madrigan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 This will never happen unless someone on this forum hits the billion dollar lottery, but just for fun, how would you want this movie to go? Would you want a retelling of one or some of the stories from the games? Which one? Or would you rather have a new story in the Avernum setting? Who would play who? Any director you think could pull it off the best? It seems to me that this could be a huge epic on the scale of The Lord of the Rings movies, or a writer could pick one of the more obscure subplots and use Avernum as a backdrop for something more psychological. The idea of an entire nation of thought criminals trapped in caves is just full of dramatic possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 In terms of story, the trilogy is awesome. That said, i'm not sure if its good movie material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby-Linn Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 They'd for sure have to make three movies, like they did with lotr. Also, would there be 3 different bands of adventurers or just one? If one, would they compress the storyline so that it would be possible that one band of adventurers did all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldengirl Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think that using the Avernum universe to make a brand new plot would be best. The epic of the Empire War, the horrors of the Abyss, the frontiers in Valorim, Upper Avernum, the expansion of the Empire. Plenty of material. I just don't think the actual plots of the series would work. Too many side quests and boring details to be done. Rising from top to bottom by killing rats, then bugs, then giant bugs, and then baddies, etc. is game material, not movie material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
