One of the most aggressive has been Burger King Holdings. The chain has focused over the last year on lifting the profile of its "king" mascot, a mute character best known for his creepy smile. The burger baron recently starred in a series of video games, and the company says it has lined up a studio and distributor for a feature film.
Russ Klein, Burger King's president of global marketing strategy, won't reveal the studio's identity or the likely plot. But he says the movie could appear as early as the end of this year, with the film aimed at "creating a back story for the king."

Guess Hollywood has finally ran out of ideas.

[Mynd Hed]

Am I the only person in the world who LIKES the Burger King? Not that I think he could support a movie (even an intentionally bad one) or anything, nor am I willing to shell out for his crappy games, but I think the mascot himself is cool. He's an El Freako in tights and a creepy mask who distributes hamburgers to those in need... of hamburgers. What could be better than that?

[Anyone00]

It's official Burger King:

He is creepy and I've been thinking since he first appeared that he'd be perfect for the slasher in a horror film. Of course, BK would never do that, but that'd be my move.

[SirLemming]

I have no idea what to think of this. It sounds stupid, but... it's The King.


Am I the only person in the world who LIKES the Burger King?
Of course not. Have you seen the internet?

[Mynd Hed]

Of course not. Have you seen the internet?

Hmm. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places; everywhere I go he gets nothing but hate.

...Although I guess in all seriousness that I can't really blame folks, what with the crappy Xbox games that outsell actual good games and all.

[JohnCrichton]

I think the creepy BK mascot is awesome, but this is going too far...

[Slipperman]

I gotta agree with DarkAngel, the Burger King would fit pretty well in a horror movie, what with the creepy plastic mask and the sneaking around people's bedrooms and all.

Ah well, we shouldn't worry too much, at least not until we see "Boston Rob Mariano: The Movie" going out to theaters...:ack:

Burger King......movie? That's it, I've officially lost all hope that Hollywood is run by actual human beings.

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew the secret behind what Whoppers are really made out of.

A horror movie... That actually has a lot of potential. Although I guess maybe full-on horror would be too obvious. Maybe more of a psychological thriller.

For what it's worth, I'd rather see this than Little Man 2 or something. I think Hollywood could stand a few more movies with ridiculous premises that don't constantly remind you how ridiculous the premise is, and this could be that movie. For instance, my sister and I both think an action movie based on the video game Burger Time would be awesome. Just imagine Brendan Fraser in a chef's hat shooting salt & pepper at giant CGI hot dogs.

Awesome!

You mean the Xbox games that cost five bucks each? Of course they outsell other games, they're freakin' five bucks each.

[clucky]

Look at the bright side, now we might get more video games.

[langden alger]

wow, backstory huh?...

years ago a man was cursed by an evil witch and forced to live as a mute with a large plastic king head?

an experiment in the secret burger king labs went horribly wrong bringing to life the buger king mascot statue?

as fortold by the proficies, the ancient god king of bugers has returned to earth to wreak havok?

average joe six-pack down on his luck gets offered the deal of a life time by the burger king corporation:stay the burger king mascot for years and stalk people in they're own beds to promote they're food and get payed a lifetime of burgers and free room and board??

can't wait to see how they pull this one off..

and yet the pillsbury doughboy once again gets put on the backburner-no pun intended...

[Temple Fugate]

Now this is the kind of commercial that deserves a movie.

Probably won't be any good, but...it's The King, dude. The King. Give him a chance.

[mojokingbee1]

Well, at least it's not "Crazy Frog: The Movie".

[The Myst]

The King is my hero. I can't wait.

[tucsoncoyote]

I demand this guy gets a movie as well!

After all if 'The King' Can get a movie, why not this guy?


and while we're at it:

He needs a Sitcom as well...
I mean if the Geico Cavemen get a sitcom, Why not this guy?

1. Don't want McDonald's to be sued by Sid and Marty Krofft again;
2. Three words: Mac and Me.

They could do a horror film parody. McDonalds employees wind up missing, and the King is the only one at the scene :).

'Don't you watch Horror Movies? The Wendy's employees are always the last to go!'

[RAINMAN]

So this is what happend when something gets more populare then it really deserve to be? This is nuts.

[SirLemming]

The King doesn't deserve to be popular? That hurts, man. That hurts.

[Juu-kuchi]

Although I am rather skeptical about the potential quality of a movie dealing with the Burger King, I do have one caveat for them to follow:

The King should NEVER speak. I want the 90+ minutes or so of the movie to have a mute protagonist, because the King is at his best when he doesn't speak.

[ShadowGUN]

You know what would make this movie awesome: Samuel L. Jackson.

"That it. I had it with this mot******** King in this mot******* restaurant"

:lol:

[SirLemming]

No.

Whoever says there is no absolute truth in the universe should read this post.

A movie involving The King can either be the greatest movie ever made or the worst. There is no in-between option when it comes to someone as godly as him.

I agree with the notion that he shouldn't speak at all in the film. Anyone who watches should be able to interpret what he says through his motions.

[Undrave]

1. Don't want McDonald's to be sued by Sid and Marty Krofft again;
2. Three words: Mac and Me.

Mac and Me was a coke commercial :p

And if you read the Adventures of Dr. McNinja you know Ronald's evil. Also he's not just an evil clown...he's an evil MIME!!!

to Quote myself from another forum:


It'S the entertainement of the future! Forget product placement! Make a show or movie out of your mascot DIRECTLY!!

Sweet profitability Batman!! It's like toy-commercial cartoons, but FOR GROWN UPS! WOW!

:D:p

Would Jack even have enough support? Don't Jack in the Box restaurants only reside west of the Mississippi River?

Is that true? They're one of the biggest things around here in Texas, I never realized they weren't nationwide.

[Duke]

I've never seen one in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, virginia, and of course Maryland. The only time I've ever seen a JitB was when I went out to California.

According to Jack in the Box's website, here's where there are Jack in the Box restaurants:

Well then if Jack was running for President for the United States, he would be able to get a lion's share of the Electoral College. So then Why not do a Movie where Jack (in the Box) runs for President.. and call it... Citizen Jack...

Unfortunatley, we can't bring him back from the dead :(. Trivia, who was the first even creepier Ronald McDonald?

[Zorak Masaki]

Cant they just put the king in that upcoming "food fight" commercia,,er i mean animated film and leave it at that?

[Undrave]

They could always do a biopic.

[Elven Moon]

But... he doesn't even talk! He just stands around, all stalker-like, handing people burgers. It's not as though I hate him, but I don't know how they could go at least an hour with him, and make it good!

Okay that is one CRAPPY clown oO

The king looks more fun talking XD

So basically the current King is like if in the future someone started going around with a mask of the current Ronal McDonal oO

I just got the mental image of the current Burger King brutally killing and skinning Ronald McDonald then wearing his skin like in Silence of the Lambs and I just can't stop giggling :anime:
