This will be excellent. Disney is gonna promote the hell out of it too.

You're reading too much into it, I think.

I'm hoping this movie is like Roger Rabbit, but with videogame characters.

I think i might like the movie, its got good voice actors, i kinda trust the director lookin at his history, my biggest concern is how the real game villains are going to be, portrayed.

I've been informed that this movie is awesome by people working on it. so know, you're not reading into it too much.

said people are also gamers.

I'm down to go down

Looks like the Heat Miser to me!

I don't see how this matters at all.

@ ScrappyDoo- I don't see how it matters that you don't see how it matters. And I bet you don't see how it matters that I don't see how it matters that you don't see how it matters.

At all.

In reality, nothing really matters. We're all just twiddling our thumbs as we barrel down this one way street towards ultimate oblivion. In the meantime, we might as well talk about Wreck-It Ralph.

Speaking of which.

@ Tony- To me, this is like the moment that Oprah first said "Bling Bling" about ten years ago. The moment those words exited her lips, the term "Bling Bling" lost all potential for "street cred".

Similarly, anyone who tries to sell their pixelated game based on the "gamer cred" that comes with having "retro graphics" are going to be in for a shock. Low-res pixels aren't "retro" anymore. They are just another tool in the toolbox.

Personally, I couldn't be happier about that.

I hope it's a good film.

I'd love it if this was good.

@Holmes

I think you're absolutely right. We're at the point where at face value, this is the same kind of pandering that Hot Topic gets up to with its products. Of course, I don't think that holds up when you take into account the people actually involved in the project, to whom this movie is a big deal. Using sprite art just doesn't automatically qualify you for "Nostalgia wizard extraordinaire" any more.

@Jonathan

Please help me clean up the pieces of my head off my monitor, my head just exploded.

Your reading a little too much into it in that respects Tony, but I'd rather shift attention to the fact that Disney needs a new marketing team, cause this is just as terrible as the John Carter campaign.

I seem to think that their marketing team thinks we're all going to run to the internet and look up every little bit of every movie they release, so they don't have to tell us a damn thing about said movies in any of their marketing before they open --only to forget that anything any one finds in a search is a bunch of this same shit that says nothing about their movie.

If this movie fails, it'll be because Disney dropped the ball again on their promotional ability, which is sad-fucking-panda. I know for a fact that teams already been warned, so I'm more interested on how it'll play out if this movie flops (not that I want it too, cause I like the idea of it) then the actual movie : /

@GreenFire123

Sorta, but without actual humans --which I want to say is part of what made Roger Rabbit so good. Seeing the humans with the cartoons, and their reactions (specially Valiant's) was about half of that movie. Seeing game characters simply playing against a fake game character isn't going to be the same even if the concept itself is pretty awesome.

Too much reading.

I think you're reading into this too much, videogames have been in the mainstream since they started. Mario is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. Retro gaming has been more poular with the than modern gaming. Hence why NSMBWii sold ridiculously high numbers, and why you'll see a bunch of 8-it inspired shirts and clothing accessories at hottopic stores and such.

I think this is just a teaser poster -- plenty of movies have posters with basically nothing on it (sometimes like, a sunrise), and a date. Honestly, this is better than a ton of other teaser posters I've seen, because at least it has a character on it.

My guess is the "full" tantalizing poster will come out sometime in the near future, with cast member names and all that.

I’m wary of the movie, I’m afraid it’ll be nothing but “Ha ha, this is like what’s in the Marios! Oh look, Pac-man reference! Ha, I thought he was dead but he had an extra life!” and so on.

Hope I’m wrong though.

First that French Election 8-bit compaign, and now this. We did it guys. Video games are now culture.
