I think this would work and be reasonably scary as a cartoon but in live action it's visually going to fall flat.
Only way to make the inherent silliness of CGI Emily less of a detraction is to make the movie intentionally funny I guess

>>94852668
With some appropriate changes it could work. Like instead of making her appear as a stereotypical ghost in CGI just do what An American Werewolf in London did and make her a human that only she can see with the occasional powers. Not very original but it's better way to go.

My dream version of this film would just have been Laiki doing it but I'm not completely put off by the idea of live action.

Not enough story in the book, period.

>>94853551
the plot hits enough beats but obviously the dialogue will have to be fleshed out
The question is if it'll stay accurate to the book's tone

>comedy
>IMDb shows this fucker as involved in Borat and Brüno

>his screenplay is fresh and distinctive
>a classic high school comedy with a supernatural twist

Jesus, this is gonna be such a piece of shit. I can't imagine how this might turn out to be an even marginally good movie.

>>94854148
Borat was a damn good satire tailor-made time it was produced, a lot of that is due to Larry Charles though
He's not the right pick for this material in any case. I'd be very surprised if the visual element of the story was given any justice

>>94852668
There's not enough in the book to warrant an hour screentime, so I won't be surprised if it is very different from it's source material. I'll wait until I see the commercials before I judge it

>>94852668
if they don't make anya and siobhan girlfriends then i don't give a shit

>MFW They make Anya a black lesbian for "diversity"

>>94854969
The story is fundamentally about a Russian girl who is the daughter of an immigrant
Change that and a whole lot else changes too

>>94852668
Let's see how they fuck this up.

>>94853642
>>94854148
I don't think they're going for the actual plot of the comic, with its dark subtones and the terror twist. I'm afraid Emily will be a edgy version of Casper at most. The "high school comedy with a supernatural twist" points towards a stupid movie with ghost shenanigans. I'd give you an example, but I can't think of an actual movie that did what I'm thinking about.

>>94854969
Already jumping to conclusions?

>>94852668
Yet another thing I liked ruined by hollywood, Yaaaay.

they better find a believably thicc russian actress to play the lead

>tfw live action means no inspired ss art with Anya and her little brother cuz cartoons are fine but 3d is eww
Why bother?

>>94852668
I mean I like the comic/graphic novel/whatever, but it seems way too short to make into a movie.

Also, how much you want to bet they cut out like 90% of all the "Being Russian" stuff?

>>94855392
Casting will be tricky certainly
Will probably have to be a newcomer because any established actress isn't going to have the right demeanor or be too conventionally "hot"

>>94855413

I'm curious, but Anya's Ghost isn't really a comedy, so the fact that they keep mentioning that part is a red flag already. I like Brosgol's artstyle for this comic a lot, too, so it sucks that it's in live action. The guys working on this are literally whos who have all been a part of some pretty shit movies, too.

I don't want it to be bad because I love the original, but it most likely will be and I look forward to /co/'s outrage.

I wanted one, I got one, and it was good. Now the masses will get exposed to this (possibly) watered-down and shitty version, hate it, and never actually look at the source material while I silently weep from my autistic construct about the true beauty of this story's true form. It's the Scott Pilgrim movie all over again.

>>94857744
Actually, I'm being too harsh. The Scott Pilgrim movie was fine, I just didn't like that it cut so much out (but I understand that it was necessary)

What do you think they'll replace the russian stuff with?

>>94857744
Calling it now- the movie will change Mary's backstory so that she actually was raped and that's why she turns poltergeist-tier near the end. So the audience will feel bad for her, instead of disgusted that she was a bitch in real life and a bitch in death.

>>94857951
There will be a very funny joke about the american president being a russian spy

ha ha

>>94857951
LGBTQ and anti-trump

>>94855124
black girl from Johannesburg. same shit.

>>94854969
If they racechanged her at all they'd make her a mexican probably

Mexican food also makes you fat

Some good Anon can share the original comic?, looks comfy

it's disappointing that it's not animated because the character designs are distractingly cute, but other than that i don't see how it's bad that this is live action, the book isn't that fantastical

>>94858243

authentic Mexican food doesn't even have cheese. besides queso fresco, but that's minor.

>>94858422
Come on Anon!, Mexico barely have food...

It's like some of you are posting from cue cards. What's the most outrageous things you can complain about.

Good book tho, buy it, support the author who also has a new book out soon.

>>94852668
Seriously now, who the fuck keeps using the monkey paw

>>94857760
It's been a while since I watched it, but I was actually shocked by how faithful it was overall. They cut less than I was expecting (even though it might have helped the movie itself flow better if they had).

>>94852668
>watch them turn 'Anya' into 'Aisha', the immigrant muslim girl who is bullied by her white peers

>>94862138
No one would care if it's a bad book, becasue they are fucking up a good one they are more invested in the potentially bad name it could get.

Marketers my man, it's this self-fulfilling cycle of them shilling a product on 4chan, flooding the boards with their own posts hyping up the product, going to their execs and saying "look how well this product is doing online", the exec greenlighting the product, and then it crashing once everyone realizing there was never nay genuine interest to begin with.
Pro-tip: this has been going on recently with Hey Arnold, Invader Zim, Ed, Edd and Eddy, and Billy & Mandy
