Taika Waititi Is Set to Destroy Another IP - Time Bandits

The people in Hollywood can't seem to touch anything without destroying it. ‘Time Bandits’ Creator Terry Gilliam Reportedly Extremely Unhappy With Taika Waititi’s Upcoming Apple TV Adaptation: “His Disdain For The Entire Project Was Quite Obvious”

According to a new whisper, renowned comedian and entertainer Terry Gilliam is not happy with Taikia Waititi’s upcoming Apple TV adaptation of his 1981 cinematic fantasy film Time Bandits.

Terry Gilliam, of the Monty Python comedy troupe, was supposed to be on the set of the new Time Bandits show for two weeks. He stayed three days and left in disgust.

Produced and directed by Gilliam and featuring a script co-written by himself and fellow Monty Python comedy troupe member Sir Michael Palin, Time Bandits follows the story of Kevin, a young history buff who ends up falling in with a group of six thieves who, with the assistance of a special map, sail throughout the time stream stealing various treasures from the past.

Which sort of describes what Hollywood has been doing the past few years with everything from The Mighty Thor at the movies to She Hulk and Scooby Do on TV. Except in Terry Gilliam's movie the protagonists didn't crap all over the treasures from the past.

The so-called creative people in Hollywood are proving, time and again, that they actually have no creativity to speak of.

I found this because Gary from Nerdrotic was on the Sporking News Podcast
