Title: City of Heroes movie rights sold to Transformers producer Post by: d4rkj3di on June 07, 2007, 12:26:01 PM From Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117966386.html?categoryid=13&cs=1):
Quote "After tackling giant robots, "Transformers" producer Tom DeSanto is turning his attention to superheroes, securing the rights to NCsoft and Cryptic Studio's vidgame "City of Heroes." Plan is to adapt the massively multiplayer online role-playing game into a live-action feature and then transition it to television in some form." Videogame movies suck!

Videogame movies suck! 10 bucks says Uwe Boll is on the top of the Director list.

Title: Re: City of Heroes movie rights sold to Transformers producer Post by: eldaec on June 07, 2007, 02:00:56 PM COH probably lends itself more to this than most games.
I always rather suspected that some of the CoH team rather wished they were making films or comics. Certainly CoH has at least thirty metric butt-tonnes of lore (most of which is utterly superfluous to the game). Of course, yes, I'm sure it will suck anyway.

It won't be.

Which makes sense, because that's how modern franchise blockbusters are being made. One film isn't enough.

If it doesn't contain "The Flaming Hulk" (sadly renamed 'Generic_Superhero_3934343" or whatever they do), "Jesus Christ", and "Deus Ex Machina" I'm not going to play. Any CoH movie should be based on characters I found amusing. :)Which makes sense, because that's how modern franchise blockbusters are being made. One film isn't enough. Although I suspect there will be many women with unbelievably odd proportions wearing very little. And a lot of Goth Schoolgirl defenders.

It's probably too silly for what they want though.

Man I loved that character, his costume was PERFECT. A lot of people took screenshots of me before I got deleted. Half the people thought it was funny and a great costume, half the people blew a gasket because his name was evocative of a curse-word and he wore a Marvel costume. It was an entertaining albeit short existence. |
