Shocking.

Shocking.

After hearing Tetris is getting a trilogy? Nothing is shocking.

[Zealot]

Three films for Tetris actually had me disappointed. I don't know how they can make Tetris with fewer than four.

Shocking.

Glad to hear the rumored Pokemon Live Action that Pokemon Go inspired is this and not a generic Live Action pokemon movie.

Also obligatory:

[Hirronimus]

Holy shit. I actually felt bad for the horribly animated Pokemon.

[Krandor]

Will Pikachu be voiced by Danny Devito?

He damn well better be, or the pitchforks will flow.

[Malithar]

Holy shit. I actually felt bad for the horribly animated Pokemon.

That beaten Pikachu is a thing of nightmares.

If Pikachu has that bizarre, super deep voice and the theme song and movie are strongly taking "bits of inspiration" from BBC's Sherlock, than I'm all for it lol

The producers of an upcoming live-action Pokémon movie have just caught themselves two writers with lots of experience points. They’re Nicole Perlman, co-writer of Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming Captain Marvel, along with Alex Hirsch, the creator of Disney’s hit show Gravity Falls.

Oh my fucking god.

This movie is going to destroy all the box office records.

This movie is going to destroy all the box office records.

It'll be the type of movie that Shrek was, but with the audience of Pokemon fans both old and new. The hype will be impossible to imagine...

[Fhloston]

Oh, shit. This is going to be fucking gold!
