Blizzard Up For a StarCraft Movie With James Cameron

[John Funk]

I want a good script-

Have you... played Starcraft 2 by any chance? Because if you have, I hope you understand how crazy this sounds.

The only hope, for now, for a Blizzard game movie to have a decent story, is for them to turn Warcraft 3's story into a trilogy, which could easily be done.

Also, I like how the Warcraft movie is no longer refered to as 'the Warcraft movie', but rather 'WoW movie'. *cough*it'sgonnabeterrible*cough*.

No, it's still the Warcraft movie. Anyone who says otherwise is working off of bad information.

And dude, Chris Metzen wrote both SC2 and War3. His dialogue has ALWAYS been silly

ok we need cameran for the effects ONLY tell him hes just doing those hes good at that then get Peter Jackson to actualy direct it then it should be at the very least ok. In truth blizz would be better off makeing it a cg movie and just hireing all their voice actors on and haveing THEIR team do all the animation all they would need to do is get a studio to promote it which would be very easy for them to do.

I just got this really weird picture in my head of Sam Worthington infiltrating a Zerg swarm to learn more about their culture and ending up falling in love with a hydralisk :-/

..You sir, have won the thread.

Have a cookie.

Spoiler

OT: Oh. God. No.

This is almost as bad as if George Lucas decided to make a movie series on the Old Republic. Get away from the merchandise, Cameron. Get the fuck away!

Avatar gets way more hate than it deserves because it was popular.

It's not the most amazing movie ever, but come on. It's not the abomination everyone makes it out to be. It's just cool to hate on it.

The whole point of the movie should be to put it all into better context. The movie and game should definitely be linked, but the movie does (and SHOULD) NOT follow the script of the game. All they have to do is to piece all the important events together, with a lot (and I mean a lot) of NEW stuff, and in the end reach the same conclusion as the game (probably).

There won't be a bloody point to the movie if its composed of all the game cutscenes/storyline stringed together.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I just started crying cause it sounds so awful

 

[Super Toast]

Meh. Cameron hasn't made a decent movie since Terminator 2.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Either way, I think we can agree that a collaboration between the people who make World of Warcraft and the guy who made Avatar would be the most profitable project in the history of everything, right?

You Blizzardites will regret that idea more than the Transformerites regret Michael Bay. One word. Plot.

Cameron will tear your canon apart.

Because he has shown a propensity for doing so in his other movies? I mean, really, where does this notion come from? I'm actually curious.

Personally, I'd probably watch it. Cameron has never made a bad film though he has made a handful that simply were not the sort of movie I was likely to watch at the time of release.

Oh man, if only we could get a movie where human fight both a humanoid technologically superior race of aliens with a secretive mysterious culture AND a race of mindless insectoid killer aliens controlled by a single hive mind.
Oh wait.

 

[ark123]

Yep, proves it, Blizzard has officially been lost to Activision.

At least with the WoW movie and Sam Raimi, its in capable hands.

But Cameron? My god... his last good movie was Terminator 2 to me, everything else felt tired and rehashed, oh look aliens, lets get that chick to fight them again for the 5th time in a hundred years instead of doing it on our own.


There's already a Starcraft movie out, called Aliens Versus Predators, go watch that and just imagine humans = terran, Predator = Protoss, and Xenomorphs = Zerg, hey look, even the names nearly fit!

All James is good at doing is ripping off disney flicks now. Wait for Avatar 2: Under the Sea.

Wait, you bash "Aliens" while simultaneously praising "Aliens vs Predators"?

What?

I'm not necessarily bashing Aliens, more or less I'm bashing the fact that in pretty much every Aliens movie, everyone NEEDED Ripley just to be competent. As if unless she was around, everyone would start thinking the aliens bled Gatorade instead of acid. I can understand having a central character for the franchise, but forcing it to a point where competence is only possible with her around, just sucks.

Which is one reason I liked AvP, sure the predators helped the chick survive in the end, but just being around her, or the predators, didn't guarantee survival.

Way to invalidate your opinion with a single sentence.

 

[Fearzone]

Well, since Avatar was Night-Elves-in-Space, I guess Cameron is the man for making movies out of Blizzard products.

Because he's a pure strain Hollywood. Canon/Lore means nothing to him and he'll happily reverse the entire film if it means extra bums on seats.

Cameron has never made a bad film though he has made a handful that simply were not the sort of movie I was likely to watch at the time of release.

Rock and Roll High School, Battle Beyond the Stars, Galaxy of Terror, Pirahna 2, Android, The Last Action Hero...

The only thing I care about is this:

Who would they get to play Nova?

I mean does anything else really matter? =P

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Oh fuck no. I hate James Cameron. Avatar was a shit movie being over hyped and earning way more than a movie should for something that's only selling point is 3d. Not to mention they're bringing it back with 8 extra minutes, just to cash it in further.
/James Cameron rant.

Yes! I really don't like saying it, but, This!

Avatar was so overhyped, I loved Terminator and Aliens, but Avatar was just overrated.

Now, if Christopher Nolan directed Starcraft...

 

[Phishfood]

Hrm. We have a starcraft movie. Its called "Starship Troopers" and through a temporal accident it came before starcraft.
