Its funny in this case because not "fucking it up" effectively means making a movie that's barely related to the game outside of the basic setting.

Hope they make something trippy like The Green Knight

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.

The last of us was great too. Not a movie still. But .

"A24" is the only thing here that gives me a tiny bit of hope.

I really wish studios would just start hiring writters and making original content. Im so bored of everything being ripped from other media.

I think about this a lot

I love the idea of media expanding on the lore, but needing to insert a plot could ruin it

My only "solution" is a TV series instead of a movie and every episode should be a separate story

That one got a lot of hate, but I actually liked it. Not so much the second one, though.

Wreck It Ralph doesn't count because it wasn't based on an actual video game, but on video games in general. But it was indeed great.

The Hoper Mario is something - it's so off the rails, that it's crusing on anothet track.

Didnt the John Wick movies usee the role effect? Using this one to introduce the dodge role would be funny.

Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.

The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with.

But also adds more chance of the movie to fuck up the lore for the sake of the movie's plot.

i agree i immediately do not care about franchise products these days

I don't know, just because the video game isn't real doesn't mean that the movie isn't based off of a video game. I think it just shows that the reason most video game movies fail isn't because the movie is bad, but because the fans are too harsh. If Wreck It Ralph replaced the main characters with characters from Mario but still had the same basic plot I don't think it would have been as well received.

Personally I'm keeping my expectations low on this one. Game adaption to movie seem to always go to shit. Though personally would love a movie about the Bloodborne universe. I imagine a horror mystery movie about it.

This noob missed the plot.

Git gud.

WoW, Prince of Persia

Never played. I always thought it had horrible story telling intentionally. From soft games feel like reading a redacted report.

It could absolutely be a dumpster fire but I trust a24 to not fuck it up. They have a great track record and I think the whole minimalist storytelling thing is right in their wheelhouse. Time will tell though.
