Thread 150454289

The latest installment in the Pooh-Verse of horror reimaginings of children’s stories.

>Following his parents’ deaths, James (Cameron Bell) is sent to live with his estranged grandfather Geppetto (Richard Brake), who introduces him to Pinocchio, a magical doll who becomes James’s best friend. However, unaware of Pinocchio's naive nature, James introduces him to the world and it results in Pinocchio going on a bloody crusade to eliminate all things "bad”, guided by the demonic Jiminy Cricket (voiced by Robert Englund).

And here's Jiminy Cricket.

isn't that just the plot of the reboot of Child's Play

>>150454289 (OP)
will the movie end with him getting hung

The effects look pretty neat at the very least.

>>150454401
The book has a lot of fucked up shit you could pull from for a more horror/creepy Pinocchio movie.

>>150454432
If your adaptation of Pinocchio doesn't have him casually killing at least one other child, can you really say you're basing it on the book?

>>150454401
Wasn't the whole Pinocchio ended up dying in the original series that way basically got redcon because of old time popular demand by the fans that they didn't want something upset in like that to be the ending?

>>150454289 (OP)
>another shitty public domain slasher flick

Anon this shit ain’t even a comic or a cartoon

>>150454525
Let's just get rid of the public domain entirely and hand all the characters over to Disney at this point

>>150454401
>hunging a magical wooden doll
>worst, a wooden puppet who moves through ropes
That should give him more powers no? I don't know I'm not a writer.

>Jiminy Cricket kind of looks like Freddy
It reminds me of The Phantom of the Opera (1989), where the Phantom (Robert Englund) ends up looking like Freddy.

i was about to post this, this movie has some delicious titties by the way

Not /co/
Fuck off

>>150454289 (OP)
I'm going to forever lament how halfassed all these movies have been. If Full Moon made these in the 90's they would have all kicked ass. Pooh and Friends would have been like the puppetmaster guys with some cues taken from Child's Play, Peter Pan would be the defacto Freddy/Pennywise type but he'd still look like a creepy kid instead of a gross old guy, Bambi would be the typical wild animal on the loose in the vein of Grizzly or Jaws, etc. Instead we get this halfassed Asylum dogshit.

O I'm cringin

tool music video

i wonder if this trend will last long enough to get to superman

>>150459839
They would just make Brightburn again? But now they could name him Superman.

>>150459906
i guess so, the boys is kind of horror-ish with its homelander scenes too. maybe they'll a betty boop movie next year where she's a succubus or something

>>150454315
Calling bullshit. Jiminy doesn’t become public domain until 2036.

all this public domain shit just made me think of something, aren't these movies protected by parody law anyways?

>>150454432
Joke: horror Pinocchio based on the book
Bespoke: comedy Pinocchio based on the book

>>150454483
Basically. Collodi got bored and decided to kill Pinocchio off, but reader outcry lit a fire under his ass and we got more lectures about the importance of staying in school and listening to your parents.

>>150460077
Yeah, but the people making these are hacks and cowards.

>>150454289 (OP)
Not comics or cartoons

>>150458365

Kill yourself aspie

>>150457979
>>150458299
This movie actually did the twist that the original Child's Play wanted to do

>>150460953
Explain.

>>150460967
Pinocchio isn't really alive, it was all in the kid's head and they were the killer the whole time

>>150460967
the original child's play was hinting at andy actually being the killer and not chucky

>>150454483
The sequel opened with "Pinnocchio remembered he doesn't breathe. And got off the gibbet."

>>150455026
Dumb ESL.

>>150460975
>>150460983
You're combining how the first movie was originally going to play coy for a while as to whether or not Andy was the possessed one and only reveal the doll really was possessed near the end with how the original idea for what became Child's Play was that Andy did a blood bond ritual with a doll and the spiritual link would cause the doll to go around murdering people Andy was secretly angry at.

You are the worst type of faggot, you don't even suck dick, you just squat in a bush with a finger in your asshole and whiny like a woman.

>>150454713
Yeah, I'm sure that's the exact mindset and endgame behind these flicks. Thank you for saying it out loud instead of playing coy like you're usually doing, Mr. shill.
>let's make this godawful slop until they beg for the rights to come back to us
These shitty movies are a giant corporate-backed falseflag campaign to infringe on public domain rights and everybody with IQ above 100 can clearly see it.

>>150454289 (OP)
>Gonna make a horror movie of this public domain character with supernatural elements
>He kills people with a knife and pushes them in front of speeding cars.

To substantiate my claim.
How many people know about Retardead?
How many people know about Amityville [insert random things] (there's dozens of these fucking movies and they're all awful)
How many people know about Osombie? (Osama Bin Laden horror movie)
That's just quick glance stuff. There's thousands upon thousands of shit horror movies.
Unless you're a filthy shit-eating racoon like I am digging through IMDB trash, you'd have no idea about any of these' existing. Even though they're just as retarded and bad. It's normal for horror amateur filmmakers, they know they're not making fucking The Thing any time soon so they make stupid bad movies to have some fun in the process.
And yet you hear about these constantly. The media constantly tells you about them, etc.
Why? Because somebody wants you to. To hear about them, to talk about them, to know how shit they are. They're not some wacky directors making stupid movies for fun, they have a clear agenda in mind. Welcome to cybergulag.

>>150459935
or they would make a movie where betty boop is a whore

>>150454315
Insects already look pretty unsettling. I don't know why they decided to make him a little demonic bug man. He doesn't even look like Disney's Jiminy.

>>150459839
Probably not, Winnie is nearly hitting the public domain in Europe

>>150461982
>How many people know about Retardead?
i do, it's on tubi

Vultures hang around public domain and as soon as a new IP is available they rush to make the dumbest, easiest slop with it: a horror movie.

>>150461855
Heh, I definitely touched a nerve. Insult all you want, it doesn't make you less of a dumb ESL.

with how much steamboat willie horror shit there is, i'm surprised no one took the easy route of making a faithful adaptation of suicide mouse since they're making low effort horror slop anyways

>>150459839
The problem is how can you do it without looking like you're just reiterating other people's deconstructions/horror-takes/etc of Superman in the past two to four decades

Like you got Homelander who himself is kind of a knock-off of Public Spirit from Marshal Law
You got Plutonian from Irredeemable
You got Brightburn
You got the villainous variations of Hyperion that Marvel has
You got DC's own Injustice Superman and the various Ultramen from various Crime Syndicates

>>150464984
It's probably because nobody knows if Suicide Mouse would be considered legally owned or public domain

If anyone's actually curious about this shit there's a great Planet Money series from 2001 about their adventures in purchasing Micro-Face

https://www.npr.org/superhero

>Tom Wood was a factory worker and a failed inventor. When his brother, Jim, was killed by Big Boston's gangsters, Tom promised to avenge Jim's death so invented a "Micro-Mask" - a full-face mask that contained a built-in microphone (which allowed hm to amplify and throw his voice), a hearing amplifier, and "photoelectric lenses" that gave him x-ray vision. He could also attach telephone wires to his mask to make phone calls. Tom offered the invention to the U.S. government, only to be turned down.
>Regardless, he used it to become "Micro-Face!"

>>150460058
There was a cricket in the original story. But he wasn't named Jiminy. I don't know if that movie is calling him that or OP assumed he was called Jiminy

>>150459935
2035 is gonna get so many fucking shitty movies.

>>150465204
Batman V Bugs Bunny

>>150461316
such a good delivery, i still quote it to this day

>>150459839
Evil Superman is so overdone. When he goes public domain, people should get wild and original and make stories of him being a nice hero.

>>150465015
Do you think these slopmongers give a fuck if it's hackneyed?

>>150459935
I am not looking forward to Joker going public domain

>>150454289 (OP)
been done before and Disney has never owned Pinocchio

>>150466409
The effectiveness of these horror films is getting people to go OMG LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MICKEY or something

What good is doing #1045 of evil Superman when even DC went into that well

>>150466488
But this time they'll be doing it with straight up Superman, not a stand-in or an alternate version.

>>150466512
Anon. DC did it with "Straight Up Superman."

>>150454289 (OP)
>Pinocchio going on a bloody crusade to eliminate all things "bad”
Certainly one of the more interesting ideas for one of these types of movies.
But the execution is important.

>>150465087
I wonder how this character could be redone in the modern era when everyone has an amazing phone.

>>150466488
So, the public domain slop makers are gonna be keeping their powder dry for Batman?

>>150454289 (OP)
This isn't /co/
It's not even based on the Disney film
Fuck off

>>150466835
See >>150461982. It might be related to Disney in a roundabout way.

>>150466723
I could believe that. That said there was a rumor that DC is allowing creators to go wild on alternate takes on Superman and Batman because they know they'll fall into the public domain in the 2030s. It may mean they may greenlight more Evil Batman/Horror Batman before Batman goes public domain

Absolute Batman is already kind of horror Batman
Batman Who Laughs is Batman as Joker as horror monster
The Bat-Man: First Knight is about a Batman in the 1930s and 40s

Great, more wood

>>150468393
Where's KC Green's Pinocchio, and is the bottom middle exactly what I'm afraid it is?

>>150464652
I think it is the only thing that can be done, since Mickey and Pooh are still under copyright in several big markets.

Sherlock Holmes escaped from the low budget horror crazy because he hit "live + 70" territories early.

>>150464930
>Insult all you want
Kek, what's the point when you have nothing to say?

>>150468393
99% of this shit is either garbage or nightmare fuel, except for that last 1% that is twink porn, but that is a Pinocchio in name only. I don't get it, who's watching this shit? Who said "yeah I'm always been a fan of that piece of shit wooden doll". It's supposed to teach kids a lesson? The Boy Who Cried Wolf teaches you a lesson, Pinocchio makes you wonder if your teacher is high.
