filmlover Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 A live-action Shrek remake would have more potential than another sequel in today's environment. One of the main reasons the Disney remakes are so huge is seeing big name stars bringing iconic animated characters to life. I kinda want it to happen just to see the inevitable "Keep James Corden Away From Shrek" petition that would gain a lot more attention than the one currently going around to keep him out of Wicked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no no no no no no. If that happens, I will personally get into a fistfight with every Warner executive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) How about an Ice Age live action remake? They can still use that same brilliant CGI for the Baby of course. Spoiler Edited January 17, 2022 by Brainbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Jonwo said: To go back to my point about Shrek, it does surprise me that Universal hasn't considered a live action Shrek considering the amount money that Disney has made from remaking their animated canon into live action films especially the big titles. Only Shrek fits that category. I don't think Croods, How to train your dragon, kung fu panda etc will work in live action, as these movies are still fresh in public memory. Maybe 10 years down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 A live action Shrek sounds like a full-on Cats level nightmare to me. I’m firmly in the ‘no thanks’ camp. A new animated sequel though? Bring that right on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The snowstorms this weekend shutting down theaters means that there's a good chance holds will be strong next weekend across the board, especially when theaters won't be losing a whole lot due to both openers being sub-2,000 theater complete nonevents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Drive My Car is at 524k. Pretty decent in this climate for a 3 hour foreign language film with only a wide release of 65 theaters. For comparison, Titane opened in 562 and finished with 1.4m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I really don't think Shrek 5 could pull off more than $500M DOM and that's assuming BO ever goes back to pre-pandemic days.

Brainbug Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Saw Scream and really, really liked it! Its on par with Scream 4 for me, tied for the 2nd best in the franchise. Funny, bloody and just extremely entertaining! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons the Disney remakes are so huge is seeing big name stars bringing iconic animated characters to life. Having seen the stage musical adaptation of Shrek, I think there's a lot of potential in doing a live action remake and oddly because it was already a CGI film, many of the characters would be able to retain most of their original look with a few tweaks. Shrek probably would be achieved best using prosthetics but I'd be fine with motion capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
