Pez: The Movie

[Raph's Girl]

They're making a movie out of the Pez Despensers... how the heck is that even gonna work? Will there be a candy war or something? At least it's animated.... :teek:

Envision Media Arts is developing an animated film based on the 88-year-old pressed, chalky, tablet-shaped candy and dispensers, which often feature iconic pop culture characters.

Cameron Fay (“Brother in Laws”) will write the screenplay, while Lee Nelson and David Buelow will produce for EMA. Gregg Rossen, Brian Sawyer and Jonathan Hung brought the project to EMA and will executive produce alongside EMA’s David Tish.

“Pez candy is beloved by children and adults alike. With Cameron Fay we’ve created a world unique to Pez and a story that will touch the hearts of many,” EMA CEO and founder Nelson said.

And I thought an animated movie about emojis was a paper thin concept.

I keep telling myself "They'll never be able to surprise me again."

And then I step in an all-new pile of thoughtless uninspired Hollywood excrement.

Unbelievable.

You can pretty much blame the Lego movie for all of this.

That Amazon seller must have been telling the truth! (http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-10-most-absurdly-expensive-products-amazon.com_p2)


For a quarter of a million dollars, you can have the book rights and the movie rights for Pez Outlaw Diary, a novel(?) about the intrigue surrounding Pez dispenser dealing. The author, Pez Outlaw, has written what he says is "the most unique book ever written about Pez." That sounds impossible, but judging by the manic sentence fragments he used to describe the book, I believe him. Take a look:

"Pez Outlaw Diary - PEZ bio of 11 year quest for success. International travel. Money and deception. Now a fight for restitution Buying this listing gets you both the book + movie rights of this story. The True Story of Pez.. The 1/2 Million Dollar Fraud, PEZ Pez. A Story of Fraud, Dishonesty, Betrayal, Envy and Greed. Welcome to the Pez Outlaw world. I accept all facebook friend requests."

"The 1/2 Million Dollar Fraud, PEZ Pez"!? Like Aliens vs. Predator, that walks the line between a great elevator pitch and the ramblings of a madman. Who would have thought that decades of eating sweetened chalk out of the neck of Batman could make a person crazy?

What's next, the Aspirin movie?

I can't wait for the Homies movie.

Exactly my thought; they want in on what the Lego Movie had.


But at least Lego had already stepped into games, animation, etc. Pez... I like Pez, but this is odd.

However, It would appear that the Good Captain could care less should a movie be made about him - he's distracted at the current moment.

Also in theaters this Halloween- Leprechaun 13- Lucky's Revenge.... JK.

Or, maybe- Charlie- A Tuna Tail....

[DarkFell]

What I wanna see is a special that goes into what FrankenBerry, Count Chocula, and BooBerry do on the remaining eleven months after Halloween.
Because that's important. (Okay, not really.)

Screw it, let's just announce a live action remake of Foodfight while we're at it?

[BubblyShell22]

This is f*cked up beyond words. Yeah, they did this with The Lego Movie, but at least that had a plot and something they could work with. But this movie doesn't look good.

Coming soon: SweeTarts: The Movie.

The Lego Movie was the exception, not the norm.

At least Adam Sandler's not involved.

Coming summer 2016: The Firestone Tires Movie!

The Firestone Tire Factory is a happy rubberized wonderland populated by a wacky gang of loveable tires and their friends, the friendly manufacturing robots that help them on their way. For decades, they've worked together to train generations of tires to win the Quality Control Games! Only the best can win the games and leave the factory to bring happiness to the outside world. Tready the Tire has never been able to handle the pressure, but with the help of his friends, he's determined to win the Games... but only if they can get past the meddling Government Safety Officer, who's dead set on shutting the factory down! Explosive fun!

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Even the Lego Movie was a one-time hit. There are like 5 sequels planned and none of them seem incredibly appealing.

I can't believe I wrote all that crap without instantly becoming a millionaire Hollywood producer. :(

LOL, now I want to see Nerds: The Movie!! At least it could be fun!

At least it could be fun!How about a remake of Attack of the Nerds with Nerds? lol. The Blowpops could be the bullies.OMG, ROFL!! We should come up with a screenplay for the next animated blockbuster movie! It'll be about the secret life of food inside a refrigerator.....Seriously! :lol:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Actually, that was REVENGE of the Nerds. But good call. However, instead of Blowpops, it should probably be M&Ms.

Sour Patch Kids: The Movie

Come on, this is going to happen. Hollywood is out of original ideas and Sour Patch Kids already stepped into animation with their commercials! It will be all about the chaos the little bastards create and almost cause the near destruction of the world - then later humanity all dies because they forgive the 'Kids' too easily simply because they suddenly pulled the "sweet" thing on the foolish humans. Moral of the story will be that humans never learn.

[ssjup81]

Hm, how about Animal House with animal crackers? lol

[Eurydemus]

I bet the brainstorming session behind the Pez film was a lot like a Family Guy cut-away gag.

[Papenbrook]

There is already going to be a movie about Peeps*, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

What's next? Smints?

If it worked for The Lego Movie though, this could turn out okay. Imagine the characters they could use. (http://www.weirdca.com/gallery/var/albums/Weird/California/Bay-Area/Museum-of-Pez/P1010158.JPG)
