LEGENDARY ADVENTURES
NOW IN LIVE ACTION!
I am so proud and happy to announce that hollywood has bought the rights to Legendary Adventures and promises to turn it into a beloved live action adaptation that will stun viewers everywhere! They have assured me this will be an incredibly accurate, high quality faithful adaptation.LEGENDARY ADVENTURES
NOW IN LIVE ACTION!
I have been informed that they have picked an actor for Koa, 14 year old kid from Sinnoh and lover of legendaries!:
They've assured me that the age won't be a problem. He's even got a streak of blue!
I've also been sent a finished image of Echo! How exciting!
So cool!
I am told Koa will meet Echo in the final 15 minutes of the film and team up with him. Er. Her! Disney said it's important to have female voices be represented, so Echo will be a female in this.
They also believed Koa's canon backstory wasn't appealing enough to target demographics. Instead, he will be a kid pulled from an ordinary world of earth and ends up in the wild world of thse strange monsters called pokemon! I know the original version of LA is a lot about Koa's legacy and dreams, but Disney has assured me this small alteration will be great for the story.
They have also gone ahead and told me that they will be including a romance to appeal to a more broad audience. Koa will have to choose between a new character who will be a snarky chilhood friend (him not having any friends as a kid isn't in this) and a super attractive nice girl who will also be there. (Avis will be included, but as a brief cameo). Both girls will also hate each other.
Sadly they've told me there's no space in the story for Kitto to be a major character, not enough time. Oh well! These are how movies go. However I have been informed he will have a role still, and he's been cast!
Isn't that perfect?? I am sure that the age won't be an issue either, can you just imagine him next to Taylor Lautner's Koa?
They said they won't be doing the white hair or red eyes though.
Koa will have an incredibly interesting character arc in this, they've generously given me some details about it. Koa will be insecure and nervous, doesn't like books or really want to go on a journey but his cousin makes him. Then he will learn to overcome his fears and find out the power he needed was inside him all along, and he just needs to believe in himself.
The villain of course, will be a huge focus. While I originally had plans for a fairly malevolent villain, Disney has informed me that's not realistic enough, so instead its being tweaked juuusst a bit! The villain will be pretty bad and kill a lot of people, but then he will have a special moment where he explains how his parents were killed by legendaries, and then thats why he's doing all this! Koa will realize the villain was just troubled and sad. Not a bad guy at all.
Lastly I've been informed there will be a major evolution scene early on for Hazard. Apparently, him not evolving will likely be pretty boring for audiences and they have a spider leftover from another movie. Neat!
Rascal will have 5 minutes of screentime at the very end of the movie, as the budget isn't enough to allow her to be onscreen long. Anubis will be played by a regular doberman and Scrapper will show up for a few minutes in the scene where he's caught. Oh, Flurry? She will be all over the trailers so they can sell toys but mostly won't do a ton plotwise.
Upon reflection that seems like a lot of changes but I am sure this will all be fine.
I am so happy that LA will be in LA!
I showed them my idea for a poster, and they came back with some great adjustments that will represent the final product.
