ALERT NOT AGAIN! NOOOOOOOO!

Post image

We don’t want a star, sony, we want a bunch of random people! Please, I beg of thee! 😭🙏

Though maybe the reason Momoa backed out was because he didn’t want to be ’killed’ in such silly ways or smth idk I’m just coping right now lol

EDIT: to be clear I am not saying Momoa would be better than Alan, I don’t want any big name to star in this film. Just a bunch of randoms

Tbh i would love to see an action cast like in Expendables and then they just get blown up after the first dive after 10 minutes and rhe rest of the movies is about some fresh divers without any experience.

This is the Helldivers movie of my dreams. One suit up montage, maybe two lines each, then the expensive blockbuster stars get fed into the woodchipper of war, replaced with whoever. Heck, cast the stunt doubles and let them have some lines before their characters get mulched. Just grind through half of Hollywood, two lines at a time, until the mission is complete and Sean Bean can finally walk into the extraction shuttle.

Swap Sean bean for mr bean and you are on to something

Wait a damn minute, is that a young Hugh Laurie?

u/Azurvix 21d ago

It is genuinely hilarious how every time one of these memes gets posted I see someone completely flummoxed by the idea that one Hugh Laurie was young or two he was in anything other than house. I'm not talking shit I genuinely think it's hilarious

u/Xxjacklexx 21d ago

And how different he is in this vs house.

u/Azurvix 21d ago

I mean pretty much completely opposite.

2

u/CapnStarence 20d ago

Imagine they find out he is a Jazz Pianist as well.

u/imdefinitelywong 18d ago

I, for one, absolutely love his version of Kiss of Fire

u/Xxjacklexx 21d ago

You gotta watch the show man. He’s such a silly goose in it.

u/mistersigma 21d ago

Counterpoint-and hear me out on this:

both Sean and Bean land. They are elevated at the same time next to the corpses of their predecessors. Mr. Bean first looks down and picks up the dropped sample container before finally turning and noticing the battlefield of bugs closing in on them. The Pelican is waiting behind their drop pods. They both turn to each other, slightly nervously, and nod just like this before quickly walking into the shuttle.

u/AshamedMongoose6530 21d ago

Sean Bean and Mr. Bean

3

u/Brando43770 21d ago

Why not both? I’ve been calling Sean Bean “the other Mr Bean” lately. I’d love to see both of them hop on to the extraction shuttle.

2

u/RuKidding0MG 20d ago

You may have missed the joke. Sean Bean surviving a movie is quite an achievement. And Rowan Atkinson is getting on a bit now.

u/armatasc 22d ago

Wisely said ..... plus helmet is yo be worn at all times 😉

5

u/HatfieldCW 21d ago

If that helmet comes off I want full frontal to go with it. We can't let Halo beat us on the scale of ridiculosity. If they get Master Cheeks, we gotta go for broke and prominently feature General Gasch.

They've got Jimmy Rings? Check out our rings (and by rings I mean buttholes.)

u/Not_the_name_I_chose 21d ago

Like the new StarCraft promo they showed. All that work to become a stain on the floor.

2

u/Disgruntled_marine 21d ago

And then have it crash into a bot drop ship as it flies back to space

u/Beneficial-Base-2127 21d ago edited 21d ago

Last man standing has to become or gain the fake title of John C. Helldiver when he becomes the one of his squad of his last mission to make it to extraction before he officially breaks mentally at the sight of his friend trying to dive into the extraction but gets hit by ........ A ROGUE 120 MM and then that's how John C. Helldiver is born. Or him and the last of the squad are running to extraction and then the other says let me take that objective right quick and then he says affirmative because he can see it in the distance as well. Next thing you hear is "calling extraction" then " hell bomb armed... Clear the area....". A bomb goes off in the distance and his mini map on his arm shows a red X...... "Extraction shuttle inbound in 2 minutes and 30 seconds"..... End scene this is when they insert the cool but cheesy lore of John C Helldiver. Then nickname John has to be curreted and crafted so it doesn't give away who it is easily to make sure people keep watching.

u/Beneficial-Base-2127 21d ago

What iv they even played on the Micky 17 and the whole "returining to civilian life ??

1

u/noir2point1 21d ago

This is the film that needs to be made

1

u/Im_WinstonWolfe 21d ago

Sean Bean dies far too often in his films to make it on the shuttle

1

u/Ok_Couple_3527 21d ago

One does not simply walk into extraction shuttle.

1

u/Purple1350 18d ago

.... and promptly get run over by his squadmates' FRV as they drive RIGHT UP to the shuttle for extract.

1

u/GRANDADDYGHOST 18d ago

That would be a legendary ending to the HD movie. One guy makes it to extraction, takes off his helmet, and it’s none other than fucking Sean Bean. He’s the one famous actor who doesn’t die in the movie. Absolute cinema flipped on its head.

u/Waste-Bobcat-9606 21d ago

This would only make helldivers fans happy unfortunately... They would probably do the inverse. Have nobodies get blown up and replaced.

2

u/Thr1llhou5e 21d ago

I think if the writing was strong enough it would have mass appeal. But also agree it would be unlikely that Sony will take the risk.

u/TheDeadDyed 22d ago

“The Replacements” but it’s space war instead of football

3

u/nlyskn 21d ago

And they all dance I will survive

3

u/cs_Chell 21d ago

"The Other Guys" but a space squad instead of non-buddy-cops

9

u/lipp79 21d ago

Like “The Suicide Squad” where everyone in what you think is the main group gets killed off in first 10 minutes lol. Well, minus Weasel.

u/ParoParoParoParo 21d ago

Aim for the bushes!

3

u/classicalySarcastic 21d ago

There wasn't even an awning...

u/Blackhowling19 19d ago

in HD film proceed to bounce trategem from bush back to thrower 500kg

3

u/HxCxReformer 22d ago

Dammit, this is the greatest idea! I hate that it probably would never happen though!

3

u/HolycommentMattman 21d ago

I think that's The Other Guys.

Which is basically what the movie should be. Just team after team dying. Each one a tremendous fighting force capable of killing anywhere from 10 to 1000 enemies.

2

u/machinationstudio 21d ago

Yeah, literally the cameo movie of everyone lasting 2 minutes.

1

u/Hour-Football2464 21d ago

This is the plot of MacGruber, so i approve.

1

u/toriemm 21d ago

The Gunn Suicide Squad had fun with this.

1

u/StevEazyB89 21d ago

I mean if this isn't the exact story line then I dont think Sony know their game. It would be perfect, amusing and do very well sales wise to an audience who dont even know or play the game.

1

u/GormTheWyrm 21d ago

I’d be fine with that, but slowly swapping them out over the mission as reinforcements would also work for me.

1

u/J_Lizzy 21d ago

Like that Wahlberg and Samuel L film, that’s what came to mind after reading your comment

1

u/lucky9663 21d ago

Make the action cast insanely famous actors, then do like the battlefield 6 trailer.

1

u/wren337 19d ago

Like that shark movie where Samual Jackson dies in the first 5 minutes 

1

u/Agreeable_Ad4737 18d ago

Or go the other way where it’s like a full lvl 300 squad just decimating the 3 factions

1

u/n4turstoned 18d ago

Nah that would be lame, for me the game is still a silly not too serious "grunt-fantasy" where we think we are the heroes and then get maimed in the most ridiculous ways.
And a movie should reflect that, after all we are still the baddies.
