…Because Male 18-24 is very familiar with this brand.
Trawling the bottom of the barrel for toy-as-film property. Sure, it was a cool toy in the mid 70s — but this has Land of the Lost redux written all over it.
Ryan Kavanaugh must want to lose more money on this than he lost on Mirror Mirror. Stretch Armstrong will flop he’s a stupid character who has already been surpassed by the stretchy Reed Richards in Fantastic Four. Relativity speaking they don’t know what they are doing there.
Trawling the bottom of the barrel for directors, too. Land of the Lost looks great compared to this hackery.
this will be a huge franchise for Relativity. Maybe as big as McGruber.
Can’t Wait! Battleship was such a success, what can go wrong!
I’ll go if they have a “Scuba Stretch” scene. They will need an awful lot of corn syrup to get this film made
