It wouldn't fit in a movie. Maybe someone should write a novelization. Can you read?

Going by the cutscenes in game I rather play a fun game of 'Hide the razorblade in your cornflakes' On a more serious note the Warcraft movie has been on the cards for god knows how many years and if that hasn't been made yet then Guild Wars doesn't stand a chance.

id like it but its not gonna happen, theres to much to put into a 2-3 hour movie, so it would end up just like lord of the rings.

A movie would suck because there is too much to put into a 2, even a 3 hour movie.

Wow, sombody didn't just go to www.maddox.xmission.com and copy that or anything.

A Guild Wars movie may be an ok idea. I would just like to see special effects with the skill we know. "Meteor to the face!"

and the problem with it is?

I'm not saying we wouldnt like to have one, its just that if it ever possibly happens, it would be a whole series of movies starring crappy actors such as Tom Hanks and William Shatner. In my opinion, it isnt worth waiting a year in between movies.

apparently you don't remember the good ol' mario brothers movie and how it flopped. i think the only one that was half way done right was teenage mutant ninja turtles. i'm sure there's some other movies that were made from video games but they all sucked as well. mortal kombat movies weren't really the greatest movies, good thing i never paid to see those.

Guild Wars movie?

Well its certainly linear enough for it but I don't think it should directly take place in the story. Show what happened before the player arrived. No live action and no outside help just have Anet make it like their C.G. trailers.

Not only would I not see the movie, my unadulterated shame at playing a game associated with such an inevitable crapfest might drive me to stop playing GW as well.

I think it's not a bad idea, but perhaps before a movie, they probably should try to make a novel out of it first.

Forget a movie. Lets get LIVE ACTION CUTSCENES to replace the current ones. Just like the classic Command and Conquer games.

movie = bad = I'd still watch it because I'm a fan of guild wars. Who cares if it sucks... which there could be the odd chance that it would be decent. I'd love to see a Rit kicking some butt blindfolded

But novel... that'd be good.

I was actually thinking about a guild wars movie but I was thinking that if they did make it a movie they'd have to change the name of it because Guild Wars wouldn't make much sense in a storyline aspect where they introduce characters and so forth.. unless it was like the orginal mortal kombat i guess...

AC wasn't terrible, The actual FF movie blew because it had nothing to do with the games, any of them.

It all depends on the media that is used and what storyline they want to use. I'd rather see a movie/series that is animated or cg thats based off of the lore thats already produced and not really the storylines that take place within each game. The events leading up to the games would be pretty cool to see in a movie or series.

And as much as people dont like the voice acting, I'm sure with good scripts the voice acting would be good if they manage to get the right voices for the right people.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles is based on a comic book.

ok that said,
Super Mario Brothers
Resident Evil (+Sequel )
Silent Hill
Tomb Raider (+Sequel )
There have been a lot of video games made into movies, not always with good results.
Anything is possible, why not "Guild Wars - The Flameseeker Prophecies" the movie?
If they think it will make money, it WILL get made.

Vin Diesel as Mhenlo? He's to muscular and deep voiced for Mhenlo.

But I'd rather read the novel as well, books always do a better job than a movie.

Would be a cool cast line up imo

Mhenlo = Vin Diesel
Prince Rurik = Chuck Norris FTW!
King Adelbern = Sean Connery
Cynn = Angelina Jolie

I'm pretty sure the Factions story could fit entirely into a 2-3 hour movie.

lol yeah. Honestly this is more a money issue, but with all the horny teenagers wanting to see IRL female eles, and the possible hilarious cast (omg chuck norris totally, but how dare you suggest him being prince rurik the nOOb!!!), I'd think it'd work even if the plot sucked ass.

Factions would fit.. but i think that would just suck as a movie, the whole kurzik/luxon thing was just more for alliances in game prolly. I can imagine nightfall sucking, any movie where you have to kill a god will suck, so that leaves prophecies. And I think you could all agree presearing, the charr, the titans, the ring of fire, the jungle.. it'd fit perfectly .

tho it'd definately be a lord of the rings rip off -.- (presearing--shire, charr--orcs, ring of fire--- mordor, staff thingy--- the ring, thunderhead keep -- helms deep)

Not that any fantasy isn't already based almost entirely off LotR anwyays lol

^and the worms were based on Dune.

The movie would be great but one of the things is there are people that click the bottom right corner every cut scene.

I was thinking the same thing about Sean. But deffinately not Chuck as Rurik; that role would call for something Mr. Norris is incapable of. He could only be something that matched him in his colossal stature, like Balthazar.

I think a book would work out better, though in my experience novelizations of movies/games are utter drivel. But if you want a movie type thingamajig, it would probably be better to go with a mini-series.

Use Guild Wars Lore, a new set of characters, and let these new characters go through the story(and occasionally witness events involving Mhenlo and the rest). If you bring in familiar characters like Mhenlo, Cynn, etc, its harder to avoid disappointment in how you play the character(everyone would expect the exact same clothes and style of speech/lines).

But that's just my two cents
