How the HELL was this supposed to be the next big thing exactly?

Do any of you like the old BFG film?
I didn't even like the book
Steven Spielberg's name was attached as co-producer and he's basically Hollywood royalty with a massive number of success to his name. There's a reason stuff like Tiny Toons often has his name above it.
Its literally a movie about a big thing
one of my favourite films as a kid
how are his glasses not fogging up? 0/10
thats a girl
oh fug, an english rose, i see
Oh.
The Big FUCKING Giant
The Big Faggot Giant
you now remember all the fart scenes this movie had
The BFG is a popular book in the UK, but I didn't know this movie was supposed to be huge or anything.
be a race of giants
job to the British
all i remember the fart scene making my mom laugh
It made the audience laugh in my screening
Yea. It was good.
I can only imagine the reaction in a UK theatre
*BRAAP* HOIAHOIAHOIA OI MUM 'E'S PASSIN' A STINK'R! *PFRRRT* HOIAHOIAHOIA *BLRRRT*
I remember liking the books. I don't recall ever watching the movie. Given the humor of the books, I don't think I'd bother with watching a BFG movie now.
Strange, I thought it was pickle juice for some reason.
I keep thi king Zemekis did BFG
Roald Dahl + Spielberg = instant success
At least it would have been circa 1985 and not 2015 or whenever it came out
BIG FUCKING GIANT
In the fields, green with new growth, there were two youngsters gathering lovely dandelion and horsetail shoots. They wore sedge hats that hid their faces and long-sleeved robes with sashes tied in the back. They looked for all the world like boys deserving of male lovers.
A man stopped to admire them. Just then, an old woman stepped from inside a picnic tent and called, “Here, little Fuji, little Yoshi.”
“Why, they are someone’s little girls!” he realized with disgust. He spat on the ground and went on his way.
She blossomed quite well.
Mr. Willy Wonka and Mr. Charlie Bucket have decided to grow their factory workforce by 500% by hiring the entire population of Giants and allowing them to live in his factory alongside his pre-existing Oompa Loompa population.
"This isn't the only time I've had giants before, " Mr. Wonka explains calmly in an interview with Fox and Friends, "But, they were giant blueberries, and those tended to explode immediately after becoming giant blueberries!"
An image of Violet Beauregarde, transformed into a bloated blueberry-human monstrosity, taken by Mike Teavee on his phone and leaked to the press is shown to millions on live TV as Wonka further explains his aquisition of the giants.
"Now, my factory is big! It's huge!", Wonka exclaimed with a childlike fervor, "I thought to myself and asked Charlie, 'Wouldn't it be great if we had giant workers? He stopped to talking to me after that...b-b-but he eventually came around! Took him a few months, though..."
Wonka's employment of the giants was soon met by a population-wide protest of the Oompa Loompas.
This was deemed racist by many pro-Giants agencies across the globe, as the Oompa Loompas were midgets discriminating against men and women as tall as sizescrapers.
"No Cocoa Bean is going to fix this", an Oompa Loompa firmly stated while his old-Wonka sign to the air in front of a local candy store.
"I 'ate giants", an Oompa Loompa dressed as a cowboy mumbled while smoking a cigar and flipping his candy revolvers, "I 'ate giants, ma'am. I 'ate em all."
Will Wonka get the Giants and the Oompa Loompas to get along? Will his and Charlie's business ultimately suffer? Why did Violet get turned into a giant blueberry and do giant blueberries actually EXPLODE?
More news at 11, this is Griddle Flaps with BBC
Dude... that sounds... kinda gay.
kinda looks like my uncle
Giant bump
This movie felt more like Disney offering an olive branch to Spielberg after the Roger Rabbit fallout rather than an attempt at making a big franchise.
Why'd they do cgi instead of live actors and trick photography?
lol why he dressed like Shrek
As is tradition when it comes to any punk shitter who takes a swing at Britain's children.
Really? The East Asian Grooming gangs seem to get away with it rather handily.
Probably too much effort and planning for modern filmmakers though.
youtu.be
This movie is some old school Disney magic. Everything is captured in camera. No post production special effects added.
I don't even remember this movie...
This take on the BFG is from 2016. You'd be lucky to find practical effects in a big-budget Hollywood movie by that point
Companies have to start letting go of irrelevant IP. Roald Dahl books always felt creepy to me in a not fun way. Kids don't like this kind of shit anymore. They don't like Looney Tunes or Scooby Doo or fucking Ghostbusters, they like weird shit on the internet
Unless you're Royal, on Telly, or a Brown Refugee of course
