Guildwars Movie
Zyrell

I think it would be horrible, like pretty much every single video game based movie ever created.

hey now, dont you remember how awesome super mario bros was?
Zyrell
come on guys give it a chance and tell me your thoughts, i think its an awesmoe idea, guild wars is one of the few mmos with an actual story
Konig Des Todes
I'll stick to books, games, and maybe comics. Movie... wait a long while at least. I want a Diablo movie before a Guildwars movie.
Although having a movie of some lore-story of GW wouldn't be bad. maybe one of Abaddon fighting the True Gods and being imprisoned, or of Odran and his portals... the gods sounds better. But not of something that is based during the time of GW1 or GW2, or of the books.

Zyrell

I dont know i think it would be cool jsut liek super mario bros yes that movie is good doom was good also i think it would be very cool if there was an elder scrolls movie would be cool also but yeah i think it would be kinda cool xD
Zyrell
cool thats what i like positive feed back, i think its an awesome idea, you guys should try to post ideas, and suggestions, and try to write more than like one line

I really hope they never attempt a Guild Wars movie. I love GW just as much as anybody, but there has never been a decent movie based on a video game, ever.(..and if you dare mention Tomb Raider to try and disprove me I will poke you in the eye with a very sharp stick 
...) Video games just don't translate well into movies, especially MMOs. There's just far too "big" of a world here to cram into a few hours of film.
That being said, if they do end up releasing such a travesty upon the world, here are some ideas on who to cast.
Jora - Morgan Webb (from G4, am I the only one who thinks she looks like Jora?)
Gwen - Wynona Ryder
General Morghan - Morgan Freeman...obviously
Varesh Ossa - Rosario Dawson
Shiro Tagachi - Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
I had more..but my head is screaming at me right now so I'll post 'em after a few Tylenol, when I can think again.

Generally, bad ideas tend to attract negative feedback a lot more than positive feedback. Don't take it personal, but it's been proven that video game based movies aren't the best ideas, many times.

Movie based on a bad setting with a company that can't write a good story = bad movie.

ok then what do u guys suggest along these lines, since my idea is apparently so bad but no one has any ideas or thought to help

its not a bad idea at all, reality is tho video game movies blow....except for double dragon (its all worth the alyssa milano can shot).

Video game movies are always 100% terrible. No exceptions.
Now, a cinematic released in theatres as a trailer . . . that could be good.

well games based off movies suck alot, but i thought, that a movie based on something like guildwars, would be cool. Alot of the areas and scenery is cool,and the story of the main original game was kinda cool. Unless everyone else is just being judgemental. I mean most people here have either played, or at least seen enough of the game. I actually see the story played out either with real people or maybe computer generated like Advent children
Zyrell
a trailer for the new game u mean?

the pretender
I've had a few dreams were I've seen my self fighting Abadon. The shit is scary more like nightmares. But its turns out epic. I'm a monk who not just heals but also do martial arts and and use Shadow steps i teleport to abbadons head and start pounding his face. Then a tentacle stabs me in the back. I use something similar to Remove condition but it looks nothing like the game its starts healing my flesh slowly like picolo in DBZ. Then out of no where Abbadons body is visible i creep out and wake up.
yes i woke up and wrote it down right away after a few day i got in 3ds Max and started modeling my self. Now I'm working on Abbadon wish its a pain the Textures are taking a long time to draw out. ^^
I would not mind seen a guild wars movie just as long as it has nothing to do with the original game plot.

A guild wars movie would be good, but our expectations would be so high that we'd imagine the movie as ANET's "shiny" trailers
Although as long as it doesn't strictly follow the ingame plots and has some variety, I can bet it will be good.
GW has some good story writers and lore, but the developers are bad at implementing it sometimes... Sorry Regina, it is the truth :<

I don't want a GW movie. But I am not at all opposed to a few GW Novels.
BRING ON THE LITERATURE.
Games just translate into books so much better.
And to the guy above me, The Spirits Within was a good movie. Boo hoo it was traditional FF. You probably didn't like it cause no body had any hair (lol).

Games into movies is what lazy people want. And they always get high expectations. Not to mention, Games, especially games like Guild Wars, are too "free-roaming" (you can do whatever you want really) to put into a good movie. At least, what we experience in game. I can only see a game becoming a movie, not even a good one at that, if it is based on background info or future events (like how Advent Children was based after FF7, not during).
Of course, I cannot see anything being turned into a movie well, except maybe comics. TV show might work, but not for games like GW. Again, too "free-roaming."
But the GW games would make grand books. I'm sure. I know I'm waiting for the three books to come out whenever they do. I hope it's before GW2.
Phaern Majes
Games made into animated movies don't bother me as much, no I never seen the pokemons thank god. But I think Advent Children was pretty damn good, and if I remember correctly I think I liked Final Fantasy the Spirits Within, though I haven't seen that in years.
Wasn't a fan of Mortal Kombat, though I thought Tomb Raiders were alright and Resident Evil was pretty good.
Though I agree I'd like to see a diablo movie before a gw one. Particularly one that showed Tyriel being tricked by Izeal to use the soulstones and Tal Rasha sealing the prime evils. That movie would kick ass even if all it ended up being was

People thought the exact same about (insert video game based movie here), but (insert video game based movie here) flopped, just like a Guild Wars movie would. |
But this idea sucks. A movie about GW? Yay, I get to see another game that I enjoyed turned into something that I am entirely embarrassed about!

2 things
1. Final Fantasy: the spirits within - remove the Final Fantasy brand, and it's actually a decent CGI movie.
2, watch "In the name of the King", and if they did that to Dungeon Siege which were the "spiritual" ancestor to GW(to me anyway), No thanks to the GW movie.

Guild Wars movie = worst movie ever. Nobody would watch a movie about a video game MMO RPG, it would just be stupid.
Off topic: why do you post almost every other post Zyrell? Are you just trying to rack up the posts? More than half of your posts didn't need to be made.

wasnt there a huge thread on this already? im not up for the idea, if they do they shouldnt release it at the cinema. It should be like the animated trailer or similar to the final fantasy films.
DarkGanni
Ask him, he knows PERFECTLY how to adapt a game to movie.
Apart from the joke above, My idea would be split in 3 or 4 Movies (one for each campaign following the stories). It would require lots of money, time and filming. Or an other idea would be the tyrian story and gwen with some " # years later parts".
