I see your point but who says that live action with CGI is necessarily the end of special effects? For one thing they could make the whole movie in photoreal CGI which is still futuristic when it comes to large casts of human characters. Or they could make it with animatronic characters which may be be the new direction that special effects go in after everything's been done already in CGI and they need some direction to develop in. The problem isn’t the cgi. The problem is that the story is just not that interesting. It worked in The Absent Minded Professor cause it was something new. It was a story never done before. Flubber didn’t do anything new with the story if I remember correctly. There’s just not much you can really do with the Flubber story. If you were to remake it today there’s still not much you can really do with it. Good point. I've seen both versions a while back. I think that it could work if they took a risk and changed the game of basketball in the movie by having different unique courts. The home court could be skewed so that the hoop is higher on one side of the court. The home team could have the lower hoop in the first half but still be behind in points. Then the professor could somehow get the players out of the locker room, put the flubber on their shoes and then they could come back strong in the second half. I realize this is a bit silly of a way to make the movie good, but it's a silly concept for a movie anyways so it just might work. |
