Job Posted October 23, 2005 What if they make the (inevitably forthcoming) Quake movie like Doom? Maybe they'll use the Q2/Q4 scenarios and entirely overlook the first one so they can keep their precious marine squads. In any case, I'd be that under no circumstances will the monsters from Q1 be included since they're nightmarish creatures from another dimension. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted October 23, 2005 Well duh, it would be based on Q4 undoubtedly 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted October 23, 2005 No, what I mean is that they'd opt for the Q2/Q4 movie instead of a Q1, because that might require more effort and be a bit...hm...occult? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted October 23, 2005 I think they wouldn't base it on Q1 because there is no money to be made from it anymore. Just as how the doom movie is based on Doom3 because it is fresh in people's minds. There is no money to be made from a movie based on a game put out 10 years ago and it doesn't help market their newest products. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted October 23, 2005 Plus, the world of Quake 1 is extremely disjointed and probably wouldn't translate well to the silver screen. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bucket Posted October 23, 2005 Well, the Q2 story pits earth against genetically mutated humans, so naturally they'll have to find a way to write demons and Hell into the script. 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted October 23, 2005 And maybe a bad love story. Think "Pearl Harbor" with Strogg. Or Skaarj, if they make an "Unreal" movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
KwadDamyj Posted October 23, 2005 A Saving Private Ryan-style Quake II/IV movie would be rather gruesome. 0 Share this post Link to post
baronofhell Posted October 23, 2005 I believe I read somewhere that they're going to make a WOLFENSTEIN movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
KwadDamyj Posted October 23, 2005 Considering the whole dealie of the world possibly partaking of virtual reality experiences someday, I find it rather laughable that people feel a need to make games into movies. It feels almost like a step down. Ahhh, businessmen... 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted October 23, 2005 What will they think of NEXT? A FARCRY Movie!? 0 Share this post Link to post

baronofhell Posted October 23, 2005 I don't know if you guys were being funny, but there's going to be a movie for both of those games(farcry and halo) And also, MAX PAYNE. Now I think Max Payne would make a good movie, considering the success of Sin City. And that movie with Mel Gibson "Payback", both of these movies are the same style of max payne. 0 Share this post Link to post
DarkFoxSoldier20 Posted October 23, 2005 I still say Master chiefs uniform was stolen from Doom. Those lazy Bungie bastards. 0 Share this post Link to post

Guardian Posted October 24, 2005 As long as no one but Peter Jackson and/or Dreamworkd and/or PIXAR attempt a StarCraft movie, the world will not end. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted October 24, 2005 Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Peter Jackson do a Starcraft movie. Even more, I wouldn't mind seeing him make a D&D/Morrowind/Baldur's Gate movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted October 24, 2005 In a way the DOOM movie is already a Quake movie. Maybe a Quake (2/4) cartoon series to compete with anime? I don't think Peter Jackson is going to do any game franchise based movies ever. 0 Share this post Link to post

Alboroto Posted October 24, 2005 I'd like to see a Quake mini series, something like Band of Brothers. Maybe in gory anime style. 0 Share this post Link to post

Alboroto Posted October 24, 2005 Maybe they could mix the Quake 1 and Quake 2 & 4 stories into a really fucked up script... 0 Share this post Link to post
