@BroBot9000 I despise this kind of filmmaking. Flat out a shot for shot do-over with minimal new creative input. What a waste of everyone’s time and talent.

Live action? I really liked the animated movies and how the characters actually aged. The main character started as a kid and by the end he was a bearded dad

I know but artistically, it looks like your doing a search and replace for CG characters and dropping in real live people.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but if they made it completely different, then people would complain about that.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

I hope not.

As opposed to every other movie that is released to make... Money

Why are they just remaking a movie that already exists instead of trying something else? Idk, I've always just wanted a faithful adaptation of the books.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 month ago

Yah, could've a side story in the same universe. The original age well, not sure why it need a "refresh".

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh.... Oh no....

The lighting looks fake, the acting is bland...

Man they had to ruin HTTYD too, huh...

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd argue they already did that with 3.

Valve never makes 3 and DreamWorks always fuck it up.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 month ago

Tbf Witcher 3 and Toy Story 3 is good.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

Well, firstly money. Secondly the franchise is just laying around.

[–] eddanja@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I will happily watch this.
