Please don’t, I’m so tired.
Why did it have to be Chris Pratt, ugh
Because Marvel-Disney have nothing for him and people are increasingly realizing he just isn’t that entertaining. So he is desperate to get on to another franchise that will protect him when he inevitably cancels himself for hateful shit.
Plus, he is a right wing chud and, if rumors are to be believed, this avoids vaccination requirements for big productions.
Because he’s the “handsome funny guy”

He’s not a voice actor. So, he just needs to sound like Chris Pratt.
Jake was a mute in Jak and Daxter, then a pissed off asshole in Jak 2, then a more wholesome but pragmatic asshole on Jak 3. Chris Prat just doesn’t fit the bill for any of his characters, so I think they’re just going for a “pretty boy” with funny words.
Quite the opposite of Jak.
Is Tom Holland now better known for Uncharted rather than Spiderman?
It’s a video game publication, so it makes sense that they would refer to his film based on a video game.
May be
We don’t want game movies. We would rather have new games based on these titles. Like how hard is Jax & Daxter? Make it move like GTA with some dark/light magic thrown in and a little steampunk and its done.
What if you actually make a new game in the series first? Or even just remaster the old games? Because I don’t think there’s a lot of people at the moment that remember the games and would want to see a movie of it.
There were remasters at the tail end of the PS4, right? So just need to put those on a discount or front page ad if Sony even cares.
But also? It doesn’t matter if kids give a shit about the games. They see cute and fun Ottsels and have weird feelings any time Keira is on screen. And parents drag their kids to the movie theatre because THEY remember liking these games so obviously their kids will too.
Like, the vast majority of the kids who lost their mind over the CGI mario movie never played a mario in their lives. Hell, was just in a discussion of “The Best Shredder” and it is fascinating how often TMNT takes over the cultural zeitgeist even though the games are hit or miss and NOBODY has read the comics (because, if you have, you either can’t stop talking about how good the IDW run is or how batshit insane it is that Raph married a werewolf and then burned her corpse in the snowy alps within like three issues. Or that April is actually a drawing come to life).
The remaster was for PS3 only. The PS4 version of the games are just ports of the PS2 version, so you can’t even play the remastered versions on current generation PS4/PS5
Who thinks that they’ll actually make the movie about the game characters, vs just using the same names and not caring beyond that?
Honestly couldn’t care less. But if that means more Jak & Daxter games then go ahead.
Ehn. Gonna be an easy pass for me.
I hope the rumors are false. Hasn’t hollywood ruined enough franchises by now? At the very least give us a remaster of the original trilogy, they’re timeless masterpieces.
I’m ok with this. Not excited to have Chris Pratt voice a Jak and Daxter character but it’ll bring attention to the IP which might give us a new game.
So Hollands “Daxter” will just be Holland talking…no funny voice.
No, Holland is Jak. Pratt is Daxter.
Ohhh what?…that really changes the perceived dynamic that I thought they were going for…
For some reason…that sounds worse
Because nether of those actors fit either of thsoe actors. Why aren’t Max Castella and Mike Erwin the first choice for this???
