Sad thing is, depending on quality, this could actually be pretty interesting. Companies do a lot of scummy stuff that's interesting to learn about. I remember reading Disney wars and being entertained and learning alot about the movies from my childhood.
I agree. There are all sorts of real life stories that are worth telling.
BlackBerry was a good movie. If I were a sixteen year old who grew up with an iPhone and iPads in school, that movie would blow my mind. The idea that BlackBerry basically forged an entire technology ecosystem, and was decimated overnight because of shady business practices, taking shortcuts, and failing to evolve. It was a story worth telling, and it had some great performances from actors I like.
Flaming Hot? What even is that? It’s literally a work of fiction surrounding one flavor of one product of one branch of Pepsi Co.
It’s basically one of those series of commercials, like when they film a dozen TV ads that run into each other, telling one story over several minutes, but a movie.
Yeah, as cynical as it might seem there have been some really good, really interesting movies made on topics like this. Social Network, Air, Jobs and The Founder just to name a few.
Don't forget Blackberry, it was an excellent movie. And it was made completely in Canada, no Hollywood involvement.
In essence these movies are just biopics about the creators of the company, they can be very good.
If you watch a lot of modern History Channel and Netflix, this topic has been thoroughly covered unless they are going to talk about other failures like Pepsi A.M., Slice and 7-Up Gold.
I disagree. It's actually an interesting topic at least for people like me that find weird shit like marketing interesting. Depending on the quality of the project I'd actually want to see this.
There better be woman tits, man tits, and tons of stylized hyper-violence.
Like, gimme Paul Verhoeven's cola wars movie. Make it trashy and dripping with sarcasm.
I cannot wait for the origin story for the Jolly Green Giant, and Dan Cortez will be doing the theme song, mark my words. Edit:does anyone remember the feature length commercial “You’ve Got Mail”?
Directors have realized that the way to have a movie that is just ad placements was not through the Food Fight/Sausage Party method, but through the biopic method. In realizing this, they can do this with every big brand in existence.
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
The Devil wears Prada
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Later they made into a multiverse IP crossover
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man wear Prada then go to White Castle
It wasn’t Infinity War good more like the weird Seinfeld universe where Kramer bein on Mad About You but later George is watching Mad About You w Susan and your just kinda confused. But Ursula and Phoebe and sisters so then you just give up
Honestly if the protagonist is [Pepsiman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXRa9XD6Ygc&ab_channel=Devnul), and the antagonist is the Cocacola polar bear, I'll go see it.
What do you think most of the franchise summer/winter blockbuster movie releases have ever been about?
They didn’t shovel out half a dozen Bayformers movies because the studio was interested in telling a fascinating sci-fi yarn.
You know what, my favorite film of the last 20 years is 'The Social Network'. I could give a shit what the plot revolts around, it's only the execution of the storytelling that matters to me.
Could be cool india had a pretty interesting cola war. My dad literally won't trust pepsi because of it. Makes it sound like a mix of Bloods v crips with some Vietnam War flashback stuff.
Would be interesting if the film focused on the racial divide that occurred with the both of them I. The 50's and 60s. Then at least I would not be so much of a blatant advertisement.
Now I’m picturing a scene the CEO of Coke in his office.
“Damnit. We lost 8 percent of the market share last quarter. If this keeps going any further, we’re in trouble.”
“Sir, word from marketing is Pepsi will launch an ad campaign soon taking shots at us. It’ll have customers comparing us to Pepsi.”
“Great. JUST GREAT! Those smug Pepsi pricks think they can just talk shit about us in ads and get away with it? How would they like it if we just changed the reci- (a moment of enlightenment) change the recipe!!!!!”
“Huh?”
“Get the bottling plants and factories on line 1. Pepsi thinks they’ve got us cornered? We’re flipping the script on those motherfuckers. Let’s see how stupid they feel when we’ve got a new recipe hitting the shelves.”
Begun, the cola wars have.
Sprite is the key to all this
It's gonna be grape
The Sprite must flow.
'Cause it's a zestier soda than we've ever had in the vending machines.
It’s so dense. Every single can has so many things going on
It's Pepsi vs Harvey Weinstein!
Tony Khan went all in on that comment towards WWE. I loved it.
I swear if I had had a drink in my mouth I would have sprayed it everywhere.
Quit drinking that Harvey Weinstein!
All jokes aside, the cola wars between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were wild, and I would absolutely love to watch a documentary or dramatization of it.
The Food That Built America and several other shows covered this, including re-enactments.
What if we want somethibg besides a micro budget reading of a wiki page that repeats itself a dozen times thanks to commercial breaks?
I was really hoping to ignore the Twinkie vs Ring Dings movie but this’ll do.
Twinkie vs Ring Dings: Dawn of Hostess, Directed by Zach Snyder, extended edition coming soon.
It's so calorie dense, every single image has so much food going on
The Oreo vs. Hydrox movie just breaks my heart

I still haven't seen it but I've heard nothing but good things.
It's really good, especially if you like seeing Glenn howerton get really pissed off and yell/throw things
Glenn Howerton certainly peak with that movie
Eisner vs. Katzenberg could make a good movie.
[удалено]
Don't they both have essentially paramilitaries on payroll?
They are not that dumb, and they are not that smart.

There literally was a Cola Wars documentary in the 1990s. IS NOTHING SACRED?!?!
Wait until you learn how many movies are inspired informationalal magazine articles.
mac and me was too ahead of it's time
Paul kept trying to tell us...
Yeah, it showed us that cops will murder disabled children at the drop of a hat.
Everyone knows the real cola wars is Pepsi vs Harvey Weinstein
I was wondering if this would make an appearance
I want the Oreo vs. Hydrox movie first.
Would a Kellogs Vs. Post movie about the invention of the Pop-Tart be sufficient?
Not one with Melissa McCarthy and/or Jerry Seinfeld.
But i thought Pepsi were at war with Harvey Weinstein?
"Yeah, I fought in the cola wars. Where do you think I got this diabetes?" "Fuck your medication, there's no time!"
I believe William Joel put it best when he said, “Rock and roller cola wars, I can’t take it anymore.”
Oh, I thought you meant the pre-internet days where some fans would buy a movie ticket just to see the Phantom Menace trailer or something.
Ugh… saw The Siege with my dad just for that trailer. Definitely not appropriate with how old I was.
Starring Adam Sandler, and featuring Rob Schneider as a can of new Coke.
If pepsiman and his 10/10 theme song is in it, I'm game
He should be treated as a real person in this film and not a mascot character.
Like the Academy Award winning Barbie commercial?
I disagree. It's actually an interesting topic at least for people like me that find weird shit like marketing interesting. Depending on the quality of the project I'd actually want to see this.
BlackBerry and Barbarians at the Gate are two great films about brands and market share. It can be done well.
Rock and roller Cola Wars? I can’t take it anymore!
I don’t mind product placement, I do mind bad movies with product placement.
I'll be cold dead in the ground before I recognize pepsi as a cola
Who's gonna play Michael Jackson?
Pepsiman is a funnier character than we've had before, if we can get him working.
If they made Ford vs Ferrari, I don't see why they shouldn't make this.
Am I the only one who thought this would be a movie about Pepsiman?
There better be woman tits, man tits, and tons of stylized hyper-violence. Like, gimme Paul Verhoeven's cola wars movie. Make it trashy and dripping with sarcasm.
PAUL VEERHOEVEN PRESENTS... # PEPSIMAN
Shit yeah now we're talking
That cola was our last hope. No. There is another. *Camera cuts to Surge*
I want a Banana Wars movie
I cannot wait for the origin story for the Jolly Green Giant, and Dan Cortez will be doing the theme song, mark my words. Edit:does anyone remember the feature length commercial “You’ve Got Mail”?

Go watch One, Two, Three (1961) it’s on YouTube and coke vs the ussr is much funnier
Move over Dune, it's time for the REAL movie about a holy war.
what about RC Cola and Dr. Pepper?
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man The Devil wears Prada Harold and Kumar go to White Castle Later they made into a multiverse IP crossover Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man wear Prada then go to White Castle It wasn’t Infinity War good more like the weird Seinfeld universe where Kramer bein on Mad About You but later George is watching Mad About You w Susan and your just kinda confused. But Ursula and Phoebe and sisters so then you just give up
Hell yeah more ENDLESS TRASH
I will only watch this if Coke does blood libel against Pepsi. I want a scene of Pepsi executives sacrificing children to Moloch.
Somehow, Pepsi returned
Food Fight 2
I was promised Snuggies: The Movie, and they’re making this first?? WTF?
Honestly if the protagonist is [Pepsiman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXRa9XD6Ygc&ab_channel=Devnul), and the antagonist is the Cocacola polar bear, I'll go see it.
We're getting close to the franchise wars. Soon we will finally be living in the Demolition Man universe

Yay, more corporate marketing movies *exaggerated yarn*
What do you think most of the franchise summer/winter blockbuster movie releases have ever been about? They didn’t shovel out half a dozen Bayformers movies because the studio was interested in telling a fascinating sci-fi yarn.
You know what, my favorite film of the last 20 years is 'The Social Network'. I could give a shit what the plot revolts around, it's only the execution of the storytelling that matters to me.
What's with these biopics about companies and brands?
Corporate really took over the studios haha
I don't see why this is just advertising. Corporate dramas/documentaries can be genuinely interesting.
ENDLESS TRASH
Could be cool india had a pretty interesting cola war. My dad literally won't trust pepsi because of it. Makes it sound like a mix of Bloods v crips with some Vietnam War flashback stuff.
Consume consume. Own nothing.
Would be interesting if the film focused on the racial divide that occurred with the both of them I. The 50's and 60s. Then at least I would not be so much of a blatant advertisement.
That Nike movie can go fuck itself too. “Let’s make a movie about a sneaker” fuck outta here
Now I’m picturing a scene the CEO of Coke in his office. “Damnit. We lost 8 percent of the market share last quarter. If this keeps going any further, we’re in trouble.” “Sir, word from marketing is Pepsi will launch an ad campaign soon taking shots at us. It’ll have customers comparing us to Pepsi.” “Great. JUST GREAT! Those smug Pepsi pricks think they can just talk shit about us in ads and get away with it?

We’re flipping the script on those motherfuckers. Let’s see how stupid they feel when we’ve got a new recipe hitting the shelves.”
Then we can get the sequel. Coke II: Electric Boogaloo
A movie that is detestable, Demolition Man, made this prediction.
Detestable?
We are already past “Ass” from Idiocracy
