Figured this was cool to post in gaming. If not mods pls move

Ellen Page and Paris Berelc have boarded gaming comedy “1UP,” with Kyle Newman directing in what could be the first feature film for BuzzFeed Studios.

Berelc will portray a gamer who quits her college esports team due to sexism from her male counterparts. To keep her scholarship, she’s forced to assemble an all-female team and enlists the help of a coach — portrayed by Page — who has a gaming scandal in her past.

The script is written by Julia Yorks. BuzzFeed’s Richard Alan Reid is producing along with Michael Philip and Jason Moring. Production is expected to begin in Toronto in November.

I saw this earlier. What a disaster. The director has also been accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife ironically enough.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Hey that Paris chick is pretty doable. Wait a minute...

Oh ok, it got dicey for a minute there but I'm clear.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!!

 

[Elcid]

Fuck Ellen Page looks worse by the day. No thanks, I don't watch movies with unattractive women, like what's the point amirite?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[GreyHorace]

I don't get it. Who the hell is going to be the audience of this thing?

Not gamers. Why would they watch something that insults and stereotypes them?

The woke crowd? They don't give a shit about videogames despite their constant cries of 'representation' and Gamergate.

Buzzfeed should just stick to making stuff like WorthIt on Youtube:

The plot.

 

[Elcid]

The plot.

That's stupid, you're ranting nonsense at this hour. Go to sleep.

 

[timmyp53]

Its BuzzFeed studios. Y'all expecting an Oscar nominated film?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

kay

 

[Valued Gamer]

Imagine the shit show this will be.

 

[Chiggs]

Are they going to scissor?

 

[brap]

Are they going to scissor?

Do you really want to see that?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Do you really want to see that?

I'd take that over seeing a cock!

 

[Chiggs]

Do you really want to see that?

I think it actually might be more hilarious and awful than the Roger Moore/Grace Jones sex scene from A View to a Kill.

So the answer is both yes and no.

 

[brap]

I'd take that over seeing a cock!

Is it a nice cock? I'd rather see that over Ellen's sloppy gray beef and swiss.

 

[Bullet Club]

Treena Lahey is starting to look a lot like Mr. Lahey.

 

[Elcid]

I'd take that over seeing a cock!

I don't know man, I have a pretty cock. You sure about your choice?

 

[TheMay30thMan]

I bet Sarkeesian is a consultant for the writing team.

 

[diffusionx]

Not a single word of this thread title is appealing

 

[Truespeed]

Looking forward to it. Her Connect the Dots performance was spellbinding.

 

[Tranquil]

Fuck Ellen Page looks worse by the day. No thanks, I don't watch movies with unattractive women, like what's the point amirite?

While I almost agree with you, movies are good without that. Saving Private Ryan was 100% all dudes, and a classic.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

Pass.

Its BuzzFeed studios. Y'all expecting an Oscar nominated film?

The fact they were given the greenlight to begin with is worrisome in and of itself.

 

[timmyp53]

Pass.

I don't think BuzzFeed studios is worried that they acquired a big name like Ellen page for a project. Id think it's the opposite.

Its buzzfeed studios.

Maybe you mean it's worrying for her career.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Nothing says comedy like all those words in the thread title

Why this type of post are even tolerated ? So we can ban someone says the PS5 is 9TF, but such horrible post is ok ?
You're lost people, seriously...

Is he wrong?

 

[BaneIsPain]

esport woke babyy

 

[bender]

Is he wrong?

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Well, theREEEEEEEE's a market for this shit. Stupid films made by stupid people for a stupid audience is a thing, you know.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Woke comedy is the contemporary equivelant of 80's/90's fundamentalist Christian rock.

DC Talk was fun.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Every time i see Ellen Page it looks like she's had another peak in to the Arc of the Covenant. Like her face looks like an ice-cream sandwich that's been left in the sun

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Goodness, when I saw the title I snickered to myself, thinking cynically "Will this so-called comedy be about..."

Berelc will portray a gamer who quits her college esports team due to sexism from her male counterparts.

 

[GymWolf]

Is there a scene where they play pong on ellen page's forehead?!

 

[Yoboman]

Hasn't Buzzfeed gone out of business yet?

Also not to pile on but female esports teams have historically been awful, so this should be funny

 

[karasu]

This place has become weird. It's like being surrounded by the Legion of Doom.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Looking forward to it. Her Connect the Dots performance was spellbinding.

Jussie's performance ended up taking home the Oscar though.

[sol_bad]

ERA actually seem to be reeeeing over this because it's disrespectful to someone in real life. I only read the first 20 posts though, whatevs.

 

[Danteyke223]

ResetEra is literally REEEing over this movie announcement .... oh god the fucking cope of those people.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

What if he said Ellen Page is only 8TF?

 

[teezzy]

I'd French kiss Ellen page if she was into it

 

[Birdo]

 

[Hulk_Smash]

While I almost agree with you, movies are good without that. Saving Private Ryan was 100% all dudes, and a classic.

So was Master and Commander (pretty much) .

 

[borborygmus]

The one on the right

 

[and 3 others]

I bet Sarkeesian is a consultant for the writing team.

Ineeda SoftSqueezeAgain? She still around?

 

[Northeastmonk]

I’m surprised this wasn’t a Lifetime made for TV movie already.
