Are We Ready For Bruckheimer's G-FORCE?!

Published at:  Dec 23, 2008 1:42:01 PM CST


Merrick here...


USA Today has a look at some characters from the Jerry Bruckheimer produced G-FORCE.

This one's directed by FX demigod Hoyt Yeatman (Cronenberg's THE FLY, THE ABYSS, ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK, and many more) and is, essentially, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE with Guinea Pigs.

Follow the headset wearing rodent to find more!!





The film opens next Summer, complete with a score by Brucklheimer's actionmeister Trevor Rabin.

    by coma baby

    Hmmm... maybe this started as a G-Force/Gatchaman remake and then, after some script refinement, the suits whittled our heroes down to two, got rid of their wings, and made them guinea pigs...
    Isn't anyone working on an actual live action Gatchaman? It must be happening somewhere. That could be cool.

    First Team America...

    by jonas grumpy

    ...now "G-Force." Are there no other names for movies that haven't already been used in other media, fooling us geeks into thinking that it's an adaptation of the original material?

    PS: Let us not forget that "Team America" was originally a comic book about a group of motorcycle riders, based on a short-lived line of toys back in the mid-'80s.

    PPS: "Iceman" and "Quicksilver" were not movies about the Marvel mutants.

    by earthquake westcoast

    Every one that sees that title gets excited thinking it's about "GATCHAMAN", only to get highly dissapointed when they find out it's about guina pigs. Which makes people hate that movie even more for giving them false hope in seeing a "Gatchaman" film.

    Everyone's laughing now and maybe later everyone will be laughing at the idea just before it comes out but I'm telling you I hope Bruckheimer gets sued into changing the name of the movie by the actual G-Force movie crew. Not just because I don't like the idea here really (I'm shocked no one has posted "What the fuck?" about this idea yet, are we that starved for semi-original ideas?) but I also think the guinea pig spy movie makers can come up with an even funnier name than just G-Force. Hey, first this now then we'll see Hamtoro: The Motion Picture (soundtrack by the band Disturbed heh heh)

    Western culture can't take more than that. Oh, I forgot, TRANFORMERS is execed by Spielberg, not Bruckheimer. Spielberg in the mode of: 'despite my on-the-record dismissal of the 'quick-cutting MTV' style of film-making, I am going to get me some of this Michael Bay shit in, because the likelyhood is that I will make some money off beaming violent images into kids' brains'.
