In Response To: Re: Marathon Movie (Not!) (Pedrof) : I think if it was made, it would be better if they kept it quiet that it was
Not really. The few times I've read Marathon reviews from users of other platforms, they say it was the Quake of the Macintosh. That phrase alone, whenever it's right or wrong, would be irresistible for some people.
Marathon story was made to fit a game, not a movie. To make the movie appealing, the story have to go under revision, which means changes. Lot of changes. : And how would they deal with the marine issue? Do you see his face or not?
Audiences need to identify with the main character - they need to see his face, even if he's wearing make-up. That technique of not showing somebody face works only with the bad guy on a horror film played by an unknown actor.
If the marine know something bout his real past at the beginning of the movie, then there's no mystery for him or the audience.
I doubt anyone would do a movie with more than one AI. I would condense the three AIs into a single character and make him/her the good guy that turns out to be the bad guy - changing a lot of stuff in the story to make it work.
I also doubt that any producer or director out there would be willing to use animatronics instead of CGI for the Pfhor. Not to mention any big-time studio executive. Heck, I even doubt they'll want to use the word Pfhor at all. Imagine a bunch of suits helding meetings to propose names like Scraags or Izzards or whatever. : At least no one could class you being Destiny as a predictable ending. You mean condensing the Trilogy in a single movie? That's not the way to make business in Hollywood. I would promise the studio (in exchange of a multi-million dollar deal) 3 movies. The first one will be based on M1, the second on M2 and the third one will be a prequel based on PiD. I would even propose the possibility of more movies based on scenarios like Evil and Trojan.
Infinity's plot is way too geeky for a mainstream production. I didn't understand it until somebody explained it right here on this forum, five years after it was released. |
