This may be hard to believe, but there is actually a movie coming out based on emojis.
Sony Pictures announced it yesterday with this tweet:

The legendary actor, Patrick Stewart, will be playing the character “Poop,” which is based off the poo emoji. Stewart is best known for being in the Star Trek and the X-Men movies.
The plot will follow an emoji who goes on an adventure in a teenager’s phone.
From IMDB, the storyline will be:
“The Emoji Movie 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, 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 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. 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.”

The Emoji Movie is definitely a sign of end times, but I'm not gonna pretend I don't want to see a poop emoji voiced by Patrick Stewart.
