Why would you want to see this as a movie?

If they made it into a trilogy, they could easily do the entire series. The games do contain a metric ton of script, but how much of that is inner monologue and how much of that is recognizing surroundings or other things that don't have to be shown in a movie?

Yes, there's a HUGE risk of making movies out of this series. There would have to be some very solid actors that fit the parts they're playing. But more importantly, there has to be good scripts. I'd tap the people that scripted the games. It's not that Uwe Boll is a terrible director (though I'd never say he's good) it's that the scripts for his movies are awful and he doesn't seem to know how to get anything out of actors. He makes mediocre movies and he doesn't usually know how to treat the source material. Or he doesn't care to. So yeah, not good, but mediocre.

I could see a good director with the proper actors making a very good series out of this in the movies. It's just a shame that Eidos or Chrystal Dynamics or whoever seems to have abandoned this series, which is sad. I honestly think that the LoK games have the best stories in the history of videogames. Yes, that even includes Metal Gear Solid.

I think it would be fantastic if they made a CG movie. I would _love_ to see all the characters in a high res, high detail movie.

I have yet to see a video game based live action movie that's any good, with the exception of Silent Hill, which although I was initially skeptical of, turned out fairly well and I felt it did the game series justice.

I think they should just stick to CG if they ever consider making a LoK movie, and I also think that they need to keep MGS in CG too, but that's just me.

I would kill for a decent adaption of this. the story was really what attracted the players, and I have to admit, I cried during the final scenes of Defiance.


of course, no-one will make a movie of a semi-successful franchise, you'll have to play the game again. which is probably better than watching a crippled movie.

I agree, though I must say if they ever had to pick somebody to fill Kain's shoes [Even though he doesn't wear any XD], I would recommend Bill Nighy. One look at him in Underworld as Viktor confirmed that. [See the scene where he's bald, blue, and sitting in a throne-like chair. He looks very much like Kain, and even has the right accent.] He would suit it very well, but they should still do it CG.

Just write novels on the games. They're much better than movies anyway.

If con is the opposite of pro, wouldn't congress be the opposite of progress?

They'll eventually produce a sequel to this game... Hell i'm surprised they've not tried to make an MMO out of it. Which lets be honest i think there's quite a few of us who'd love to play one set in this universe.

Part of me wouldn't mind seeing a remake of the games that have come out so far, not so much for updated graphics but more for updated gameplay. I'd still love to have seen the entire series have gone a more action/rpg route, or even a KOTOR rpg route. Part of what i loved most about the original Blood Omen (which i still feel is the best of the series) was the depth that game had.
