"Guinness Book of World Records" to Become an Action Adventure MoviePosted: June 8th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  About two weeks ago, Cracked magazine unveiled its list of books Hollywood can turn into movies when it runs out of ideas. The list contains such books as The Dictionary, The Phone Book, and The Guinness Book of World Records.
Apparently Hollywood ran out of ideas, because Warner Bros is actually turning "The Guinness Book of World Records" into an action adventure film. The studio hired Danny Chun ("The Office") to write the script.
The book obviously doesn't have any plot, so it will be up to the studio to create a story that will focus on the accomplishments of record-setters (longest fingernails, most tattoos, etc...) and give it global appeal.

No sh*t! Tell us something we don't know.
They've been running out of ideas for decades.
I know who can adapt the Guinness book for the silver screen: the jackass team. And in 3D.

Hollywood already had ran out of ideas when it made stupid remakes to classic 80's movies.
First Battleship and now this?
What's next? A live action Sonic The Hedgehog movie.

Deepest *sshole of development hell.
When I first heard of it (and that was... about 7 years ago I believe) Jim Carrey and Tim Burton were attached, but studio had problems with the budget rumored to be around $150 mil.
Today "A movie based on the game Battleship for $210+ million dollaz? Dude, that's like can't miss concept! We need more cocaine on asian titties!"

Jokes aside, it's bound to happen at some point in time.
It's got everything in it. A guaranteed four quadrant blockbuster.

If you ever visit Japan, you might be in for a surprise. Yeah, sometimes it's like "Find Waldo", but when the game works - damn.

You know, I thought of about fifty things to say in response to this post, and none of them, not one, was even remotely appropriate to the scale of perplexity and shock I felt when I read the news.
But yeah. Phone Book: The Movie. You're laughing now, but you just wait.

@Kurskij: me travelling to Japan? Not in this life mate. Morelikely, send me a nice Japanese girl with the biggest tits (if that was heavenly imaginable) you can possibly find then send it to me and I guarantee you that I'll give her the best tsunami in d*ck's history!
You have my word on that.
