My reaction (since you asked): Natalie Portman: perfect. It buzzed very seriously for about eleven minutes. It went like this: Tobey Maguire as Sam Clay. Casting speculation started in earnest to quote Michael Chabon on his Website: “It was a casting-buzz. Shortly thereafter, Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry (#4) made clear his intention to helm a film version. In 2002 an Entertainment Weekly article noted that Rudin and director Sydney Pollack (#2) were talking to Jude Law (#3) about a starring role. You have Hollywood superpower Scott Rudin (#1), the first producer to win the EGOT, who bought the screen rights to the book even before it was published. Let’s take a look at a (partial) list of the people connected at one point or another to a film adaptation: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon Though Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Kavalier & Clay (which isn’t sci-fi or fantasy, but it’s about the comic book industry, so let it slide) hasn’t made it to the big screen yet, it’s not for lack of trying. To that end, here are five sci-fi/fantasy books (plus one comic) that somehow, against all odds, haven’t made it to our collective eyeballs yet, whether because of a stint in development hell or because some studio bigwig decided to go for G.I. Hollywood, I implore you: If you’re going to adapt something, can’t it be something good?
#MEANING OF A DREAM OF IM LIVING IN THE CANDY LAND BOARD GAME MOVIE#
Movie versions of Candy Land (and Adam Sandler is attached, oh goodie!), Stretch Armstrong, and the Ouija board are in the works. If people pay to see Madagascar 3, they’re going to make Madagascar 4.
I’m not asking that Hollywood start coming out with original content or anything, because A) that’s what indie movies are for, and B) it would be unrealistic. Look, I’m not here to pooh-pooh the idea of sequels, prequels, reboots, remakes-there are some ridiculously unnecessary ones, sure, but if I told you my level of anticipation for The Dark Knight Rises is not positively stratospheric I’d be lying. What do you see? A lot of entries into pre-existing franchises ( The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, Prometheus), a sequel or twelve ( Men in Black III, Madagascar 3), some additions to the “edgy kid’s story” genre that’s refused to die since Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland made bank, two movies based on self-help books ( Think Like a Man, What to Expect When You’re Expecting), and one that draws its inspiration from a board game ( Battleship). If that's your thing.Īllow Us to Explain Anyone else get the feeling that Hollywood is out of ideas? Take a look at this summer’s studio releases. In the meantime, enjoy the html version below.
