10 Upcoming Movies That Have Already Pissed Fans Off
4. Hot Wheels
In spite of the popularity and acclaim that earned him the job at the helm of two Star Wars movies, after The Rise of Skywalker, J.J. Abrams lost a lot of points with a lot of people.
The producer/director may not have helped his cause any when recently speaking about the upcoming Hot Wheels movie that has been in development for some time. Reportedly, the movie couldn't get off the ground until they found something emotional, grounded, and gritty.
Movies based on toys are nothing new, as the Lego franchise has found great success, and Barbie is looking likely to be a smash hit in the coming weeks and months. While this news has some fans of the line excited, there are seemingly more questioning quite why a Hot Wheels movie needs to be any of these things.
Emotional, grounded, and gritty certainly have their place in Hollywood, but in a movie about Hot Wheels? These things don't seem to go together, and based on the reaction of most movie lovers, it's going to be an incredibly hard sell for Abrams. Why not just put the cars on the tracks and let the nostalgia flow?
