15 Most Ridiculous Movies In Development
1. Emojimovie: Express Yourself
Release Date: August 4, 2017
The Pitch: A movie...based on...emojis.
Why It's Ridiculous: How is this not ridiculous in every fiber of its being? Movie studios have become so cynical and desperate that they're branding messenger chat symbols and hoping to make hundreds of millions of dollars from it. The scariest thing is that they will probably succeed.
Will It Be Any Good?: The core of the movie sounds woefully generic (a multi-expressional emoji goes on a journey to try and become normal, but inevitably realises the benefits of expressiveness), but at least it has the brilliant T.J. Miller voicing the protagonist.
It really depends on whether it can end up as surprisingly self-aware, like The Lego Movie, or if it's incredibly earnest and generic. Let's just say expectations aren't high.
