I'd see it out of curiousity, but I doubt it'd be any good.
I think I'd spend most of the time being amused by the cheesy costumes. There are some things which just don't translate well into live action, elementalist outfits being one of them.
Would You Go See A Guild Wars Live-Action Movie?

Then again imagine the battle scenes.
Massive fighting and all looks lost, until pets start dying and then the warriors all look at each other and shout [skill]"I Will Avenge You!"[/skill]. Followed by some of the most brutal carnage ever to grace a film. Spirit Rifts, Savannah Heats all over the place, yes my fellow movie goers this is EPIC battle you have waited for maybe set to some solemn piano music and narrated by Rip Taylor.

If Kevin Smith is a director, then sure I'll go and see it. Dick and fart jokes for everyone, Jay and Silent Bob could play Koss and Mhenlo. The whole movie could be set in LA merchant district.

Nope, GW's story is weak to begin with, it couldn't support a movie. If there was a movie about it it would probably be rubbish made by the worst director of all-time, Uwe Boll, and feature some of the worst acting performances of all-time. Although they could probably just hire most of the very same voice actors from the first 3 GW game to achieve that very same effect. Save Uwe a few minutes worth of casting work.

It'd be awesome if the movie was about the Searing. It'd cover things that weren't really in the game. And explain some things.
Watching Mhenlo and his bitches trying to survive the searing would be awesome.
With Vin Diesel as Mhenlo.

There's already a documentary movie on Guild Wars Tyria...oh wait! that was Afghanistan, I forgot, the plots the same.
Your homeland gets rocked by an event, your path changes, you fight the enemy, you find an ally, you then fight that ally and ally with your old enemy. You give supreme power to some weirdo, you realise OH SH** and take away that weirdos power. Then you go do the same thing on another continent.
lol ;p
ok serious now. Yes, I would watch it :-) Heck id even try and star in it! my mums name means silvershield in swedish (her maiden name) Silfverskiöld surely this gets me a spot in a movie about medieval type fantasy combat and high adventure!

If they ever make a Guild Wars movie, I would only see it, if it remained true to the source. At least 2 hours of the film should be devoted entirely to repeatedly killing one particular group of skeletons that keep re-appearing everytime someone goes outside the town gates.
The remaining hour should be set entirely in an busy marketplace with hundreds of brave heroes all shouting together at the top of their lungs about how they want to sell miniature pet trolls, or that they are looking for "Runners"; and a sizable proportion of the populace repeatedly accusing anyone and everything of being either a "Noob", a "Scammer", a "Bot", or all three.
It could be called "Guild Wars: The Mystery of the Seven Unidentified Golds"

Lord of the Rings was a trilogy of books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Rings)which was then made into a movie and then made into an Online MMO (which just recently..as in two months ago approx...was released).
Besides, LOTR came out way before D & D(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_and_Dragons.
But back on topic.
I would see it if they made one, but I would not hope for one to be made.

Maybe if they made it like how the Wachowski Bros made the Matrix Trilogy; having it be a different part of the story not covered in the game (The Matrix Trilogy movies were complemented by a video game and animated series of six shorts that told different aspect of the story referred to in the movies). I liked the idea of making it about the searing, before wammos, 55's, ss's, farmers, nerf whiners, ragequitters, elitists, scammers, bots etc.
Maybe have it told from the point of view of the player, who's only talked about, but never seen (like Maris :wink: ).

and during the movie someone could be standing there screamind WTS this garbage for 10 times whats its worth. Then right at the best part you get kicked out of the theater by an usher screaming err 7, then u have to start watching from the begining again. Rank 5 and below have to sit on the floor cus they r nubs. Theres someguys running around the isles naked screaming 100k the the 1st person that touches me.
But seriously I dont think it would ever get played because they couldnt decide who would be the touch ranger, Peewee Herman or Michial Jackson

hmmm would probably watch it, and probably be dissapointed like with most fantasy based movies trying to plug into an existing franchise.
While i loved the LOTR movies i was still dissapointed at some scenes not being in it, or even in the extended editions, and yes that woudl make a far far to long movie, but there you go.
I'm not sure if the translation from playign your own character in a game and loving it translates to seeing a movie of that game but without your character, obviously vice versa works, because making a game of a movie or book can and does work.
I think a movie of Prophicies woudl be far to long, too much goes on. however one of Factions may work as it is a far shorter chapter and less invovled with the others than Nightfall.

Animated Movie. Yes! i love animated stuff, i would buy a GW animated movie.
CG. YES! a complete computer generated movie would be awesome! (Show us the Searing in a CG Movie!!
Mordakai
The basic plot of Prophecy is not bad, although it would obviously have to be streamlined.
You have the valient hero who loses the girl of his dreams (Prince Rurik) and is in conflict with his father. He must go on a desperate mission to save the people of Ascalon.
Of course, he couldn't die halfway through the movie, and I would re-write the Lych completely: I think the undead are overused. Just have the Charr, the White Mantle and the Titans (Mursatt are a toss up).
I think it would work best if it was mostly told during the Searing, with the destruction of Orr and the White Mantle fighting off the Charr (but not completely - that way the Charr are a threat throughout the movie, and Prince Rurik would fight the Charr leader at the end?)
Meh, I don't know what I'm talking about. Won't matter anyway, if any MMORPG will get a movie made of itself, it would be WoW.

There have been murmurs going around that WoW might be translated into a film.

Man this movie would be pure gold. I can see it now. A new group of adventures start their journey with an experienced tutor.
Must have scenes would be:
Together all feel a savage foe who has a sword of great might. The warrior goes to take the sword from the dead body.
"It's stuck, why can't I take the sword?" "You see lad you can't just loot the enemies the you kill. That would fill the world with too much junk and make it unfair for traders to make mass profit off these items." "What kind of --- backwards logic is that?"
Next our ele prepares to blast an on coming mod.
"PREPARE TO EAT SAVAGE HEAT FOES~!!!" Ele casts the spell killing half the group. He prepares to cast again.
"What is going on, my spell, it wont cast again. It always worked before, what is happening?" "The Gods heard many complaints that the skill was too powerful, so now instead of being able to cast it every 5 seconds, you must now wait a full minute to cast it again. "We are gonna die then arn't we?" "Sadly yes."
Finally our team enters the barrens wastes and encounters something they never seen before. Hoards of robots rending everything in sight limb from limb.
"What terrible creatures are these?" "These are the bots, they savage our lands and we must pay penance for their deeds at all times." "Why can't the Gods just get rid of them?" "They find it easier to make all suffer so the robots cannot profit from these killing fields." "That makes no sense at all, the Gods are all powerful they should just smite them." "The Gods we have abaddoned this world a long time again. They only return in times of great need to sap our powers away and fuse items more firmly into the hands of the dead."
Man this film will rule.

There not just rumors its confirmed, they are indeed making a movie of it(WOW).
They could make a decent CG movie out of Gw but a live action one would be a BIG flop to be honest. Games -> films just never live up to the expectations. Although Imagine the horror of a Z axis in the film!

I'd see it, even if it was bad. But it could be good, if they focused on one specific part of the story that would fit well in a feature film. I think the Searing through Gates of Kryta is about right. And Rurik should die at Frost Gate. Mehnlo, Cynn, Aiden, Devona & Eve can carry the film on. Maybe a "player character" who is in training pre-Sear but has gotten more confident and better in his abilities (probably a warrior) training under Rurik, who takes up the leadership role after Frost Gate.

But there has to be a conclusion. The "problem" (film-wise) with Prophecy, is that the Charr are never dealt with. In the game, you move from one threat to another, without really ever "settling" the original problem (which works in a MMORPG - it explains why there are always Charr and Undead around), but would make a horrible film.
The Charr must be dealt with: either killed for revenge (I can see Gwen the Mesmer killing the lead Charr now!); or maybe taking yet unknown plot-lines from GWEN and GW2.
If they do make a WoW film, and it makes money, then maybe, just maybe, we'll see Guild Wars: The Movie.

after the credits roll, show an unknown hero cresting a hill to the charr homeland. BAM sequel.

My points:
1. YAY! I see Rurik die LIVE
2. I can see mhenlo die of degen like a stupid turnip.
3. A well made movie with a good story is always worth watching.
EDIT: About the sequel, it would be cool if they made all of the campaigns AND also EotN. Not exactely a trilogy but it would kick a$$.
