idk whats more ridiculous the fact that they're trying to do a live action pokemon movie or the idea that they think this'll go over well

Only joke is that the actors who are taking the roles in this movie think it will help their career and not destroy it. |

I don't know why they'd start developing a detective Pikachu movie before releasing the damn game state side.

I have found it odd that they haven't released Detective Pikachu in the West. Is there anything in the game that would make Nintendo warry of releasing it outside of Japan?

Let's see how long it takes before the director writes an apologize message to the world.
Becuz of this bullsh*t movie. |

Honestly, even though I haven't really been a big fan of Pokemon for well over a decade, when skimming the article the production staff actually had me interested. I loved Gravity Falls and Guardians of the Galaxy, and although I wasn't crazy about the movie, Goosebumps did seem generally well directed when I was half-watching it.
Then I looked back up at the top of the article and realized that I missed the part about the movie being based around "Detective Pikachu".... Moderate interest effectively killed. I might still check it out eventually (if it doesn't get Dragonball Evolution levels of bad reviews), but I won't be going to a theater showing unless it gets a miraculously good reception. |

Base the movie on material which is little known to the majority of the target audience,instead of going with characters fans have known for a generation or so...
Sounds like the typical in-name only cash-grab type of adaption-It'll more than likely break box office records or at least sell more Pikachu plushies. |

As I keep saying I'm torn about this movie... like pluvia33 said I love Gravity Falls and Guardians of the Galaxy... you have two great writers for this movie, if they work well with the Director we might have another Lego Movie on our hands... A movie that was initially a shameless cash grab but then was so good that people were REALLY angry it didn't get an Oscar nom.
But it's really the Director and also the Studio we have to worry about... either way I'm going to wait and see the reviews before I make my call... After all there's a good chance this movie won't suck. |

I'm still really iffy about this. Live-action Pokemon seems like a really weird choice to me.
Andy Serkis as Pikachu. Either that, or Andy Serkis as Caesar in a Detective Pikachu outfit. Those are the only choices I will accept.

Given the movie is an adaptation of the game and playing the latter not bring necessary to potentially enjoy the former.
I don't know of anyone involved in the process of making a movie that isn't skeptical about a movie's chances of success or failure however simply believing an idea to be bad isn't a good mindset to have either as you've had many people walk away from films because of some specific reasoning which gets funny when said movie becomes a hit. |
