Apparently being a LITTLE PERSON means if you are cast in a film it's somehow offensive and insulting...to who❓is there then something shameful and awful in being a little person..DOES that awful activist passing for an actor Peter Dinklege the ONLY actor that gets EMPLOYMENT now since his anti dwarf sanctimonious rant deprived seven actors from.employment in the Snow White remake..what kind of racist bull is this passing as virtue
Look, this looks like it is trying to be a sequel... if you watch the trailer closely, you'll see the original cast of the 'little people' in it, I'm not excusing the film... but this is just the 'current year' nonsense
@@gawainethefirst The whole thing looked like it was going to be try-hard... I think the fact that they made the leader a female was less important... She looks like an f-up like the original team, which is an improvement... Now if they don't let her be a proper f-up, then it'll be waaay worse.
I like Taika - not so much his missus - but what has he DONE?? The original was a star-studded, magical, weird, bonkers adventure. This one has Lisa Kudrow.
Who's completely miscast in this flat joyless remake. It's not zany or bonkers... Because you can't offend anyone.. The original Time Bandits were Little People uh oh you'll offend Peter Dinklage.
Eh. The author of the book The Neverending Story hates the 3 movies. He sued to try to make them change the name or stop production. He lost the case. So, the movie wasn't original and pissed of the dude the created the story. The 1980 Flash Gordon was the 4th official Flash Gordon movie based on the old comics. So, it was a remake of sequel of someone else's old shit. Legend was the only movie you mentioned that actually was original. Hollywood has always either done direct remakes, sequels, or redone storylines. Our sense of nostalgia makes us forget that.
@@GreyseabeeThey're not destroying anything. You'll still be able to watch all those movies and not have to see any other versions of your don't want to. I grew up watching all of this. Any remakes, reboots, etc don't affect my childhood.
They can't .. Hollywood has lost all creativity, imagination and soul.. All they can do is copy , ruin and destroy classics with vfx ,AI scripts and soulless acting .
@@user-pm6nx1fs2w Except they are. You know this. But you keep on trolling! (I won't feed you anymore) but you do you. "The terms "person of short stature," "little person," and "dwarf" are commonly used in the United States to refer to a person with a medical condition called "dwarfism." Although preferred terms vary by person and community, according to the Little People of America website, many people who experience dwarfism prefer the term "little person." "
If I was him, I wouldn't attempt to remake Time Bandits, Brazil, or any Terry Gilliam film. Also, for a kids' film, Time Bandits was deeply unsettling to me as a child, especially the ending. No matter who makes it, and who's involved, you can't improve upon Terry Gilliam's films. I'm not sure i even like Time Bandits, but it was wonderful. Maybe wait another 100 years, and make an immersive VR game of Time Bandits. I'm not saying this movie won't be good, it might be amazing, but it won't be Gilliam. Terry was tapped into something deep in the unconscience, surreal and absurd, but meaningful.
@@JohnWestIVExactly. I have fond memories of watching Time Bandits with my brother when we were kids. This doesn't affect the original movie or its affect on me at all
@@Abaddon231 Since it's a show, I'm not sure what metrics they'll use for success. How do you know it was written by AI. I see writing credits for Jermaine Clements and Iain Morris, among others. I doubt those 2 will just use AI when they're known for their writing.
For God's sake, Gilliam is not only still alive, but he's working on a new film: _In June 2024, Gilliam announced the making of a new film called The Carnival at the End of Days. It will star Depp, reuniting with Gilliam, along with Bridges, Driver, and Jason Momoa. The production of the film is expected to begin in January 2025 according to Gilliam. _*_Johnny Depp will play Satan, and Jeff Bridges will play God_*_ in that film._ Which sounds far more interesting than this re-hash.
Gilliam would've done wonders on his own version of Finney's THE CIRCUS OF DR. LAO. Due to his age now, that'll never come to pass most likely. Just glad he's working again, period.
Unfortunately, the studio owns the copyright not him. If you know anything about Gilliam, you'll know why he's said he doesn't like this version of his story.
The first movie, the original can never be outdone. I remember the first time seeing it, so I added it to my prime account. Hollywood really knows how to ruin something great. Some movies should be left alone. Much love and respect fam
This doesn't erase the existence of the original, if anything it might introduce a new generation to it. No one has to watch if they don't want to, and anyone can watch the original just as easily as they could before this.
@@kirbylee311 That was just a substitute for the closet in the original movie. As for Narnia, humans have got there via all kinds of dimensional doorways.
I love Taika and Jermaine but no… this is blasphemy. You can’t just remake or reboot a classic 80’s movie like Time Bandits. That magic cannot be duplicated!
Some movies aren't meant to be redone....And Time Bandits is on top of that list.This movie will not be able to compare to that time frame and nostalgia...Cmon now!
Haven't you heard? It's intolerant to cast Little People as Little People. Obviously, the "Snow White" debacle has not taught anyone in Hollywood anything.
I hate how Hollywood won't use little people. It seems like discrimination. I am going to take a stand and not see this because of this discrimination.
There's plenty of original things. If nobody is paying to see that stuff or giving those projects coverage then Studios are just gonna continue to give their money to the same ole same ole.
1:18 When she said that they are the TIME BANDITS, my inner child became very sad. I am HIGHLY DISGRUNTLED by this! I'm not sexist. Time Bandits were dwarves.
The original movie is an absolute classic, and I still own my VHS copy. I can't tell if this is supposed to be a sequel or a remake, or a little of both. I'll wait for all of the episodes to drop, then use that 1 month free Apple TV trial I have waiting. There's no way it's going to be even close to as good as the movie, but at least I won't be paying for it.
Where are the little people!!?? Original is an absolute classic... PLEASE show your kids (anf yourself) that one if you haven't already. It's brilliant
Now I have to watch the original and wash it down with a big old glass of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen just to get the taste of this out of my mouth.
I'm a big fan of Terry Gillium's original but I give this version fair chance. It's actually a good premise for series, since in can go anywhere in time.
