Is This Parody? Tom Holland, Chris Pratt Allegedly Lined Up for Jak & Daxter Movie | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

No, that’s not an Onion headline! The word doing the rounds on social media is that Hollywood superstars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt have been targeted to star in a Jak & Daxter movie. According to a renowned Marvel tipster, Holland will play Jak and Pratt will play his boisterous weasel-like side-kick Daxter – although it feels like it should be the other way around to us!

Obviously, nothing is confirmed here, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this turned out to be an elaborate hoax – or, at best, crossed wires. We know Sony has been incredibly eager to adapt its franchises to film and television, however, and it seems no series is out of bounds – take the recent Twisted Metal show as an example.

Let’s just entertain the idea that this is legitimate for a few minutes: how do you feel about it? Do you think a Holland and Pratt double-act could do justice to Jak & Daxter, and is this even a franchise that deserves a movie to begin with? We like the PS2-era Naughty Dog platformers, but personally we’ve always felt they’re best left to history – this isn’t going to be a Super Mario-esque Box Office banger, is it?

I bet it's real but will never go anywhere and will be stuck in development hell for years.

pretty sure it is a joke. The pair already worked as brothers on the commercial and critical flop Onward. Also Ratchet and Clank was a disaster as a movie. I am pretty sure Sony won't do it.

I will believe it literally the day it's in theaters/vod, is an actual finished thing you can pay to see, and not a second sooner.

The voice of Mario in a PS movie? Bring it!
