Emoji: the movie -

That's seven figures too many.
Especially on a film about some emoticons. How would they even make a movie on emoticons?
I wonder if it's in response to Inside Out.
The standard studio thought process goes, "This thing is popular, buy the movie rights." Movie making is so expensive these days that Hollywood would rather go with something like this, which I guarantee will be shit, than an original idea. It's perceived as a lower risk.
Apart from anything else, you get a lot of free publicity out of the concept. If you say "there's an Emoji movie," you get people talking - more than you do by saying "big new original fantasy film."
If it actually does get made, then the story will be about an Emoji and his home is threatened by someone who hates emotional expression (autistics?) but then through the power of friendship the day is saved, then the screenwriter orders a pick-up truck of cocaine.

Oh joy. It's Fred and The Annoying Orange all over again.
A lot.
Truly, we are living in the autistic generation
What's that? Running out of adaptations hollywood? Fearing that you'll have to inevitably get your collective heads out of your asses and start making some original stories for movies?
FUCK THAT, LETS START MAKING MOVIES ABOUT OTHER FORMS OF MEDIA

Nah, that won't happen until we elect an Autistic president. Then we can panic.
That aside, this is going to blow chunks, calling it now.
Are they trying to compete with Food Fight?
but that makes less sense
it might have worked 10 years ago or so
maybe now my "world of acronyms" movie will be made!
The fucking smiling turd emoji goes on a journey to reach transcendence.
Is the movie going to take place on a black teenagers phone?
it's official

Sure, the idea of making a movie based on emojis may seem like an of-the-moment cultural cash grab — but what if the Spotify mobile app also had a starring role? According to The Wrap, that's the plan for the upcoming The Emoji Movie, and it's just one of many brand partnerships that the studio is pursuing with the new film.
During last night's CinemaCon presentation, Sony Pictures Animation president Kristine Belson took the stage to offer the first concrete details on the movie, and let's just say it was... interesting. "Did you know inside your phone there's a secret world?" she asked the crowd before explaining that the movie will apparently take place inside an actual smartphone, with the emoji themselves serving as characters living in "Emoji Valley." Things like a smartphone's home screen are all given physical counterparts in the world of the movie, with Belson mentioning that the studio has partnered with several major app developers for inclusion in the film, though no partners were named during last night's presentation.

Sony owns an ungodly amount of shit they could make shitty film adaptations of, Specifically ones that haven't had any adaptations of any kind other than the source material, but NOPE GOTTA MAKE EMOJI MOVIE.
This reminds me of that fake M&Ms movie trailer they show for the "turn off your fucking phones" reminders before a film starts. Sadly an M&Ms movie might actually be slightly enjoyable since the M&MS are really fucking weirdly developed characters compared to most food mascots.
Something tells me it'll somehow be tied to those "new girl emojis" from that one campaign ad that gave us the wonderful image of some idiot holding an iphone like it's a mic. needless to say, I can't wait!!!
My one regret with this film's existance is that they probably won't focus on the shit and eggplant Emojis, or the dancing Jihad guy.
