A Play-Doh movie might be coming to a theater near you

play-doh

We’re reaching peak cute. Whether that’s a good or bad thing remains to be seen.


Following the runaway success of The LEGO Movie, it appears another childhood favorite will get the Hollywood treatment. Deadline reports 20th Century Fox is in talks with Hasbro for a live-action film based on Play-Doh. You know, that weird mushy modeling material you ate (but were told not to) as a young child.


The key here is that all parties involved are simply “in talks,” so it’s unlikely we’ll see a Play-Doh film anytime soon. But here’s the most significant tidbit: Paul Feig, who is directing the all-female Ghostbusters movie, is being tapped to direct. Suddenly a film based around Play-Doh doesn’t sound all that bad.


Remember, a full-length LEGO movie didn’t sound all that appealing when it was officially announced, but we all saw how that turned out. There’s potential here to replicate that success, so it’s no surprise to hear executives exploring the idea; The LEGO Movie managed to gross over $650 million worldwide, and there are several other films being planned.


It’ll be tough to hit the same notes The LEGO Movie did, especially considering how high the bar has been set. I enjoyed playing with Play-Doh as a kid, but it wasn’t quite as satisfying as LEGO. We’ll see if anything is actually molded into something resembling a successful movie.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
