Pez: The Movie
 
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:

Quote:

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!

Spoiler:

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?

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.

It'll be a war between the kingdoms of Advil, Tylenol, and Beyer. :-P

Trix Are For Kids - A Troubled Rabbit's Tale


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.

MsMarvelDuckie 08-04-2015 03:19 AM

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

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

DarkFell 08-04-2015 03:27 AM

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.)


ObiWanFan4life 08-04-2015 06:23 AM

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

BubblyShell22 08-04-2015 08:33 AM

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.

Hm, I don't know why "all-girl music group" story popped into mind. Maybe they'll go up against the Pixie Sticks. :-P

The Lego Movie was the exception, not the norm.

At least Adam Sandler's not involved.
