Oddworld FILM?
 
Orite everyone, I have a twitter account Paulhibs3 and I contacted @AbeMudokon and I asked him "Is there going to be an Oddworld Movie? or is this just an urban myth?"

And the reply I got was "yes, but not currently in active production" :fuzgrin:

No one really spoke of it due to me being a nobody. So I thought I'd let yous all in on it lol.

Thoughts?

Hi Paul,
Well that's not old news, a while back we new about this but unfortunately, as far as we know the movie is discontinued so to speak. Alternatively, there is a non-oddworld related film that is also discontinued at the moment called Citizen Siege you might be interested to know.

Unfortunately I'm not the one you should speak to about this my knowledge is basic but I hope I helped a bit.

Lorne planned the Quintology as a set of films first and only later decided to make games. He'd still like to make the films, but he's not actively working on them at the moment.

Daxter King 12-11-2010 06:21 PM

Its actually a porn film.

Raise or lower your hopes accordingly.

Mr. Bungle 12-11-2010 06:31 PM

Is it based on that fan fiction that OANST did?

I hope so.

moxco 12-11-2010 06:41 PM

He said yes? Seems like he's being optimistic to the point of mental retardation.

No offence, oh glorious one.

OddChipango 12-11-2010 08:02 PM

Screenshot or it didn't happen. I'm sure he's referring to the Citizen: Siege film, isn't he?

Phylum 12-11-2010 08:14 PM

Wht he siad is that there are plans to work on a film at some point. We've known that for a while.

moxco 12-11-2010 08:53 PM

And by 'for a while' he means many years.

STM 12-12-2010 01:41 AM

You weren't even a gamete Paul.

Paul_hibs3 12-12-2010 06:56 AM

Yh I defo know about the Quintology and Citizen Siege. I'm a massive fan of oddworld. Although i've only played the playstation abes oddysee and abes exoddus. Don't have an xbox :( but a ps3.

I promise yous I aint lying, although i haven't done a screenshot in about 2 years for football manager lol. How do you take one again ha?

And whats a gamete?

Paul_hibs3 12-12-2010 07:05 AM

Heres the screenshot attached.

P.s sorry for the poor attempt at putting a red lined boxed around the text haha

STM 12-12-2010 07:19 AM

Yeh, meaning a few years back they wanted to make one, like Nate said...and a gamete is a bundle of sex cells.

Abeguy 12-13-2010 09:05 AM

I'm actually hopeful, because the longer they take to work on the movies means I can finish film school, acquire some notability, and then help work on them. Dream come true!

Xavier 12-13-2010 09:53 PM

I doubt any kind of oddworld film is going to see the light of day until at least another 5 years, as Oddmobb is now working on social networks.

Abeguy 12-13-2010 11:16 PM

That's fine with me :P Won't get out of film School for another 2 and a half years, and then I need to get me some recognition beyond what I have.

marlz 12-15-2010 12:17 AM

Well, the Oddworld film with concepts showing Stranger and Abe... could this be the much rumoured film to come? Perhaps SW does play a significant part in the Quintology afterall!
(the screenshots I speak of are on TOGG)

Or I could just be getting my hopes up. :S

It shows two silhouettes, one looking like a cowboy, the other one looking like a mudokon. The rest is speculation.

Knowing Lorne the probability of both settings will eventually collide.

Hopefully with the Oddboxx and SW remaster we might see new Oddworld enthusiasts -> More Sales -> More Games -> OW Movie.

Xavier 12-15-2010 11:44 AM

yep, that's the plan.

Foxtrot Wolfwhistle 12-24-2010 04:43 PM

A little bit off-topic but...JESUS IS HE RIDING A SCRAB?!

The thought of that is over-overwhelmingly cool. Oddworld inhabitants riding scrabs like horses ... gives me goosebumps! Haha!

Xavier 12-26-2010 01:39 AM

I know it's Christmas and all but I don't think I see Jesus ride a Scrab.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 12-30-2010 08:11 AM

if you look at the lower half of the body, you can clearly tell its not a scrab.

Wil 12-30-2010 08:27 AM

Just like when you look at



you can tell they're not Paramites?

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 12-30-2010 08:37 AM

course theyre not, look at the close one with its back to the image, its like a woodlous' back.

MA 12-30-2010 08:51 AM

well, he got you there, Max. :rolleyes:

Wil 12-30-2010 10:06 AM

Just like if we saw Sligs covered with fur we'd know they weren't Sligs?

You can tell they're not paramites as we know them. That's all. Who knows what may or may not change in a movie that may or may not happen, in a future that may or may not happen if we all die in 2012, or if OWI shut down again.

Ooh, those kinds of observations really take the fun out of speculation, don't they...? ;)
