Dude's a hack. Detective Pikachu may not be good, but it will likely be better than his nonsense.

opinions gonna opinion
was certainly more hyped than the Pikachu Minion movie
Eh, I'm not huge on the guy either but at least it would have probably been closer to what we think of as a traditional Pokemon story of a young kid trying to make his way up the League ladder and catch a bunch of Pokemon. Detective Pikachu is this weird spin-off thing that I have no investment in.
Oh. Yeah. Hilarious. Haha.

In his younger days he envisioned a Mario film that featured Wario gunning down Daisy with an Uzi.
Landis would not have made a traditional Pokémon story. He's the type that thinks it needs a weird, edgy reimagining.

Good. The only way they could do worse than Landis is if they got Damon Lindelof.
"let's get this guy back in to make that hilarious pitch we'll never make!"
Anyone wanna fill in the story here? I wasn't aware of Max Landis talking about/being attached to anything Pokémon at all before now, so all I know is that apparently he's not.

Max Landis likes to write fanfiction about stuff he likes. He then tries to pitch it (he did the same with Fantastic Four). The studios never seem to agree with him that his bold adaptation is the next big thing.
his Ghostubers 3 was great
Danny Devito as Graveler? Not the same.opinions gonna opinion

I know Pokémon Go is huge but Detective Pikachu? You fucking shitting me? I've heard of some dumb ideas but this with Max Landis? Yeah that sounds like a terrible combination.
Maybe I'm just a little more sympathetic since I'm a 'screenwriter' too, but I feel for him. It really sucks being excited and passionate about a project, getting right on the cusp of a greenlight and then some wrecking ball demolishes it all. It's happened to me a couple of times (not on the scale of this, per say) and I'm only 22, so now I'm working on independent things for film festivals that will hopefully see some results in the next year or two.
I've never been the biggest fan of his, but he definitely has chops. He just gets a little too loud, a little too "edge-lord" and a little too outspoken about things and generally, that doesn't win you much in an industry that thrives on secrecy and silence. Hopefully he gets another Chronicle soon (I mean a hit. Chronicle was such a bizzare occurrence, it will almost assuredly never strike twice) because his repuatation is dipping hard and the guy is being looked at as film poison now.
How many fucking "mind-blowing" pitches has Max Landis made thus far?
