I hope this does not end up like Wing Commander

Please be decent

It's being produced by Dean Devlin, so it's going to suck. Sorry, but true.

P.S. - This is in the wrong forum.

Doh, yeah it is. Well kinda, the other is for movie "reviews", and such. Nothing to really review except my tears on this movie potentially being screwed like a 100lb white boy with a clean ass in prison.

For a moment I chubbed! Then I realized that this could be made really really bad. I'd rather see a movie made like the movies from the actual game than have to worry about shitty special effects and bad acting.

Hopefully it doesn't come out like these 2 cinematic gems...

It will suck. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

*sigh*

I don't have high hopes for this...

Although, Gundam G-Savior (live action w/ mecha) was pretty decent.

This might not suck too badly... =P

I had written a large commentary on my thoughts about this, but realized I could sum it up with my original, final line:

It's going to be another D&D:The Movie.

DnD sucked ass...Im guessing this movie gonna suck too but either way the eye candy will be nice im sure.

If D&D had managed to stay true to the handbooks (wtf is a ranger doing in plate?!), and not be so campy, it might have worked.

The mechas were done very nicely in G-Savior (storyline was about two notches above fluff), and I'm hoping that they'll use that as a starting point.

I'm not holding my breath, tho. =P

That abomination needs a WHOLE lot more doing to it before being acceptable.
I shudder at the memory. . .the only good thing about that film is Jeremy Irons' "WTF am I doing here" expression after every scene in the outtakes.

Heh. Never saw the outtakes. Couldn't bear to watch any more of it =/

Lessee. ID4, 8 Legged Freaks...

sample plot line will have clans invading the inner sphere, who just happen to have a macintosh computer that can hack into their comm channels etc etc.

argh!
