The Detective Pikachu Movie Finds A New Cast Member In Singer Rita Ora

Oh god, i feel like this is gonna become another emoji movie, i pray not but with this info im not sure if i can hope for the best.

She'll voice a Pokemon called Aortair. Nah, she's pretty, she'd be wasted on an animated character.

It's not going to be good is it?

@NF6429 What does the casting of this have to do with anything? In your head, you probably think Rita Ora's casting means this film is going to be garbage, because she's not a 'real' actress, or because Fast & Furious/Fifty Shades of Grey are not 'proper' movies.

This has pretty much zero to do with anything though, you compare it to the Emoji Movie which has Patrick Stewart in it for god's sake! We don't even know what her role is.

Detective Pikachu will live and die by its writing, not the actors.

I would say this looks like a straight to DVD film but I don't think they'll be making DVD's when this comes out.

Wait, WHAT ?!
Rita Ora ?
The Host for America's Next Top Model cycle 23 who couldn't embodies Tyra Bank's persona ?

And just when I thought that I couldn't possibly want to see this abomination any less than I do now...

I swear, absolutely nothing about this movie sounds even remotely appealing. This crap is aimed at casual Hollywood goers and certainly not to film and/or Pokémon lovers.

Nothing wrong with their choice here, I can see what they were going for in selecting her for the part. Even though I'm a little worried that this movie will be a flop, I'm still looking forward to it since at the very least this movie should turn into a fun watch.

Shame Danny DiVito isn't Pikachu still

I hope she plays a failed Danny DeVito impersonator hoping for a second chance.

Ew.

I was on set Sunday for the Detective Pikachu filming.

I diskile all the Statlers and Waldorfs* of this world that have a miserable, negative opinion over a product that hasn't even being made yet.

"STATLER: Boo!
WALDORF: Boooo!
S: That was the worst thing I’ve ever heard!
W: It was terrible!
S: Horrendous!
W: Well it wasn’t that bad.
S: Oh, yeah?
W: Well, there were parts of it I liked!
S: Well, I liked alot of it.
W: Yeah, it was GOOD actually.
S: It was great!
W: It was wonderful!
S: Yeah, bravo!
W: More!
S: More!
W: More!
S: More!"

To be honest, I really like the visual look of the game so I imagine a movie of the game could actually be really cool.

Calling it now. She’ll voice Jigglypuff...

No information about this movie yet and people are already whining about this. What a time to be alive.

@tjhiphop This movies actors do matter, like any other movie, and even then im more concerned about the director considering he made a sharks tale, which is one of the worst films of all time. Also Rita Ora is a real actress, who i think has potential, just the roles shes done in movies weren't executed to well, maybe she'll do well, who knows. Also the writing is being co-done by the director, who I've already said why i don't think he will do well on this. maybe Nicole Pearl-man will save the movies writing though, she did do Guardians of the Galaxy after all.

Gonna gather her role will have something to do with her singing.

The plot thickens....Still keeping an eye on this movie since we know almost nothing about it.

Can we get Nintendo Karen in this please.

@Cosats I love those muppets.

@MrGawain They still produce VCD, so DVD is a definite yes.

I love Monsters vs Aliens...

Sounds good, the music will be good, and the movie kinda looks interesting now considering I wasn't a big fan when it was announced.

Jesus the people are negative here.

Lovely Rita. Movie isn't my cup of tea but i hope its succesful. Only love for Pikachu.
