Live Action Pony Is Coming!

(...You have been warned!)

This is the biggest news we've gotten in a while. It's also the ONLY news we've gotten in a while, but I'll take what I can get. Hasbro is allergically working with Amazon MGM Studios to make a live action My Little Pony movie.

Plus, my take on this morning's Emmy nominations, Cameron Diaz's return to Netflix, Kenneth Lonergan's comeback, and the Nosferatu reunion brewing at Focus Features.

Will it be good? Or will it be terrible? Will it even get made at all? Who knows? Amazon MGM's output doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

But, at least we probably won't be getting the worst case scenario.

Live-Action pony?

Considering the horrible track record of most live-action versions of animated movies, I'm not too exited about it. Yeah, there's been a couple good gems like the Sonic movies, but I'm not holding my breath. Right now, I'm about 80% certain that a live-action MLP movie will be .

Time will tell, i guess.

Transformers films are all dead. GI JOE dead. MLP live action movie greenlit. What.

I don't believe it because it sounds like an obviously hopelessly doomed idea, but I thought the same thing when rumors started swirling about a live action Sonic movie.

If by some miracle they actually make it to a first trailer, I hope it's not another "Ugly Sonic" moment. We were lucky the people behind the first Sonic film listened to the fans and made the appropriate corrections.

Though, we don't know yet if this will be based on any existing generations. We may not have to worry about another "Ugly Sonic" scenario.

Ugly Sonic is an absolute legend in the industry. I'm confident they won't let that happen here.

I'm doubtful for other reasons. Sonic worked for reasons that aren't inherently applicable to anything else. Unless they're going to the G1 route, which Hasbro has never shown any interest in doing again, there is no role for live action characters here.
