>no elves

hahahaha

wasnt malcovich in it too?
what a shit movie

It was dead the moment they decided to make e movie. The book was monumentally shitty to start with

...

Many shit books have been made into successful films.

The Golden Compass
YEA, this is probably going to devolve the entire thread into a circle jerk about Dakota Blue Richards tits. What are you gonna d about it?

>40mil budget
>$915,000 box office
HOW
DO
YOU
FUCK
THAT
UP

I actually liked this movie, shame it never really clicked for the masses...would have liked to have seen the rest of it

Books > 300 pages don't translate well into 110 minute movies. Same thing happened with Eragon.

...

Master and Commander, most audiences didn't get it

This
That book was a write by numbers shitfest. One of the worst books I ever have read.
I really liked caprica. Still have no idea why they stopped that series.

IT is a 1k page book and it did well

>That book was a write by numbers shitfest. One of the worst books I ever have read.
Doesn't mean it can't make money at the box office. They've made blockbusters out of awful books often.

The movie is only half the book, though.

Ok then 500 pages then

Thats still over 200 pages over your limit

They look so ugly and unappealing

>They've made blockbusters out of awful books often.
Well it is easy to buy the rights of shitty books.
Probably why we will never see a Brent weeks book made into a movie.

>fighting around the world
what's not to get about it?

Book 2 and 3 would have made Hollywood
very uncomfortable anyway.

Are you implying IT was good?

>reptilian overlords
>has mammalian tits

looks like the cover of a early 90s click and point game on DOS

how so? didn't read or watch any of it.

concept sounded cool though and polar bear goes without saying

this.

worst movie ive ever seen btw.

its about sexual liberty and battling God for the freedom of individual choice iirc

the polar bears were a tiny part of the first book, nothing to do with the rest

Money laundering probbaly

They're redeveloping it as a series. Unfortunately by the BBC.

kek, thought the same thing
