The above is the first image of the upcoming Emojimovie.

The film stars T.J. Miller as Gene, a smiling face, James Corden as Hi-5, a hand, and Ilana Glazer as the WildStyle knockoff Jailbreak, because jailbreaking was a popular thing a few years ago.

Here is my super early review of the film:

Sony stated that:

Emojimovie: Express Yourself unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.

Emojimovie: Express Yourself hits theaters August 11, 2017.
