Movie anyone?


With the apparently good response towards pirates of the Caribbean, shouldn't lucasfilms try making a movie out of this great series?

Lol----that would be a great idea, but even if they have completely different story lines, it MAY be hailed as a rip off.

It would be well cool, but as long as it stayed true to the game. I think Julia Sawalaha (I bet I've spelt the name wrong, but she's Saffy in Ab Fab and was Lydia in Pride and Predjudice) as Elaine, Brian Blessed as LeChuck, and Hugh Grant (though I have a feeling there is probably someone better out there for the part) as Guybrush. But who could be Murray? Geoffrey Rush? And of course Johnny Depp would have to be in it somewhere :)

It doesn't need to be live action, I'd much prefer the cartoon look of Curse to live action anyday. It'd be pretty hard to do Murray as a comical character if they have a realistic (or CGI) looking skull talking.

Hugh grant would be a terrible choice for Guybrush, his bumbling middle english fool routine would be truly painful to watch, it's a comedy role and he'd murder it. Oh man I'd sooner drive hot pokers into my eye sockets than see that.
Johnny Depp is too good looking to feature, it has to be a spoof/ comedy like the video game.

If they made Hugh Grant Guybrush I would have to kill someone.

No no no!! Stop slashing things!!

Woooohooo! I love that idea. I've been saying they should make a movie out of this for years. Now, whether it's a live action one or an animated one, I'm not sure. Great idea tho!

I think animated would be better, ie less of a rip off of POTC, also better to look like the game XD They soooo should make this movie

After the Pirates of the Caribbean films, there's NO chance of a Monkey Island film, as they would be far too similar. Monkey Island took lots from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, then the Pirates of the Caribbean movie took a fair amount from the Monkey Island games!

I heard that they were going to make this into a movie, but then stopped. Doas anyone know anything more about that?

Heard the same thing, but that was about The Secret of Monkey Island (Monkey Island 1), and it was just a possible idea, nothing in concrete.

I would love to see a film of the first two games and have even considered writing a script for it myself. The only thing stopping me is a way to fit both stories into one film.

Anyways, i don't think there would be any need for Murray as he really isnt an important character, and isnt even in the first 2 (the best 2). But i would love to see Dominic Armato playing Guybrush (dominic does GB's voice). and i would guess LeChuck as a ghost would be CGI with Earl Boen's voice... Though saying that i am getting a little flag going up in my mind saying he is dead. But u could be wrong.

As for Elaine, i would love some mature (not old :P ) but foxy lady with a carribean or English accent.

She was certainly first in the queue when god was handing out... chests...

a monkey islan game would be awsome!! but it would be best with the comic style and use the voice actors from the curse of monkey island, but Kathleen Freeman who has the voice of Madame Xima is dead, also Kay E. Kuter (Griswold Goodsoup)and Mary Kay Bergman (Minnie Stromie Goodsoup the Ghost Bride)is sadly also dead :(
but they had to start with the first monkey island game and then make another based on nr.2 and then 3 and so on, that would be better than mixing them together becous the storry line fits best if they make a film for each one.if the movie had both the first and the second game storry in it, it would just be 2 difrent stories in one movie.
