I must be totally out of it. Never even knew this movie was a thought, much less in production.

From what I see here, this movie is going to be garbage.

the only real thing that could redeem this movie if they use snarky Ryan Reynolds rather than serious actor Ryan Reynolds or they get Danny Devito in there somehow. otherwise this will be a trainwreck that i will stay away from.

The headline+thumbnail Very Happy. I’d expected them to use CG for the pokémon, but this is an interesting creative choice.

Ryan Reynolds is the perfect fit for this movie. I see a lot of potential for him to work his Deadpool sense of humor into the film. “Ever see The Great Mouse Detective? Spoiler alert...”

Those people in Pokemon costumes are probably just stand-ins, atleast I hope.
The giant plain-looking balloons may also be stand-in props for CGI. Who knows what the final product is going to look like.

Watanabe's expression in the picture says it all.

Yup, I think most if not all of us are only joking about the guys in Pokémon costumes, but the headline and thumbnail certainly provided an interesting impression Smile.

It is nothing if not impressive that these scenes were shot around Leadenhall Street. They must have waited a fair while to allow the matutinal banker crowds to wane.

I was looking forward to this movie, but I just found out that Alex Hirsch is no longer one of the writers for the movie. I still might see it, but I don't know anymore...

Granted he's probably busy with other things (Namely the Gravity Falls graphic novel), but still...
