>After Legendary Entertainment acquired the rights to make films based on the popular Pokemon series in 2016, it announced Detective Pikachu as its first project. Now, according to Omega Underground, production on the live-action Detective Pikachu film will begin January 15, 2018 in London.
>Detective Pikachu does not currently have a release date, and its currently unknown who will star in the film. Rob Letterman (Goosebumps) is set to direct the film based on a screenplay by Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) and Nicole Perlman (Captain Marvel). Universal Pictures will oversee distribution of Detective Pikachu outside Japan, while Toho will handle the release within the country.

Reminder that if they just went with Ash/Misty/Brock and put just a little bit of effort into bringing Kanto to life, this movie could have BTFO IT.

I can recognize kino potential when I see one
Jace Wright
Someone's career will live in purgatory forever as a result of this movie.
Colton Wood
>animated movies Exactly. This is going to be live action like that shitty Garfield movie with Bill Murray
Alexander Wright
Seriously. Ash and Pikachu alone would do well. Misty and Brock would bait all the nostalgia manchildren. Easy money.
Julian Martin
This. I'm assuming it has something to do with always sunny which I don't watch.

Don't be stupid, the whole point is that Nintendo doesnt want to be dragged by fuck ups like with the mario movie, this is just the tip of the dick, if this movie makes them happy (not even about money). The fight for the rights of this movie was the biggest fight between studios since HARRY POTTER, pretty much if nintendo is happy they will greenlight all the 150 million Zelda, metroid and pokemon movies. This is a smart move, a 40 something million movie, a safe bet instead of risking a huge fuck up that would kill any other movies
Aiden Richardson
Fuck off faggot, it's a youtube meme that started with the trailer of the game
It's based on a game, and it's just testing the water. The japs want to see what the jews can do and the jews know that with nintendo you only get one chance so they dont want to risk the potential for multiple IP's on a huge movie. It's a smart move.
David Sanchez
>based on a game never released outside of Japan Of all games to base it on, they choose one that literally no one has ever played besides the weebs on Sup Forums?

>200 million minimum just for the cast never ever user
Andrew Flores
They need to make a pikachu movie to shift merchandise of him. There hasn't been a legitimate Mickey Mouse film in years. Why? Because Mickey Mouse doesn't need a movie to sell t-shirts and novelty phones.
