PadawanOsswe Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 last I have read there is no official Director yet. but Peter Jackson and WETA are on board. cant go wrong with them. all I can assure is that the Director will NOT be Uwe Boll.

Premium Member Mark T. Ingham Posted November 24, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 24, 2005 hi, I'm looking for funding for Pacman the movie, Daniel Day Lewis has signed on to play Pacman. Can anyone recommend some financiers? Keith You need to cast Ms. Pacman before they'll approve the financing. An actress with a large mouth would be a plus for the role -- Julia Roberts perhaps? Personally, I'm most anxious to see the screen adaptation of the 70's video game "Pong." :blink: The cinematic possibilities of such a film are limitless.

Peter Jackson has taken on the Ex. Producer role if my memory serves me correct I think it would be great if they got in the same crew as for Lord of the Rings or King Kong. Could be really interesting with Andrew Lesnie. It's not something you see a "huge" amount of these days, these sci-fi/adventure films. (I've never actually played the game but I have seen things from it) Edited November 26, 2005 by Daniel J. Ashley-Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadawanOsswe Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Yeah, nothing to do with the creativity well being sapped dry! if book-to-film adaptations are acceptable. Game-to-film adaptations should be acceptable! wherever there is a great story worth bieng told, TELL IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Bass Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Yeah, but . . . It's really NOT that great of a story. I had the game. I played the game. I played the sequel. One of the most overhyped and overrated games in history. It's okay, but Jesus. . .people act like it's the greatest thing ever (game nerds, that is--maybe not so much most of you people). I may have played one or two games that really did have great stories, but I can't think of what they are, if I have. Every time I see an article in a gaming mag or online (oh, by the way, did I mention I was a game nerd?), and they talk about how "real" the emotional content of a game is, and how moving the scenes are, I want to laugh/die. It's retarded. If you feel emotion when polygons voiced by mostly incomptent voice actors die/achieve victory, etc, then you are a simple human being. And I've actually heard of this. There's role playing game series called "Final Fantasy," and I remember a series of letters (to a website? a magazine?--I don't recall) where people described how after so and so died, their family was sad for two weeks, or they couldn't touch the game for a certain period of time because they were overwhelmed by emotion when they did. Not making this up. I like games, sometimes I like 'em a lot, but they got a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go before they will seriously affect rational-minded people the way movies do. So in conclusion, the story in Halo (and Halo 2)--not that special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
