Maybe a movie that occurs in a era the PREDATES the current starcraft story line. Like some of the wars that occured as say, Shakuras was being built etc, etc. No need to infringe on existing lore, merely add to it. It would make an epic opening:

Black Screen
Type appears, "Auir" 6000 B.A.
Some cinematic with where some one gets ambushed
Black Screen
Title

))))), Actualy that looks like the opening cinematic, but in 3-D?

Getting a movie with great battles is enough.

Hayao Miazaki is one of the greatest directors in the world, making for example the Starcraft movies, Spirited Away, My neighbour totoro....

Is he a possible director candidate?? Lets all be crazy fangirls and wish for a psychadelic film with a strong girl (kerrigan, Monoke, Naushika) getting stuck in a strange new world (kerrigan, spirited away, naushika) communicating with the monsters who live there and finally coming out on top (every Miayzaki movie.... and kerrigan storyline again)

Only me seing a pattern here?

What are your thoughts on this?

Theoretically it could be a pretty epic movie. However, the chances are it would be screwed up.

Thing is, you could only use the game as a rough outline- there are a far too many build a base and destroy the enemy missions, which would make far too many battles in an actual movie.

However-
You do have the sympathetic character of Jim Raynor.
Episode 1, the Terran mission has the best chance

If you told it from the initial invasion of the Zerg, from Jim Raynor and the colonist's perspective you could follow them joining with the terrorists (plus potential love interest Kerrigan)
It would end with a bit of a downer as Mengsk sets himself up as dictator, but I guess that's alright.

I think the route to take would be between Alien and Aliens 2 as far as suspense- that is there are strange occurrences and deaths, and they start finding strange aliens, but it takes them awhile to figure what exactly is going on. (Some the early game cutscenes and storyline seem to lean this way). But the battles would be on a larger scale then either of the Alien films of course.

They'd probably be better off just trying for one movie and seeing how it goes. I don't think there's enough story material in Episode 2 (essentially protect the egg for half the campaign) Plus the Zerg perspective would be difficult to translate on screen. Episode II and III would probably have to be combined.


However, I doubt any director or producer has both the guts and the brains to pull it off satisfactorily.

Imagine if Blizzard had a huge budget and did it Lord of the Rings/Star Wars style and told the story in a trilogy over the course of three movies? Do it like they are doing the Starcraft 2 storyline, first movie focus on Terran, second Zerg, third Protoss all of course covering the over-arching story as well.

The problem with every video game movie thus far has been mediocre directors, actors and writers attached to the productions. If Blizzard got some quality talent behind the movie it could be really epic.

I always felt like magic the gathering made for an epic storyline for a cartoon, something like the animatrix. That said, I think the :wouldn't this be awesome as a ..." sentiment is all wrong. If you feel like that, it's probably because you could imagine it as such, and anyone else version would probably not be as awesome. If you're ever in a position to throw out ideas and have some chance of seeing them made, then great, but if not, just be happy with the experience you got.

It all depends on who the writers and producers are. It could be great or pathetic. I mean look what happened to stargate (dont know if anyone watches this). They started a spinoff series and it sucks. It has great potential, but any series needs to be written and directed properly, otherwise I would be very disappointed with what they would do to the game's image.

I cant believe no one has referenced Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Its a perfect example of what can happen when games become movies. There is huge potential for a movie here but there is no way the execution will be right if it is produced in the US.

I can honestly say that the article was one of the best reads on the internet that I've come across in a long LONG ass time. Every observation the author made was completely on point...he knows exactly why movies have become trash and probably will continue to be from here on out.

Blizzard is making a WoW movie using the same guy who did 300. I bet they could make a kick ass SC one too.

Edit- That is a rumor though that's been circulating. I can't find anything to confirm it.

i've heard this before as well, if it were true, it would definitely be a great movie.
