If Lorne is in charge then I will be something cool. To bad it's not Oddworld, but in the long term it might indeed be a good idea.

An Oddworld film would've been important to us and OWI, but in doing this they are expanding their boundaries and going where no-one has gone before, which is important for the whole film market, which is a bolder, braver thing to do.

I'm truely glad you guys changed your oppinion about it so quickly...

I truely can't wait for CS,
oh, and this should definatly stay in the gd

Citizen Siege GD forum in the future?

Actually, as the movie gets to be known a little better to the public, there should be a CS discussion forum since it will get less and less related to Oddworld. There would have to be the Citizen Siege and Related Discussion Forum, but I guess that is too long.

I'm still curious why OWI are making a new homepage for the Oddworld website, if their main project is non-Oddworld related.

Haha, that was lamer than a parapalegic.

Anyways, I think that kinda sucks. I was really hoping for an Oddworld flick. Hopefully it'll turn out good though.

Wasn't it, though? Nothing better than really half assed humor. Anyway, I haven't changed my mind. Lorne is a sellout and the movie will suck. We'll never make an fps my ass you hypocritical turd.

I guess this isn't that bad after all, all I hope is that it has a good story and is creative

Citizen is a Project of Oddworld Inhabitants, so it's normal it should be on their main page.

oh and OANST, you seriously need to tell me exactly what you have against Citizen Siege

Sorry for the dubble post... I simply had to post this picture
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...0&d=1162284118

Whoah, I was only offline for almost three days and now there so much news about the oddworld movie!

These news sound pretty exciting...


Where did you get this picture from? Now is this really going to be the title-page of the oddworld movie?
I never thought that Lorne would show the american flag in it...!

it's the flag of Americo... with dollar signs instead of stars

Ah, now I see it.
Sorry, the signs were just too small for me.

Haha, Lorne taking the piss at the American flag, I love this movie already!

No there isn’t… :fuzconf: What thread have you been reading?

GameSpot have an interview with Lorne and Sherry:
http://gamespot.com/news/6160661.html?sid=6160661

about the logo, you guys might be intrested to know that "the Eye in the Hand" is an allready existing and wide-spread symbol.

Having them bound in a shackle clearly implies that the film will deal with a world where you'r not free to use those rights anymore .

more info about the symbol here: http://www.darkfiber.com/eyeinhand/

It's also a common motif in the Middle East and is a traditional symbol of sorts in both Islam and Judaism called a Khamsa.

Hell, I have one on my keychain.

Not sure if I am allowed to post the actualy picture, so here is the link.

I didn't have anything concrete against the movie until you showed this picture. How trite can you get?

It's just one of those images they make to convey the feeling and the issues in their project, like those in the chapter headings of The Art of OWI.

I realize that. And it's trite. It's also borderline retarded.


Edit: Also anything that tickles Havok's I hate America bone is to be looked upon with reproach.

Nah, I actually meant the movie of Oddworld Inhabitants... not about THE oddworld movie... well, I guess it was a mistake in writing. :fuzemb:

This gets me interested.
At first I was dissappointed; I don't want people in OWI's movies.. but as you've said, it's good to start slow. And I reckon that the movie will still have an Oddworldish style.
Mmmm, dark humour... :Q
So cool if the movie and the game will be launched simultaneously. (Assuming that the game does have more quality than the usual movie-based games.)

(Hehheh. Citize Siege the game. We'd be playing CS. Will we be categorized as CS -nerds, then? :B *snort*)

I am so excited! And I just can'd hide it! I'm about to lose control and I think I like it, yee!

I trust Oddworld knows what they are doing. As long as I get my Abe's Oddysee movie one day, I'll remain very pleased about the announcement. :)

Sounds good.

Although I hope they don't stuff it up. $40m is a lot of money.

Alcar...

Not in Hollywood...

cs film
 

It is a lot of money if the film goes down the pan !! the problem is if the film fails i doubt we will se an abe film.

cullen why did you post a picture to MIMIC... I fail to see the relation...

And according to Lorne they are working on an Oddworld Movie internally right now, so don't despair, there will be an Oddworld movie

OH THERE IS A GOD !!! I DIDNT KNOW THAT !!

you can call me Xavier ;)

Lorne and Sherry seem extremely confidend and seem to have done a lot of excellent moves to get where they are now.

I have total faith in them

i do have faith in them but i mean, at least oddworld does have a web of fans behind them whereas citizen siege is a brand new poject which i doubt would hit as hard at the box office as say an oddworld movie.

But an interesting phenomenom is that the Oddworld fans are rallying around it as if it is Oddworld. It certainly is our ticket there.

yeah i know but im sure we all would give it a warmer reception if the film was about oddworld.

Remember what we first thought about SW when it was announced?

yeah i guess we should just wait and see

Odd-Bod please use proper grammar and spelling. It is difficult to read your posts.

I will from now on. . . sorry.

Here is another website with some information on cs.

How is it borderline retarded? I think it's quite creative since no other film has done that. I usually laugh at your posts since they're funny, but now you're just having a go at Lorne for making a movie you haven't even seen yet.

Exactly what about it do you not think has been done in film before? Because the plot of this movie has been enacted in 100's of films. Some of them good. Many of them bad. This is just one more mediocre dystopian future film.

The thing that I was calling borderline retarded is the fact that he used an American flag for his "fictional" country but replaced the stars with dollar signs. This shows a lack of interest in creating an actual living world to tell the story in. What country, in first forming itself, is going to put its' currency (which it probably hasn't even created yet) on its national symbol? This shows that they are making a movie about political beliefs instead of a movie that revolves around a story that contains their political beliefs.
