Emojis - The Movie (WTF!?)

[Charmonium]

Yes, Sony is going to make a movie featuring animated emojis. I wonder if this will be better or worse than Angry Birds.

Sony Pictures Animation said Monday that it will produce an animated movie about “the secret world of our phones and the beloved characters that have become daily necessities in global interpersonal communication.”


“Emojimovie: Express Yourself” is due in August 2017. It will be written by Eric Siegel and Anthony Leondis and directed by Leondis. He previously wrote and directed “Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch” and “Igor.”


Sounds like a hit to you? Studios seem to think so. Deadline had earlier reported that Sony beat out two other movie studios bidding for the movie, paying “near seven figures” for the title.


So what emojis might make the cut and appear in the movie? The smiley seems the likely star and is the most-used emoji in every country except France, according to a SwiftKey study published in 2015. In France, the heart emoji is the favorite.

Well, at least it's not a remake right?

Up next... Twitter - The Movie
No actors, no dialog, no sets, just 1:30 of text on the screen(1:50 for the Extended Cut). You better hope everyone in the theater reads at the same pace.

I wonder if the eggplant and doughnut/taco/peach emojis will get together. That would probably get it an R rating.

People think we're moving forward with technology...when in reality with more and more emojis we're moving back to hieroglyphics!

It /could/ be a good movie, but I wouldn't bet on it. Don't like emojis. If it can't be done in ascii, it isn't worth doing.
