Jerry Bruckheimer + One Of The Greatest VFX Masterminds Around = Genetically Enhanced Combat/Espionage Rodent Things!!
Merrick here...
Gabriel Casseus will star in G-FORCE for Jerry Bruckheimer. Casseus has worked on Bruckheimer projects before, most notably BLACK HAWK DOWN, CSI: NY, and CSI: MIAMI.
G-FORCE has nothing to do with the kinda cool G-Force music visualizer of the same name, or the G-Force: Guardians of Space anime project from a while back.
Casseus will play...
an NSA agent tracking a group of genetically enhanced animal commandos
...says THIS ARTICLE IN VARIETY!
ANOTHER ARTICLE IN VARIETY offers a touch more clarity about the animals. Sort of.
Seems they're...
...team of genetically enhanced guinea pigs working as spies for the U.S. government.
This reminds of the XBOX title CONKER: LIVE AND RELOADED, which features a scummy, gun toting squirrel.
G-FORCE will will be directed by Hoyt Yeatman, a long time visual effects god who has graced projects rlike STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, BLADE RUNNER, BUCKAROO BANZAI, Cronenberg's THE FLY, and THE ABYSS. His previous FX association with Bruckheimer includes THE ROCK, CON-AIR, and ARMAGEDDON.
That's a pretty damn cool list of credits (I left quite a few out). It'll be interesting to see if he can direct as well as he can..ummm...effect.
This project could be either incredibly bizarre and cool, or a total disaster. Very curious to see how this pans out.

Does it?
-
Might they consider a name change?
-
very very strange. I suppose on how well it works depends on how stright or goofy they play it
-
Oh wait not that one?
-
sounds like a complete and utter rip-off. And I think New Line has the rights to We3...
-
he doesnt rape my childhood, he just rapes me.
-
Too bad, because We3 is a great property, hopefully it still gets made!
-
. . . of Adolescent Radioactive Black-Belt Hamsters, that is . . .
-
Rodents? Rodents??? You couldn't come up with something scarier? Jeez. Why do you think they invented the Borg? Ferengi were supposed to be scary but fell totally flat.
-
this sounds like a piece of shit
-
And when this movie sucks you can already have your response ready. I'll even type it for you:This movie was awesome! So what if 90% of it sucked, you got to see rats fight, what where you expecting, Hamlet?
-
But I'm old enough to remember the first Star Trek movie, and that sucked balls.
Why can't they just get Uwe Boll to direct it so i can just accept it will be shit.
-
Let's hope he pulls it off.
-
Fiddy's G-Unit for G-Force.
-
I LOVED that show...I guess it's too similar to "Voltron" for the movie execs, though.
-
...that I endorse it.
-
that you just read and think it could either be the most stupid and horrible thing ever or pure genius. maybe even both hahaha.
-
Hey Jerry! Where's Michael?
-
I liked that idea. Enhanced dinos sound better than enhanced Guinea Pigs I know that description is probably not meant to be taken literally but this is from the guy who gave us Kangaroo Jack.
-
will they use the same geneticlly enhanced rodent costumes from Tank Girl? cuz they were great.

I hope this will kill that Jurassic Park IV madness.
by jackpumpkinhead
The "Dinobot and the Cretaceous Commandos" one. I still have nostalgic memories of the first JP and good memories of the third one (the second one never was), so I would like to smash the skull of the creature that proposed the dino strike force idea with a coprolite.
-
whats happening to that, are they still making that movie?
-
Make THAT happen.
That is all. -
...Barnyard Commandos.
-
Even if its Bruckheimer he is not going to be allowed to rip off one of the greatest comics of the last 10 years. If this goes into production i hope he gets his ass sued by WB for this. WE3 needs to be fast tracked by WB executives NOW. I could see WE3 being directed by Peter Jackson. Thats how important WE3 is.
-
Would Enemy Of The State fall in between that list? And don't indict Hoyt Yeatman for those Bay flicks. He did the effects work ok? The EFFECTS, he didn't direct the friggin movies...
-
for several square miles around San Pedro, CA this weekend. Lots of marinas and abandoned warehouses around there. Which we all know are where the hero is usually tortured before he gets mad enough to kick ass.
-
...do they mean guinea pigs? Or are they just using the general terminology for experimental subject? I couldn't generate the enthusiasm to click on the article to see for sure.
-
i agree that we3 is a brilliant comic, but what about the people who have never heard of it? i bought it in issue form as it came out, and i've lent it out to several people, but for those who are unfamiliar with WE3, here's some info from amazon:
This title reads a bit like Robocop meets Homeward Bound meets the final scene of The Wild Bunch. In it, animals are being transformed into intelligent experimental weapons, and three in particular are trained to work together as a team known as WE3. When the animals formerly known as Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit are decommissioned and condemned to death, their doctor/trainer decides to let them escape. What follows is a series of action-packed and heartbreaking chase and fight scenes between the lethal animals and the United States military. The artwork is innovative and breathtaking, and there are several pages without text. While this requires some concentration, those who take time to look carefully at all of the images will witness an amazing story. This book pulls no punches; sensitive readers will be moved to tears, and animal lovers might be moved to put the book down for a while before picking it up again. The violence is often graphic, but those who wade through all the blood will be rewarded with some badly needed closure. Compelling, moving, and disturbing, this is a thought-provoking work for mature readers.–Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

Tony Scott to be Bay-like, with a smidge more talent, and who got lucky with a good script in True Romance..just curious..Oh, and no debate...Pirates 3 owes me the time it sucked from my life and the admission price.
-
Loved that movie. Made the popcorn go down real good.

...until DOMINO. I decided that as I'd never had an epileptic fit before, I didn't want to start now, and so I watched that shit at half speed. It still made no sense.
Stylistically, Tony Scott took the heavy saturation, simplistic colour palette and stylish editing from the commercials he did in the 80s (especially that kick-ass Saab commercial), and applied it to film. After he met Bruckheimer, the influence spread to the Bruck, who began imposing it on everyone he worked with. Scott begat Bay (watch BAD BOYS and tell me Bay hasn't crossed TOP GUN with LAST BOY SCOUT stylistically) who then begat all manner of all-style-no-substance shit, such as Rupert fucking Wainwright (so much is wrong with the way STIGMATA looks, I have no idea where to begin) and Len Wiseman (fuck off! Just FUCK OFF!!!). The madness in the Scott bgeatting ends with Scott begatting Scott, who ends up ripping himself off in DOMINO and disappearing up his own arse. Shame really, because the mistake people make with Tony Scott is thinking that HE is all style no substance, when in fact he's very fucking good with substance. See LAST BOY SCOUT, REVENGE, TRUE ROMANCE, CRIMSON TIDE, and even TOP GUN (hey, he took a magazine commercial and made you give a shit about the pilots - thats sort of substance!).
My point is, Scott is a genius in his own right, and no amount of Bay ripping him off (though to be fair, I am a major Bay fan and would defend his entertaining brainless explosions genre to the hilt) will alter that.
This sounds like WE3, by the way. And I have noticed that I'm not the first to notice this. -
He's gonna put a spell on these fuckos. They'll wake up with their testicles inside out, a rat inside their skull gnawing at their brains and a raging case of herpes.
Don't fuck with the mad Scotsman. And try reading the Filth if you REALLY want to go to bed confused as fuck.
WE3 should DEFINITELY be Peter Jackson's next movie. It IS that important. You called it, my friend. That graphic novel had me crying like a bitch. -
Oh wait, I forgot about the first SPAWN. That was a masterpiece (he says with sarcasm).
-
for that Pelecanos wire tapping shit a while back.
-
is the first thing i thought of.
wonder if they'll sue.... -
Paul Dini just signed on to write the script.

The Xbox version was a remake. Sorry to nitpick.

I'm going to wait and see on this one. I dont think there is enough information to really say one way or another. And by the way, I love Star Trek, The Motion picture. I know, I know, it moves at a snails pace at times, etc., but it also brought a sense of the "legendary" to Star Trek that I think helped all the following films and reflected back well on the tv series. And Armageddon? Well that's the biggest music video I've ever seen. Con Air? a fun popcorn flick that I wouldn't take that seriously. The Rock? decent enough film. Pear Harbor? I was surprised by that. I thought it was going to be shit, but I think it was actually decent enough. I think it comes off as more of a tribute towards the people who actually went through those times than as a piece of entertainment for the rest of us, but that's ok. Those who fought WWII have my deepest admiration. They deserve far more than they have gotten in film so far, especially the Pacific theater. Pacific Theater recommendations? OBJECTIVE BURMA, BACK TO BATAAN, AN AMERICAN GUERRILLA IN THE PHILIPPINES, NO MAN IS AN ISLAND, HELL IN THE PACIFIC, TO LATE THE HERO, FAREWELL TO THE KING, PRISONERS OF THE SUN, THE THIN RED LINE (with some reservations for accuracy), PEAR HARBOR, WINDTALKERS, and THE GREAT RAID. That may seem like a lot to seem people, but compared to the numerous films on the European theater, that aint all that much. And some subjects have barely been touched on. I'm looking very forward to THE PACIFIC, the sequel mini series to the awesome BAND OF BROTHERS that they are now working on. Not sure why I just typed all this here. I guess I'm bored. Later.

This is one of the coolest stories I've ever read. Screw this wannabe poop. Gud dog! And that killer bull mastif....AWESOME! The art...too good.
-
No sir, VERY cool. You just gotta be in the right... mindset for it. *ahem*
-
That´s why he´s trying to destroy that genre.
-
...but Revenge is a piece of flyblown shit.
-
occasion? THEN MAKE WE3. Fincher to direct (fuck Peter Jackson).
-
has made some decent flicks...Hidalgo, October Sky, The Rocketeer and Honey I Shrink The Kids was better than it had the right to be. Jumanji and JP3..? Your call.

by artemisclydefrog
