Detective Pikachu

For everybody reading this, watch the Gravity Falls show. I know it's on Disney Channel, but it's not very kid-centric. It's one of the best animated shows of recent memory - up there with Bojack Horseman and Rick + Morty. This movie just became one of my most anticipated entirely due to Alex Hirsch's involvement.

Once I saw Alex Hirsch I flipped out. That man is a genius

I firmly agree with this. Just like BoJack it takes a few episodes to warm up but man it's good. Cannot recommend that show more.

I find it crazy that so many people have seen Gravity Falls. I assumed I was one of like 20 adults that have seen it...

 

[Frogki]

Yes! This is going to be so awesome, Gravity Falls was an amazing series!

I enjoyed Monsters V. Aliens and from what I heard; Goosebumps was actually rather enjoyable. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but that may change after seeing Goosebumps.

Goosebumps was great besides the male lead who was the worst and horribly written and irked me immensely. But I hated Shark Tale. So i'm iffy if this will be good.

 

[captainmoch]

Goosebumps was a fine movie. Not great, but not terrible either. Definitely not my first choice for a director for this movie, but the writers are so great that I think the movie will be good nonetheless. (Shark Tale is horrible, but I'll give the director the benefit of the doubt since that came out over ten years ago and his subsequent movies have been much better.)

Detective Pikachu Starts Filming Next Year | Screen Rant

egendary Pictures’ Detective Pikachu, a live-action film based on the wildly popular Pokemon video game series, is set to go before cameras in London starting in January 2018. Goosebumps director Rob Letterman has been tabbed to head up the project, working from a script by Nicole Perlman (Captain Marvel) and Alex Hirsch (Galaxy Falls).

Detective Pikachu is based on a Japanese point-and-click game called Great Detective Pikachu in which a high-functioning Pikachu and his friend, a human boy named Tim Goodman, become a very unlikely mystery-solving team. Described as “bossy, talkative and lovable,” Detective Pikachu goes around in a Sherlock Holmes hat and, unlike your average Pikachu, is capable of a high level of verbal communication. Legendary Pictures snapped up the rights to make a film based on the Pokemon universe back in July of 2016, and some were surprised when they announced Detective Pikachu as their first live-action project under that deal.

Omega Underground reports that Detective Pikachu is now set to go before cameras starting in London in January 2018. No casting announcements have yet been made but with shooting set to crank up, those should be coming along shortly.

If anything, the fact they seem to be happy with his performance in Fallen Kingdom may lead to some genuine hope for this film on the acting side.

 

[Legacy]

Well, crap. With him in the lead I’ll actually try to watch this.

I loved The Get Down, and he was fantastic in it.

So... yeah. This movie has me sold now.

Ryan Reynolds’ film “The Voices” has him doing voices for a cat and a dog that’s immensely enjoyable.

Detective Pikachu Will Hit Theaters in May 2019 | Legendary

It's official, Detective Pikachu will release on May 10th, 2019.

A week after Infinity War Part 2? That’s pretty gutsy.

A week after Inifnity War Part 2? That’s pretty gutsy.

And it's not like the audiences are too different. Sure it's a cute Pikachu movie that kids will like, but their bread and butter is in the nostalgia zone, which is a lot of the comic book folk. I have a feeling the date gets moved.
