Guild wars movie

make a movie before WoW does

Uh... huh.

/signed if Uwe Boll directs. Hahahahaha

ID software did it.
Xbox's DoA did it.
Nintendo's Poke'mon Did it.

Even Sega's Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

Time for Arenanet and NCsoft to make their mark in History Permanently.

Guild Wars "The Movie"

Make it bided for a 3 part system just like LoTR.
Tyria, Factions and Nightfall. EoTN will come into it for GW's 2nd movie.

Can't wait!!! Just thinkin about it's gettin me excited. It'll be the sickest movie ever!!

The plot is probably going to be something pretty corny lol since they have to make a 3 hour (maximum or people will get sick) movie.
That's a lot of plot to squish in.

Orlando Bloom would make the best ranger ever! Oh wait...

Seriously, I would definately go see that one on opening night but there would be a few issues to iron out. Can you imagine Prophecies in a two hour movie? No? how about 3 or 4? Not really...

Proph would take at least a two parter.

Part 1: Ascalon, Northern Shiverpeaks, Kryta and Maguuma, mabye up to the part where you find the mantle are evil. Just picture creeping in on Bloodstone Fen and seeing the chosen get axed then cut to black. (Ohh I just got warm fuzzies!)

Part 2: Southern Shiverpeaks and Ring of Fire (people would snore through the crystal desert).

Oh how I would LOVE to see this!

a WoW movie has already been announced so GW loses the race in those terms.

I personally don't think this movie would be that successful if it was done. Guild Wars has a niche audience and its not going to interest too many other people.

We'll of course have WoW fanboys watch it and say its shit or something along those lines happening while GW fanboys will do the opposite.

I just don't see it happening because this game is not something that would come top of the mind such as Pokemon, Doom, Street Fighter, or Mortal Kombat. Dead or Alive BARELY made it to theatres so no, I just don't see this happening.

But like Onarik says... if Uwe Boll does it.. I'll watch it for the craptastic cheese.

/signed, I want to see Mhenlo, the dirty monk

Hopefully its sarcasm >_>... just because he was Legolas doesn't mean he has to be the ranger in the movie (assuming there is one -_-)

Not Uwe Boll, of all people... He's already butchered too many video games through big screen adaptations. House of the Dead and BloodRayne I could handle, but when he decided to butcher Dungeon Siege it became personal.

*sets Warden Celia on him*

We need him to butcher this too, so we don't have to ever think of going to see this movie because I honestly see it turning out poorly either way >_>. Its just me tho so iono.

i am amazed that so many already /signed this is a horible idea

It wouldn't have to turn out poorly if we got a director who a) knows the game and b) is willing to give us something new and fresh without breaking too far from the GW mould. Maybe Gaile Gray could go in the big chair

Not saying it has to turn out poorly but it most likely will. Like I said.. this just isn't as well known as the other game movie franchises. Im guessing that most of the good directors/producers/writers don't even know what Guild Wars is and by asking them to make a movie on it will probably force them to do a rushed research job and end up giving us a piece of crap.

/signed

This would be a pretty interesting thing to see

/notsigned if they have the same horrible acting

who would play rurik?


I like the guy who played Cliff on Cheers.

~the rat~

It'd be too late to /notsign if we found out the acting was horrible because it'd be out =P

For whoever plays Rurik, pick an actor that you would get a kick out of seeing killed twice

Tom Cruise

But only if he gets to die for real.


as for the OP I would love to see this but it will prob never happen.

~the rat~

When the movie comes out they can release a budget expansion called "Guild Wars: The Movie - The Game".

And the game will be such a huge success they would want to make a movie called "Guild Wars: The Movie - The Game: The Movie"

But if the movie's story is modelled after the game... would the expansion basically be the game of game of the movie of the game!? >_> I'm so confused by typing that. lol

Video game movies tend to be... well bad. Save your money NCSoft.

oh please no. They're always terrible. Doom 3 was the closes a game movie got to being good, but the storyline still sucked.

I thought the Tomb Raider movies weren't that bad... Cradle of Life was fantastic IMO

Hehe, I wouldn't mind this!

*Sends copies of GW to Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and Jerry Bruckheimer*

Just make a series of adult movies starring Mhenlo and various female npcs from the story.

/notsigned

Uwe is the destroyer of everything good!

Also i can take the flame fest, but nobody knows what Guild Wars is. I can walk down the street and ask 100 people in my neighborhood if they know what Guild Wars is and they would say "no". But if i asked them what WoW was alot of people would say "yes". WoW has commercials, trading cards, tv spots (south park), ect... Guild Wars has a cult following and thats it.

As much as it pains me to say this, Uwe Boll would actually be a good choice. As crappy as his movies are, they somehow make money. That would mean ANET would make money, which would be a good thing. Personally, I would rather see Guild Wars books come out. Cheaper to make and more likely to make ANET more money.

And I can see the audience now cheering when Rurik dies in the Shiverpeaks... after all the grief he gave us on the Ascalon missions running back and forth "when I was a lad..." argh....

video game movies = cash cow pile of crap.

Doom=oh look he said "shit" rubbish.

MoK="I need to do some heavy drinking after this" rubbish.

SF=pretty funny rubbish.

Pokemon=meh, ok if you are either on AClass drugs or 4 years old.

Mario="what have they done to you mario" rubbish.

DoA=rubbish. at least its got tiddies.

Double Dragon=wtf rubbish.

Wing Commander=omg please let this end rubbish.

Resident Evil=uuuhh. well at least the main protagonist is hot....but im sure i never played this game =/

Tomb Raider=see above.

im sure i missed some but you get the gist.

bad bad idea.

^^ lol a sub-plot called "What happens to Wammos who Leerrroooyy"

With Lord of the Rings (the original books) only having a "cult following" before the movies were made - I don't think it would be a problem if a GW movie trilogy was made on the same scope and scale as LotR trilogy. I do see it being a flop if it is made along the lines of the Doom2 movie - yuk -.-

you cant be seriously comparing LotR with GW.

GW has yet to even attain "cult" status. Even if it DID LotR would STILL be in another league.

edit...wait you say it as if "cult" was a bad thing. Everyone of my generation knew of LotR, LotR may not have had a movie or a game to its name till late in its life but that this not a sign of unpopularity. its a sign of true respect LotR influenced more artists than could possibly be imagined and will remain in general culture loooong after GW has been replaced by the "next big mmo".

QFT

12 characters.

YAY! I love movies, I think with careful planning, a good director, and a very good script writer, Guild Wars has potential to become a very good and entertaining Movie. Definitely not trilogy, probably have to talk about all the worlds (not forgetting all the Gods) such as elona, tyria, people of rin, krytans et cetera. and work from each worlds into the grand finale. I especially love to see some story told about Devona (one of her quotes, beside CHARGE! HAHAHA, is Father look down upon me and guide my hand) and her father, probably Little Thom and Stefan are once her father's comrade in arms. She could have been long time friends of Cynn. While we may travel back to a young Master Togo tutoring Jamei, Mhenlo whom all started out from Shing Jea Monastery. on the other side of the world, the long feuding Luxon and Kurziks (maybe some hints of why they are forever fighting), would love to see the entrance of the siege turtles in the movies, and some love story of Vasburg and Zu Heltzer. Pwoah, I do make myself over excited. There's just so many story hidden inside each character in Guild Wars, for instant, Margrid the Sly and her sister, and what is the significant with the name of Master of Whisper.

oh, don't mind if you would, do some casting for the roles... hehehe, and the monsters, off course would be CG. probably need voice actors for those.

The Big Question, who will play the hero that is the player?

there busy as it is dont make them make a movie. It would be cool but it will be extremely expensive and just think no ones really going to watch it. Most stuff just belongs in the game anyway and it wouldnt be right in the movie, lol ressing shrines, dp and even the actual skills such as healing wouldn't make any sense.

on a side note who ever mentioned pokemon isn't right really. Pokemon is an anime and thats why it would work as a film. Basically it was a cartoon anyway and they just extended it. Also i dont wanna be picky but Pokemon games arent made by nintendo but its GAME FREAK. lol just some little info.

the lord of the rings thing aswell makes no sense. LOTR was already a well known book and the film was based upon the books. THEEEN the games came after which were based upon the fimls. it wouldn't work the other way around. Just think if there was a LOTR game first and then they made the film after this, it would of been weird.

best actor choice for rurik lol.

but if they found a good producer,director,and cast of actors they could punchout a really good polot line for it, I think it would make a really good movie only if they spend a year or more makeing it. not like doom which took like 6 months to shoot start to finish and was really bad.

i really like the idea of a Guild Wars Movie, but this would be movies, which would be totally unmakeable as pure realistic looking Films naturally.
Alot of Computer technics would have to be used, alot more, that the movie weould use realistic things, so i personally thinks, its alot better, to make such movie as 3D render movie, like FF7 Advent Children (awesome movie XD, simple cult as the game itself)

When someone would make also a GW Movie of this Style, it should be created by Square Enix and their Video Studios ect. which made FF7AC.

Also imo GW has so much Content, the Movies would surely end in like 5-6 party, like the Star Wars Saga

I. Guild Wars - Chronicles of Orr
II. Guild Wars - Spiritual Revenge
III. Guild Wars - Shining Golden Sun
IV. Guild Wars - Rise of the Destruction
V. Guild Wars - A new Timeage has begun
VI. Guild Wars - Arrive of the Ancient Dragons
VII. Guild Wars .....

every chapter could have an own movie ..and boom we would have a GW-Saga similar to the SW-Saga of easily over 3 movies
=====

Hmm, in kind of a realistic looking film ,with real actors, i think it should b only a a movie saga about the adventures of Gwen, Devona, mhenlo, cynn, aidan, eve ect. and the other hero npc's

Actors I would find cool for them:

Mhenlo > Chow Yun-Fat
Cynn > Scarlett Johansson
Aidan > Tom Cruise (looks awesome with a full beard, just perfect for Aidan XD)
Eve > Jennifer Love Hewitt
Devona > Jessica Alba
Gwen Child >
Gwen Adult >
Jora >
Ogden > John Rhys-Davies
Dunkoro >
Tahlkora > Halle Berry
Goren >
Livia >
Vekk >
Kahmu > Will Smith
Melonni >
Xandra > Kate Hudson
Hayda >
Morgahn > Samuel L. Jackson
Jin >
Sousuke > Owen Wilson
Zhed >
Razah >
Norgu > Eddie Murphy
Master ... > Morgan Freeman
Olias >
Anton > James Marsden
female Sin Hero XD > Anne Hathaway
Koss > Cuba Gooding Jr.
Margrid >


hmm, more ideas i havent atm for the rest, maybe other fidn some nice actors for the characters i left out

Well it's concise and to the point I guess. Please take note of Phoenix's post...more detail = win.

A Guild Wars Movie would totally rock, but only if Jeremy Soule is involved for the soundtrack.

ftw.

One?

NO!

SIX!

Presearing and Prophecies, two of them. (One finish just after before getting to Crystal desert, in the boat, the second from Crystal Desert)
Factions.
Nightfall.
The Realms in the Mists.
And Eye of the North!

Lol, they could get Viggo Mortensen to play Aidan.

John Rhys-Davies is typecast as a dwarf, lol. With Samuel L.J. the movie couldn't fail and Morgan Freeman would be cool as MoW also. The others just made me lol especially Eddie Murphy, he does look good in a fatsuit doesn't he? ^^
