« Last post by NothingFromSomething on March 25, 2021, 10:19:49 PM »Yeahhhh. My prior cynicism pretty much panned out, huh?
A shame he seems so bitter about it though (not that it's not totally justified, of course it is, just...would be nicer for them if they were a little more ambivalent with the time passed and all).
The *real* sh*tty thing is, I'm still gonna watch it.
Not in theaters or whatever, but due it it being f*cking Animorphs I'm still checking it out sometime while bored on Netflix or whatever, down the line. The people making these crappy decisions pretty much get rewarded for it, anyone who was going to see an Animorphs movie is still going to end up seeing it.
100% convinced by now it's going to...well, not even necessarily *suck* (Michael said he does like some of the writer's work), but it's sure as hell not going to be faithful. Just feel bad for Katherine & Michael, basically, at this point beyond curiosity I don't much care how the flick actually turns out. Expected nothing, so when you get nothing it's not some punch to the gut.

Did not do it any justice ... but it's typical of the Hollywood of things.

Oh, who am I kidding. It won't be.
... but if it gets out of development hell, will I see it on opening night? You betcha.

Seems the project's like 99% a go at this point, as good as greenlit, so I guess chances are 6 months from now we could be getting cast & crew announcements public.
But after Michael's social posts, yeah...
Not. Expecting. Much. Whatever "wait and see" attitude's kinda evaporated, if Michael had felt the need to allude to the Percy Jackson author dude's take on his experience with those movies. Situation seems grim.
Sucks, too, 'cause in a perfect world with them approaching this with some grit & grime and 90s-feel (movie style as well as period setting) along with commitment to sticking true to Katherine/Michael's writing, an Animorphs flick I feel could really be something special. Like even in an objective sense outside of being a fan, just seems like this world done right could really hit home with the public & critics alike. But yeah, kinda just overall surprised how little I seem interested in this beyond some curiosity, like I owe it to the books and childhood memories to check it out, but not much more.

We'll see how this site grows after or if the movie happens.
