Default Would You Go See A Guild Wars Live-Action Movie?

Based on Prophecies, the original six core professions. Maybe a 2.5 - 3 hour movie, long enough to explain each character's own story, perhaps even hinting at the five gods. With the right director, I think it could done. If so, what you would like to see in it? And if you had to choose, besides their primary attributes, name one other attribute of that profession above all others that would make the most sense in portraying in the film, and why.

Coming Summer 2008... Master Togo like you've never seen him before. Jerry Bruckheimer presents... TOGO and the EXPLODING FIST.

"Shiro, time to explode. Togo style."

Most of us would (this is a Guild Wars forum afterall) even it sucked. Seeing real people act out the game would be very entertaining.

only if the entire thing was farmed out to a different production company. Anet can barely crank out crappy weekend events (let alone fixing the huge list of broken aspects) at the same time as they are making a new title

Probably not...I'd rather not see another butchery like the Resident Evil movies.

It could work, if you think logically about it.

Could it be one of the greatest movies in history? Of course not.

Could it be a summer blockbuster nearly to the extent of LoTR? Sure.

Yeah I'd eventually see it if a movie were made, for sure, but theres so many variables really, you'd need the right director, the right cast, the right script, and the proper funding for such a project.

Honestly the easiest part sounds like it'd be getting the script together and letting the crew worry about how to bring that vision to life (good trip to new zealand, among other places, and some CGI could fix all this if done right)

Naw, I stend to steer clear of movies made from games. I've seen Dungeons and Dragons and DOOM. I don't need another 2-3 hours of my life sucked into a black hole.

I'd watch it, so long as during long dialogue scenes, rogue minions start eating the cast. And I'd want an Ascalon training montage, with death-leveling. Oh and just before leaving pre, one of the cast should announce that he's staying behind because it's pretty, and a couple of others should announce they're hiring a runner and take off for half the movie.

We need authenticity.

I would not go and see it.

With the lag I’d be in the cinema for 15 hours or more!

And half the actors would rage quit!

The irony is that a Guild Wars movie would have more plot than most movies nowadays.

GW story is boring if you take the gameplay out of it.
That goes for most games.
