https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engadget.com/amp/2019/12/07/free-guy-trailer/ We have the Truman Show. And now we have this. So in novels the genre of NPC growing sentient and knowing they live in a game world isn't new, Gate of Revelation, generic Jap novels that I cannot name due to lacking brain cells and probably some english novels that cover the topic too. Oh, Star Ocean 3, not a novel but manga. I remember that one. Now, Hollywood is jumping into the wagon with someone describing this movie as "sentient NPC in GTA". It also feels like Gate of Revelation due to multiple NPCs also understand that their world is infested with Players and we are seeing shits from MC Guy's (Ryan Reynolds: The voice of Detective Pikachu and yes, Four Wall Breaking Deadpool, lol with the MC naming Guy) perspective. So yeah, with the Edge of Tomorrow and stuff that the Hollywood is picking materials from, it is kinda nice to see they are doing a movie about the genre.
I'll watch it. But imagine how new and fresh it looks like to people who don't even know Asian webnovels exist. I kinda envy them. Like the people who were mindblown by Edge of Tomorrow. I miss that feeling.
I'm not as excited as i thought I'd be. Maybe since we are familiar with that kind of setting from all the novels we've read. Though i am curious on how they will portray the npc life of free guy in the movie and if it will be similar with the novels.
I love this trailer. I knew it was going to be good as soon as they said "Twice" on the Disney movies, and I wasn't wrong.
...I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD PUT THIS! You did not disappoint me NovelUpdates Forum! Fuck that is a mouthfull.
I read the comments and they say it's a Disney rated R movie? The only R I know is explicit content like large exposure to either extreme violence, blood, or sex. From what I've seen in this trailer, it's definitely the first two (as the last seems to be a comedy), but hey, movies today have weird rating standards.
if the heathens(General populace) haven't seen or been drown in this genre, then this is probably a good way to get em hooked in this genre, so maybe next movie from that Guy (Ryan Reynolds) will be a hollywood Isekai theme? since we already have the Re: Do type (With edge of tomorrow)
You know, i kinda don't give hoots about how shit goes, and there are still 6 months before the movie release. For all we know, the executives can just fuck with the director and tell him to convert all blood to pixels and violences as cartoon violence. But it is Ryan Reynolds we are talking and Deadpool and its sequel has made into R, so yeah. And the FL in this movie actually told Guy that he will be an eternal virgin. Ouch.
