No no no. This was already done on AT and ET and quite frankly wouldn't work. The style of the games really don't lend themselves to cinematography, not to mention being too long for film. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

E2 could work. It's got the right movement. E1 is too diffuse and the plot is too simple. E3 is too repetitive. -------------------- ahhahaha i rule u droool Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

A) Please use at least some sort of grammer. B) Don't double post like that. C) A movie is a stupid idea and deserves to be shot multiple times with an RPG-7. -------------------- The critics agree!

We can and we have done several times. However, they take preparation. I can count the successful RPs in the time since I've been here on one hand.

The simplist reason I can give for an Avernum movie not working, is that, if anything, it would be a Jerry Bruckheimer film.

A movie about E3. Well, not a real great idea. First, movie developers would not like making a movie about a non-super-popular RPG that was released without shiny graphics and not distributed to Walmarts across the US. Not saying that Exile was a bad game, but you get the point. Second, Jeff Vogel might object to the notion because obviously he is not looking for huge fame and the huge expectations that come with it, not to mention the job applications.>_< Third, I believe people would want to watch a movie of more reality than fairy-tale style "poor people go out and kill badguys and become heros" story. Not to mention the rather unrealistic elements such as spells, living slimes, potions, etc. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Yeah, ben*, American moviegoers are so concerned with how realistic the movie is. Any movie containing some element that isn't found in real life would be shunned, to be sure. -------------------- I hate signatures. Posts: 277 | Registered: Tuesday, August 13 2002 07:00 |

LotR? You're kidding? If there is a movie, it should be a movie that *improves* the plot of the original concept. Not one that cuts out one half and turns the other into--- eh, no need to go into that here. While we're at it, a book based on the game would be a much better idea.

<tangentmode>HEY ARANCAYATATAR! YOU SUCK Now that that's out of the way, I really did like the Lord of the Rings movies. Now, I haven't read the books. I can't stand Tolkein's writing style, really - he may have done a lot of great things for fantasy literature and gaming, but I still hate his writing. In any case, despite it being almost nine hours worth of movie, there was still no possible way that the movie could have covered everything in the book. There was, in my opinion, absolutely nothing wrong with only using important scenes from the book to make the movie - almost all movies based on books are like this. And, uh, the edits. Okay, so yeah, Peter Jackson took some creative liberties with what happened in a few places. Given the events of the movie, it made a lot more sense for Arwen to ride out to save Frodo than for some random elf who wouldn't be seen for the rest of the movie to do it. Oh, and Helm's Deep? Well, uh, it was cool. Yeah. :P </tangentmode> [ Tuesday, August 17, 2004 17:56: Message edited by: Imban ] Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

RPGs are, by nature, focused on almost exactly the kind of thing that makes a bad book or movie. Combat is good, but not constantly. Puzzles are a bore. Wandering around? Yeah, right. If an Exile game were made into a movie, it would probably have to be an adaptation of E2. Take the first three chapters and heavily abridge the fourth and you've got a movie. It probably wouldn't be very good, but it could be. It would definitely still be a weird movie. Anyone who could make something good out of Exile without editing it so heavily that it really isn't Exile (I, Robot, anyone?) would use their talents better elsewhere. —Alorael, who happened to like the LotR movies as well. They were very different from the books in everything but plot framework, but they were still good. An Exile movie would have to do the same, only it would need to make for an even greater separation between game and movie than book and movie.

Yup, and other problems still remain. The leading characters have no background (other than being cast into Exile, hurrah) and there is an massive amount of sidekicks (shallow ones, of the speak-to-them-and-begone type). In a movie, all of these would have to be focused on. Exile 2 has an actual plot that even develops in unpredictable ways and keeps the interest high. The dramatic beginning (skip the nephilim fort, along with most other sub-quests), the dark waters, the new lands and the return. At this point everything would have been built up for a grande finale - of the type Helm's Deep - so Alorael is right, the story would have to be shortened. One crystal to be saved - splendid. Two crystals - possible but not very good. More - boring. Come to think of it, the movie could start somewhere at the front. In that way, people would get a good idea of what the Empire is, and how impossible the fight is. Dilemma - the seeking and finding of a solution - the solution put into action - harmony restored and dilemma solved. Bingo! Chekhov smiles in his grave! So, who will tip Hollywood? :P -------------------- ahhahaha i rule u droool Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

Hmm pretty goodidea. The one about the book, that is. I'm a really big fan of reading and think that the thought of a book about Avernum is pretty cool. But it would also be a very unfeaseable idea. Thats what I think atleast. ---Is my Grammer better Deamon Slayer? -------------------- life is too short to be taken seriously.hmm.but its also the longest thing a person can ever do!
