...and this is not a hoax.
There is actually, in fact, a movie being made, based on this game:
And it is, in fact, being advertising as based on a game made by the same toy company that made Transformers.
No joke.
And Liam Neeson was somehow press-ganged into being in it.
And someone, somewhere, decided to invest millions of dollars in this movie.
The official site is here, if you don't believe me.
I wonder how anyone was able to keep a straight face at any point during the entire pitching, writing, and filming process.
And if no one at any point utters the line "you sank my battleship," I will be sorely disappointed.
Pfft! That's almost as dumb as making a movie based on an amusement park ride! There's no way it'll be successful and spawn a billion-dollar franchise! Next thing you know, they'll be making movies from arcade games with no plot, just two characters on the screen fighting each other!
ReplyDeleteI don't know. It looked pretty cool. I mean, giant rotating flying flaming spiky things. What's not to like?
ReplyDeleteI think Hollywood is taking sarcasm to a ridiculously awesome level now between Iron Sky and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I never would have guessed that anyone would sink hundreds of millions of dollars into what is essentially a sarcastic joke. I guess Cowboys and Aliens started this pattern?
