I had no idea they were making a Popeye movie, but this movie doesn't surprise me.

TBF, Popeye would probably have been toned down, I hear they wouldn't let him have his pipe in it.
As for TEM,
1) Possibly another step towards the reality of Ass: The Movie.
2) Would improve 1000% if they scrapped it and reshot it using...

Is Hollywood really so creatively bankrupt that they're making movies based on Emojis?

Not seen any trailers.
How is this film going to work? Is it just the characters on a white background for 90 minutes?

According to IMDb, the synopsis so far is "The film will center on Gene, a multi-expressional emoji who sets out on a journey to become a normal emoji.". Which is... a thing. I don't understand what a "normal" emoji is even supposed to be, but yeah. Also, how can there be a "multi-expressional" emoji when they're each meant to represent a specific emotion. I'm suddenly feeling like I'm putting more thought into this than Sony is. So, it's basically Inside Out. Except shit. And not the shit emoji that's actually in the damn movie.

I hate the word emoji to begin with so an entire movie of it is all downhill from there really.

Also, Sony is waiting to see how this movie does before they sell their TV/Movie division.

The one thing the movie may have going is its a blank slate and some creatively talented people can make it great. See Phil Lord and Chris Miller who made a career out of it with The Jump Street Movies and The Lego Movie. Patrick Stewart casted as the poop emoji is a step in the write direction even if Stewart playing against the type is getting clichéd.

Especially in a day & age where we get nothing but sequels & reboots. This kind of reminds me of the original idea for Cars, which was meant to be life INSIDE a vehicle. But, emojis are designed for specific emotions, not for general use.

I brought it up in another post, but at least Angry Birds has A plot. I just have no idea how to make a movie with smiley faces and poop.

Watch every Pixar, "Wacky mismatched opposites go on a roadtrip, become BFFs," and Dreamworks, "Misunderstood loner wants to be loved," movie and smash them together. That's exactly what this thing sounds like.

If you want to make a movie with an "ensemble" cast of characters, people are going to rip the Lego movie. The problem is in an emoji movie what the hell is the point of the movie. At least Lego has solid characters and can make things with said Legos. What can you do with emojis outside of making the movie dirty like Sausage Party

Also, Sony is waiting to see how this movie does before they sell their TV/Movie division. Disney Exec: "Okay,that's the relevant paperwork done and it's an incredible honour to make Columbia/Tri Star part of the Disney family. Now let's see what we've got here, Spider-Man comes into full Marvel Studios control now of course, Ghostbusters, despite last year's controversy is a franchise we can fully promote into the future under the right guidance and can do something with at the Parks. Men In Black is another franchise we can utilise in the future. After we have...Smurfs? Yeah I suppose, uhh what's this? THE EMOJI MOVIE?? Huh?" Sony Exec *giggling as he runs away*: "No givesy backsies! *tee hee*"
