Posted on by

The world of Pokémon comes to life! Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is the first live-action film base on the Pokémon franchise. Beingreleased May 10, 2019, the Warner Bros. Pictures film stars Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Detective Pikachu, with Ken Watanabe, Justice Smith, and Kathryn Newton in live-action roles and directed by Rob Letterman and written by Nicole Perlman.

We also now know what the film is about!

The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world— they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu also stars Justice Smith as Tim; Kathryn Newton as Lucy, a junior reporter following her first big story; and Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe  as Lt. Yoshida.

Directed by Rob Letterman, the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu creative filmmaking team includes two-time Oscar nominated director of photography John Mathieson, production designer Nigel Phelps and Oscar-winning editor Mark Sanger. Visual effects are by Moving Picture Company and Framestore.

Secret Origin The Story of DC ComicsOn November 9th, Warner Bros. Pictures releases Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics, a documentary written and directed by Mac Carter and narrated by Ryan Reynolds.  The documentary explores the 75 years of DC comics history.

It’ll be interesting if this will be a full view of the companies history, warts and all.  There’s some great books out there that covers the early years of the comic book industry and many speculate that Harry Donenfeld, one of the key figures in DC’s history was involved in bootlegging liquor.  There’s also been numerous copyright fights over the years and ongoing legal battles with many of their iconic character’s creators.

The DVD  will be distributed by Warner Home Video and have a SRP of $24.98 and will also be available On Demand and for Download.
