I put this as another bored jsut so you all would find this.
I have been thinking about a movie for this game for awhile.
Now, I think there should be a movie, but it has to be dealt with carefully.
The puzzles in the game won't be good in a movie (or most of them), so they would be taken out and/or changed into puzzles that deal with the story or conflict.
Everything else would be pretty much ok as it is.
Honestly I don't feel doing a movie of MYST would be the right course to take. You would have to invent a visible protagonist for one which would kinda take away a major element of the series. Even in Uru where you saw yourself, you could still model him or her after you. Also while the game is fun and plenty challenging, the plot is a tad thin. Most of the time is spent solving elaborate puzzles, picking up along the way only a few clues of what went on. By the end of the movie the audience still wouldn't have much of a clue what is going on. If there was a movie to be made, I'd rather it be based on MYST: The Book of Atrus first. Then perhaps an adaptation of the prequel MYST: The Book of Ti'ana. I feel like having that backstory is something that would be important to understand MYST.
