This is the first image from Sony's upcoming Emojimovie

As the above image shows, Sony’s The Emoji Movie is actually real, and not an April Fools' joke that has refused to die. The newly renamed — to the somehow even worse — Emojimovie: Express Yourself will tell the story of Gene, an emoji who breaks the codified existence of the Emoji-verse by being "born without a filter," and is capable of multiple facial expressions. Sounds familiar. Along with the title change, Sony released a promotional image for the film that depicts Gene (T.J. Miller) alongside his friends, the beanie-wearing Jailbreak (voiced by Ilana Glazer) and literal face-palm Hi–5 (James Corden, appropriately) running, presumably, through the film’s setting of Textopolis.
