Also, they have no script and no director. I doubt we are going to see this for a while.
IMHO, it's probably for the best. Duke Nukem Forever was a highly reviled game. Gearbox did the remastering of Duke 3D, and I think that's about the best we can hope for now. A new Duke game is probably considered a big risk right now.Damn. It would be the last of the great 90's PC FPS shooters they could do, especially after Doom and Wolfenstien.
i do wonder how you do duke nukem in 2018 without offending many people lol
Are you saying he should be portrayed like Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man?Make him self-aware. He shouldn't be portrayed as a full-on parody like Austin Powers, instead he could fully understand that time has passed him by. Or maybe they could make the female lead some staunch feminist that thinks Duke is no different than the mutant pigs he fights, or authority characters could particularly dislike working with him due to his crass personality, yet are forced to do so since they know him to be their best asset against the alien invaders. Almost like a story about the lesser evil if you will. I don't need to see him go to "Babeland" or saying he's God's gift to women, but don't change the character too much to where he's unrecognizable, just show the audience that he certainly knows there's no place for someone like him today.
And whatever they do, they better not make a PG-13 Duke Nukem film.

Like Johnny Bravo.
What about if they basically made it into the video game version of Deadpool? Sort of like a self-parody almost. I mean most of the Duke Nukem games were far from serious, Last of Us-style dramas. Duke is basically a big meathead.I just finished sharknado 3 and I would love to see something similar in tone to that. Completely embracing its silliness and fun and over the top action
Yeah, like Chris Evans who also played both the apple pie type as well as cocky smartass convincingly as Cap and JS.Something like Deadpool or Machete is what this should be..A self-aware cheeseball B-movie. It's made for Cena and perfectly fits what he's best at. The funny thing is people see him as this Mom and apple pie type but he's always been better at playing the cocky smartass like his 2003-2004 gimmick in WWE.
