In a day and age were Hollywood can’t seem to come up with any fresh or original ideas, you had to know that a movie based on Emojis was going to come sooner or later. Right? Well, it’s coming whether or not you like it. That’s right, a f*cking Emoji movie. The Emoji Movie, to be precise. Not a Dredd sequel or series, a movie dedicated to Emojis.
In what already appears like it will be the most disliked trailer in YouTube history by the end of the week, we meet the Meh emoji who walks us through this very “meh” trailer. Sorry for all of the hate, it’s just – we always hear about how Hollywood has no original ideas anymore – and it’s hard to have hope when stuff like this continues to come out.
Check it out below:
Hidden inside a smartphone, the bustling city of Textopolis is home to all emojis. Each emoji has only one facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his best friend Hi-5 and a notorious code breaker called Jailbreak. During their travels through the other apps, the three emojis discover a great danger that could threaten their phone’s very existence.
The Emoji Movie hits theaters August 4th, 2017 – if you’re actually interesting in watching it.
