Could this actually be kino? Also, who you would cast as the gentlemen?

This is one of the few movies that actually DO need a reboot because it sucked balls but was a cool concept
>>
>>70396529

This. Hollywood needs to trend these kinds of reboots instead.
>>
>>70396468

Better keep the rape scene in
>>
>>70396468
What is it about?
>>
>>70396468
Too late, we already have Penny Dreadful.
>>
>>70396613

Various literary characters are assembled to save the world, Allan Quartermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, etc etc

I think this would be way better as a series honestly
>>
ALL BLACK CAST NOW!!!
>>
>>70396684
Who are those unknown characters? why can't they be superheroes like Superman or Joker?
>>
>>70396613
19th Century Justice League
>>
>>70396643
>We already have Penny Dreadful
This, honestly.

The League works well in comics because Moore is a psychopath, but Penny Dreadful is closer to a solid adaptation of the concept than I think Fox will be able to pull off.
>>
I'm looking forward to it. I enjoyed the previous movie.

So how can this movie appease the massive crowds of vocal people that find everything offensive nowadays?

Quattermain is transgender, Nemo is...well he's already a minority...Mina is lesbian. And Black.

Dorian Grey is Chinese. And gay.

And Hyde can be white since he's a monster.

How do you fuck up a movie with Victorian era fictional characters teaming up for a superhero movie?
>>
This graphic novel is pretty overrated desu, local comic shop lady reccd it to me. The story really falls apart in the last quarter. I was disappointed because it starts off so fucking cool.

Did the Sean Connery one have the airship battle in it?
>>
>>70396468
>Fox
lel. They're almost as bad as Sony.
>>
As long as the Invisible Man is a woman and Jekyll/Hyde are transgender I'm game!
>>
>>70397053
Nemo simply has to be a Muslim! Maybe the Invisible Man could be black...

The Invisible Man will be a black father.

Nemo was a Sikh in the original..

I unironically enjoyed this movie and do not want to see a remake made

this so much

It's not kino. It's a perfect example of "so bad it's good".
Learn the difference, child.
>>
>>70397053

Fuck off
>>
i would really love them to do a completely faithful and artistically satisfying adaptation of the original comics, if only because i feel like that would make alan moore even more butthurt than when they fuck it up

Dr Jekyll is a black man but he turns into an evil rampaging aryan-white monster.

>avengers team made up of public domain characters they don't have to pay rights for

what's not to love?
>>
>>70396468
The Connery movie is very comfy, I like it.
>>
>>70397516
it made SC quit film altogether
>>
>>70396468
I really hope they'll pick John Hurt to replace Connery.

That still triggers me because that would mean that black people have a dark side and that's racist.

What about Sir Billy?

>>70396684
Indeed, the comics just have too much stuff to condense in a single movie.
>>
>>70396468
They're even rebooting the fucking flops now. You fucking fags need to start boycotting this shit.

Are we really going to sit here and take blow after blow of mindless capeshit???

We need to at least put up a fight
>>
>>70397924
Just read the comic then.
