves the way ita audience does.

From Azkaban on, it is clearly a teen series and there are a lot dark themes there too.

Given that each movie is a sepwrate story they could make something out of the Philoshopher's Stone which hasnt got a lot of dark elements in it.

They have released Tom and Jerry DTV movies for both of those properties.

It's a very DCasey-esque name and has the same posting style though, anger or no anger.

 I can - The Tales of Beedle the Bard could be its own 5 part series of movies...using the short stories as a jumping off point to tell an animated tale, since all of these tales were theoretically tales told to children...

How do you get the profile pic thing to, ya know, add pictures? Ugh

 

i think if this we're 2001, I think we might be able to talk about this more seriously, but the most commercially viable animated projects typically start as cartoons or comics. With a huge book series like Potter w/ tons of detail and a distinct tone and a fair amount of adult sensibilities, content, and themes, I don't think it would work, especially as so much of Potter's median audience is adults at this point. 

 

As a side project? Maybe 🙃

Have you seen the "history of magic in North America" videos on Pottermore? A small film project done in that spooky animation style could work for Beedle the Bard

No, but I'm only a fan, not a FAN!  My oldest daughter is the 2nd type of fan, and would have us at any movie which even breathes a Potter influence:)...I mean, she's already psyched for the next 4 movies in the current series!

I'm really interested as well to see what she does with them and how she heightens the stakes after an already tense first installment. 

 

The magic circus/freak show sounds like it's going to be a centerpiece: the discrimination metaphors, exploitation and manipulation, and I think one of the attractions is Merope Gaunt!

I just realized that every Christmas since 2011 has had a "controversial" movie of some sorts get released:

 

2011 - Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

2012 - Django Unchained

2013 - Wolf of Wall Street

2014 - The Interview

2015 - Concussion

2016 - Passengers

 

what will it be this year?  Jumanji?

War of the Planet of Apes is an average movie guys.

 

Weak legs = average movie

 

Hundreds of movie loving critics don't matter.

Downsizing seems the most likely candidate in all seriousness tbh.  Can imagine there could be some weird fucked up shit in that one.

That'd odd.  Should be Apes and Valerian.  Watching the two best movies of the year back to back.
