Blizzard: We'd Probably Agree to Do a StarCraft Movie if James Cameron Was Invol

[beayn]

Starcraft Movie by James Cameron = 2 hours of love story 1 hour of action, for a total of 3 hours of good movie watching that could have been 2 hours.

I wish I could thumb you down a million times for criticizing my lady's physique.

[citation][nom]jeverson[/nom]I think Joss Whedon would make a better fit for this film. I think his more realistic approach (see Fire Fly) would fit very nicely with the way the StarCraft stories are told. Especially when I remember the way the characters in the cut scenes interact with one another. Blizzard only picked Cameron for the marketing clout. Which is all Blizzard has become, a big useless marketing machine. I have almost no respect for game developers anymore. They have gotten as bad if not worse as the music and movie industries. Spend a lot of money producing crap, hyping the hell out of it, then charging out the * for it. Let the flame wars begin...[/citation]

I agree, Joss Whedon would be perfect. The campaign with country music and a revolver in hand in an old wooden saloon really reminded me of Firefly. (Cowboys in space) He would be perfect for this movie.

Heheh, Starcraft: Dances with Zerg. Oh my XD

I agree sir...no more bull, just release the puppy already

quentin tarantino hheaheah would be hell of a fight there, zerg guts splashing everywhere

 

[StarFyreXXX]

I find more inspiration from Warhammer 40K for starcraft actually. pretty much exact copy Zerg = tyranids Protoss = Eldar Terrans = weaker version of Space Marines

So I am assuming there will be Void Rays in the next Avatar

James Francis Cameron is a great choice. I've pretty much loved all his movies. The first terminator was and is still my favorite. Go Clan Cameron make Scottish proud.

I think the James Cameron would do a better job than most in the film industry, but I am much more excited about seeing a film made by Valve. By gamers and for gamers will yield results that may not top the charts, or make as much money, but it will be legendary.

James Cameron is a stamp, put that on any movie and it will be successful, not matter how big a pile of crap that movie happens to be.

How long do you think it would take them to make this?

 

[tommysch]

Avatar was crap... Plz dont butcher the Starcraft franchise.

 

[Travis Beane]

I'll be honest. Blizzards 2 minute cinematics are better than most of the full length movies out there.
But if done, get a real director, and make it 7.5 hours (2.5 hours each, in a trilogy).

That, my good sir, is something I want. Have Quentin Tarantino as a co-director whenever you need some dark humour or blood.

James Cameron would ruin it if he was in charge. The guy is only interested in turning a buck.

Cause you've seen real ghosts to verify this? *boggle*

To me, it would be more important to have a good script/story/plot. A lot of movies based on video games are so lacking in story even if the source material had a pretty good story in place. (Any one remember the Wing Commander games? What about the movie?... nuff said)

Avatar is pretty much a remake of other movies such as the princess of mars. Great movie but some arent int othe theme. That said, the visuals are impressive at the least.

[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]Ridley ScottNuff said[/citation]
That would be a good choice. Currently he is working on the next alien movie though.

[citation][nom]ssddx[/nom](Ridley Scott) That would be a good choice. Currently he is working on the next alien movie though.[/citation]
Yup, that's why I picked him.
Contentious but Alien was the best of all the Alien movies, also he has Blade Runner under his belt. The two best sci-fi movies ever made and same dude at the helm? Not a coincidence.

The only other Director I can think of that would create a whole visual eco-system for a totally immersive experience would be Terry Gilliam, sure some of his older films look a bit dated but Jabberwocky and Time Bandits got blockbuster reception from art-house budgets. When you give him a bit more money to work with you get things like 12 Monkeys.

great, two control freaks working for perfection... the movie will get finished by 3035 when the world is ready for a true 3d experience.

In 3035 Starcraft will be a "retro" historical film

With so many bad video game based movies, I'd be rather hesitant to watch either. However, Blizzard has always had such a vibrant, enthralling lore behind each of their big titles that it might just work, if they keep with the Blizzard timeline, lore, and plot. If they go off of what Blizzard has already set for their games, it could create significant problems.

I just don't want it to become another Doom class movie.

 

[zak_mckraken]

I thought Starship Troopers was a Starcraft movie. Anyway, a real SC movie could be could, but it's the Warcraft movie I'm really into.

 

[stige]

what about Ridley Scott?

He has some experience with Space Marines and flame throwers and pulse rifles....

 

[thehockeyinjun]

The Questions was Do you think James Cameron would do a good job if he were to work on a StarCraft movie?

Uhhhhh does a bear poop in the woods? I belive "hell yah" would suffice!

Cameron's sh!t for brains political orientation aside, I pay to see it.
