Joel Silver to Produce a Sgt. Rock Movie Set in the Future – Stupidest Movie Idea Ever!
 |
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the, long in development limbo, Sgt. Rock movie adaptation has been revived… which is probably not for the best.
Joel Silver has been trying to get this project off the ground for nearly 20 years, and will be working on this latest incarnation with director Francis Lawrence, producer Akiva Goldsman, and screenwriter Chad St. John.
Why now, when so many previous attempts have failed? Well, read on, you won’t like the answer to that question!
Until now, “Rock” has retained its World War II setting, with Silver and the studio trying to make a big-budget action adventure movie that was a throwback to flicks like “The Dirty Dozen,” which feature acts of American derring-do.
But a big budget always was an obstacle and, “Inglourious Basterds” notwithstanding, period war movies have not been in vogue in Hollywood for years, unless it was a more serious contemplation of the subject like “Saving Private Ryan.” Also, American jingoism went out of style after 9/11; even this summer’s G.I. Joe movie dropped the toy’s “A Real American Hero” tagline and made the action team internationally focused.
The studio hopes moving the time period to the future solves the dilemma.
Yes, you read it right… THE FUTURE! Why stop there? Why not just have Sgt.Rock, Space Marine, hell, he could battle the Aliens and Predators. People love that shit!
If the idea of a WWII comic brought the the big screen is not viable, then just don’t do it! If you want to do another post-apocalyptic movie, then just do that, leave Sgt. Rock out of it!
Hopefully this abomination will never see the light of day!
