The people vs Gorilla Grodd hbo max

Quote:

HBO Max has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to a new half-hour comedy, The People v. Gorilla Grodd (f.k.a. DC Crime), from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television.

The Max Original comedy stars Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd, and Superman actors Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White.

The series also stars Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz. Their respective roles have not been revealed. Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, with Yacenda set to direct all episodes. James Gunn and Peter Safran also serve as executive producers.

According to the first officially released plot details for The People v. Gorilla Grodd, the series follows a superintelligent ape who is convicted of murdering his father, the King of Gorilla City. In an eight-part "true" crime docuseries, the Daily Planet's Jimmy Olsen reopens the case, investigating whether Gorilla Grodd was wrongly convicted in one of Metropolis' most famous murder trials.

Grodd spotted on set. He's going to look cheap.

Man, I thought that the gorilla costumes in the movie Congo from the NINETIES looked bad.

Only James Gunn going full "James Gunn" would think that any of this was a good idea.

It's like watching a Nick Cage movie hoping that it's one of those where he goes "full Nick Cage" in terms of lunacy.

Except that the Nick Cage movies can be entertaining and don't damn an entire Universe.

I thought they could at least make him look as good as the modern Planet of the Apes movies...

Like can't they just copy the make-up/costumes from Planet of the Apes? There's only so many ways to do a live-action talking gorilla.

Add this to the list of 'literally nobody asked for this'.

This is one thing I hate from both Marvel and DC. Stop with the ****ing TV shows or make them their own seperate continuity that are not part of the movie lore.

Why not just use cgi for Grodd like the flash tv show did

There's leaked footage from the set, too. Apparently Grodd leads a bunch of underlings in a big singing and dancing number.

Yeesh!

Presumably the live action suit will just be a placeholder before CGI.

The ****in' hell? Even Grodd in Super Friends was taken more seriously than that.

It’s funny reading the DC TV Sub at Reddit where mostly everyone is going bananas for this Grodd while saying it’s way better than the CGI Grodd. They must be paid James Gunn plants or something because yes you can say a lot of negatives about the CW DC Arrowverse Shows but the CGI Grodd was one of best things they ever did.
