How would you do a 'Timesplitters' movie?


I would combine the ending of TS2 and the story of TS3. I would cut out:

1. The train part (just have Tipper rescue his girl at the base)
2. The huge battle with Captain Ash and Cortez going up to the castle (just have them reach the island and cut to some guys inside with the big ship thingy...then have Cortez and Captain Ash rush inside guns ablaze)
AND SOME OTHER THINGS.

I would cast

Cortez: Dwayne Johnson
The General: Christopher Walken
Anya: Jewel Staite
Young Crow: Ben Kingsley (use makeup/cgi to make him seem younger)
Old Crow: Ben Kingsley (use makeup/cgi to make him seem older)
Jo-Beth Casey: Jessica Alba
Harry Tipper: Mike Myers
Khallos: Mike Myers (make it like Austin Powers where he plays the good guy and bad guy)
Kitten Celeste: Carmen Elektra
Captain Ash: John Cleese
Amy Chen: Summer Glau
R110: Same actor as the game (and make the robot cgi)
Corporal Hart (a one scene appearance): Milla Jovovich

Begin the movie with Cortez and Corporal Hart. She dies and then Cortez leaves for Earth in his ship (all this before the opening credits). Then cut to the story from TS3 (with some altercations).

Here's an idea for an intro following on from the end of the "story" in Timesplitters 2 -

*It begins with Anya's speech at the start of the 3rd game, only it explains that Sergeant Cortez and Corp Hart are traveling through time, locating and collecting the missing Time Crystals, ect*

During the opening Credits, feature similarities to the first level of the game where the character (female) stealthily enters the Siberian dam. While she is confidently able to infiltrate the dam, we keep cutting back to the space station, where Corp Hart is at the control panel over viewing the woman's progress, but is clearly distressed by the banging on the sealed door behind her getting louder and louder. She repeats something like "Hurry... Please hurry". Alarms begin to go off in Siberia, and the action really starts to take off. Security begins to close in on the intruder, who has now almost infiltrated the mine shaft with the Time Crystal (unknown by the dam workers) within it.

The woman is able to escape the area with the crystal, but is being chased. Before she is caught, Corp Hart opens a time portal which the woman dives through as guns begin to fire behind her...

Try to envision what this would look like on screen -

The woman dives through in slow motion, as she moves, the camera rotates to a 90 degree angle, so it faces the portal side-on. As the woman passes through the portal, her form changes from the rather slim female to that of Sergeant Cortez. The portal closes behind Cortez.

He and Hart talk briefly to eachother, giving the audience some idea of what's going on

Hart: "You made it" (Line said in the game)
Cortez: "Here you go" (Again, line said in the game) "It wasn't easy. Are we ready to leave?"
H: "Almost, now that we have the last of the crystals"
C: "You have the case?"
H: "Right here"

*They begin storing the crystals into the case, and their hands meet*

C: "You know, I couldn't have done this without you... When we get back to Earth, and after we're done saving it... why don't we..."
H: *interrupting* "Is this really the right time?" *she smiles*
C: "We've got all the time we need..."

*They go to kiss, but then the banging at the door becomes extremely loud*

C: "You know what? Maybe you were right..."
H: *Nervously* "Yeah..."

*The door bursts open and the Timesplitters pour in. What follows are similar events from the last level of the game, where Corp Hart is killed, Cortez fights his way out, escapes before the space station is destroyed, and flies back to Earth to save us all*



Any feedback would be good after all that! Some parts may be a little cheesy, but hey! It's only an outline.

THAT IS WANGANUMB!!!

Personally, I think it would work better as a TV series/cartoon series. Each episode could showcase different art/animation styles as well as different story-telling methods depending on the timeline and subject matter. For instance, if it was set during 1930s Chicago, the characters would be done in an Art Deco style, or if it was set in NeoTokyo, give it an anime feel, etc.
