Ayliffe Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So yeah, apparently DC Thomson and Elstree Studios are making a Bananaman movie. Its due out in 2015, but a teaser poster was released recently: There's also a small teaser site, but there's nothing really on there except for the hashtag #PeelThePower. If you've never heard of it before, the intro from the 80's TV show should get you up to speed on him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq2KXudEjkI aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaborgium Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 This is a joke, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quisoves Potoo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 On one hand, a live-action film based on an obscure and absurd 1980's cartoon could be quite amusing, given a healthy dose of under-graduate humor. On the other hand, given that this is a feature film, I suspect, alas, that the humor will be of a broader and a blunter sort. aidenpons, Seaborgium and Ayliffe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaborgium Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Could be worse, I suppose. True, it could be this. Maybe, but it looks like Frankenfish is a modern day B-Movie. Stupid, but at least some one was entertained, if nothing else by the stupidity. Apparently it 3 million to make. Failed box office adaptions of cartoons such as Underdog and Rocky and Bullwinkle have cost 60-76 million. Remember that really good and successful adaption of a cartoon a while back? Nope, me neither. With cartoon adaptions, producers aren't just make stupid films, they're throwing money down the toilet. aidenpons and Quisoves Potoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorBrickkeeper Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So, better or worse than that Ninjago movie coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaborgium Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So, better or worse than that Ninjago movie coming out? Worse. Ninjago steals every idea and puts it in a blender, creating a rather indigestible, inconstant mix. Banaman is when they run out of ideas to steal and are to scared to be bold.

lol username Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ninjago steals every idea and puts it in a blender, creating a rather indigestible, inconstant mix. Which the movie guys are apparently completely aware of, as they tore Ninjago to pieces in one of The LEGO Movie's bonus features/teasers.

Though I still wonder how they'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi299 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The fact that I don't feel like "Bananaman" even belongs in a kids show from the eighties makes me wonder how it'll belong in a feature film in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
