Would you see an Oddworld movie?
This is my first poll, I hope it's done right.
|
Of course I would! Why not? I'm gonna rent out the whole theater if the new Oddworld movie comes out in theaters.
|
What do you think Oddveteren?
|
yes! of course!:D the movies is the main reason why i love the games. :D
i'd et the dvd probably too. :D and the game made of it. :D (if there is one) |
Sure I'd see the movie! I just wanted to know if there's anyone out there who wouldn't or whho isn't sure. *shifty eyes*
|
I think that every Oddworld fan will see it.
|
Of course I would see it. But I don't think Munch should be included in the initial Abe movie.
|
agreed, I don't want munch's oddysee story to be in the original Abe movie, I mean Lorne planned 5 films, it would be silly to not keep it with "one film per character".
|
I DO agree with you guys, although I am very exited for a Munch's Oddysee film to come out.
But, yes, I don't think it would be a good idea to start just yet with a Munch's Oddysee movie. |
i think they should start with a movie of abe, but about the first 2 games, what happened before, imbetween, and up untill munches oddesy. i also think there should be quite a bit on the gluckons point of view, and sligs.

Why wouldn't I? Oddworld ROX!:cheer:
|
Damn straight! Even if it's Abe's Oddysee or Exodus, I'd wrangle by my parents, and go see it!
|
Wow... so I guess everyone loves Oddworld that much (including me dont worry :P).
|
Yes I most certanly would! I doubt anyone here wouldn't.

Man I am being very leet today. :dodgy: Anyway yea I would see it....I guess... |

Read what I said:
:
Although if they decided to do each movie with the quintologist on their own without the others I would respect that also. |
Yes, except about Munchs events being in Abe's story.
I just want Lonre to stick to his original plans, to make the movie the way HE wants it. |
I would see the movie even if it's about a new character if it's oddworld i am there in a heart beat.
|
but then again, i have a feeling the oddworld movie would be about something completly new. i mean, you have to admit, most game movies aren't too great...
|
WHY (Why Why Why Why Why Why) would they make an Oddworld movie on something new???
They would start from the beggining, not the unseen. It makes sense to start with Abe's Oddysee, don't you think? |
:
:
But I do think they will start with an Abe movie, seeing as how he was the beginning. |
Of course they will.
|
I'm sure they will start from the beginning to.
|
yeah, good, point,but i think they should include what wasn't in the games. maybe the first movie would be nearly everything abe has done, without including new main characters, like what everyone has said.
|
I would like to see Munch on the big screen, but to try and combine 3 or even 2 games into a 2 hour or so movie? It would be best if it was a game a movie. That way it wouldn't seemed rushed. Can you imagine what The Lord of the Rings would have been like if they had squashed all that into one or two films?... Speaking of an Oddworld film, if it is based on AO what are the chances of a remake for that game ?
|
A remake for AO eh?.... Are we talking in 2-d or 3-d here?
|
I agree with that.

Ha, a remake for Abe's Oddysee! Chances are very, VERY slim for that. Maybe a 1/10 chance.
Think about it, with all the stuff Oddworld have to to right now. Before any new ideas come, they have to finish the Oddworld Movie, possibly make Habitales & Fearietales, make Hand of Odd and make Munch's Exoddus. I don't think they could do it in the future either. When they have finished all the stuff listed above, they must finish the Oddworld Quintology (Through-out time, of course). That is a HUGE job to pull off (I know that they can do it, though) and may take some time. In order, here is what I think would be best for Oddworld Inhabibitants to do right now (Please keep in mind that this is just an Opinion of mine): -1- First, they sould finish the Oddworld Movie that is being currently worked on. -2- Next, they should make Hand of Odd to keep Fans (Or anyone) busy, while they make Habitales & Fearitales. -3- Then, they should make Habitales & Fearitales. -4- Then, they should work on the Abe's Exoddus Movie (Assuming that the first movie was Abe's Oddysee) -5- After that, they should re-make Munch's Oddysee, how it was originaly planned, but this time, in movie form. -6-After Munch's Oddysee had its original story, they should make a Munch's Exoddus game, with the original story of Munch's Exoddus. -7- Now, everything is caught up and how it was originally planned to be. Sense everything is how it was originally, they can now make a Munch's Exoddus movie, then a Squeek's Oddysee game, then a Squeek's Oddysee movie, ECT., ECT. and move down the Quintology like that: Game, Movie, Game, Movie. |
sorry i posted the wrong thing my bad.

Cullen you're way off the mark.
As we now understand it; each Hero will have one movie. Thus Abe will have only one movie the plot of which may or may not revolve around the plots of AO and AE but will definately reflect the same morals and themes. Games are likely to be put off for some time. I doubt there will be a remake of AO but, as I've said previously, a good move may be to rerelease AO and AE as a bundle pack (possibly with SligStorm, as previously planned) if they can regain the publishing rights from GT Interactive. |
AO and AE should be just one movie, since AE is realy just and expansion set.
and they could easily go together. i've already said this, but i think the first movie should just be a movie about abe in general, and his strugles. *off topic* also, i would love hand of odd. :D but i'm not sure about habbitales and fearietales. and weren't they also oing to make a non oddworld game, i forgot the name *off topic* i think the 2nd movie should be about munch, and how, he, and abe, tried to free the mudokuns, get rid off polution, and bring gabits back from exinction. |
Gabbits were never Extinced, so they didn't bring them back from it, they stopped it from happening.
And Nate, why was I so "Wrong"? I was just saying what I think would be best for them right now. I don't mean this in offense towards you, please don't think that I do. Could you please tell me what you think they will do? |
Mostly with the AO and AE being seperate movies. Also I don't think the order you suggested is very likely. If anything, you should have two parallel lines: one being for movies and one for games as the movies seem to be Lorne's primary focus now with games possibly being produced by outside developers. Also I think the quintology should be completed before the Habitales and Fearitales series' get underway.
|
Yeah, I would agree with you about Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus being one movie, but I think that that order is a good choice, I would love to see them do things way. I think that order would straighten things out a lot. I don't know, I might have to re-look over my list and see if I would change anything.
And isn't the Habitales & Fearietales series only a two game series? |
The problem with combining both Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus into the one movie is that the conversion will not be a smooth one. I realise we all love both games, but you have to look at this from the perspective of an audience and scriptwriter.
Your average movie follows a three act structure involving the set-up, confrontation and resolution. During Act I you grab audiences attention (escape from Rupture Farms) as well as introduce characters and the like. By the end of Act I, your first major plot point should be made (Abe must shut down Rupture Farms and to do so needs the hand scars). Act II consists of two halves and the overcoming of the first plot point - in this case Scrabania and Paramonia - before leading on to your second major plot point (Shrykull). Finally Act III is spent resolving the film, usually by building things up to a dramatic climax (in which Rupture Farms will be destroyed) before bringing things to a nice satisfying close (Abe's ceremony). Now if we combine the two movies, the problem essentially is that the movie moves too fast, with too much happening and we have the destruction of Rupture Farms and our resolution right in the middle of the film. By this point audiences are either thinking 'what the hell?' or 'arright, that wraps everything up'. Suddenly we're introduced to the Weirdo's and Necrum and find out Abe has to go on another journey. People are just settling down from the destruction of Rupture Farms and now the movie feels like it has no where else to go and the following is simply irrelevant to anything else that's just happened. To me it just wouldn't work. You need one movie each to portray the two stories and whether or not OWI decides to do so is up to them. As it stands, I would rather be seeing one or the other in movie form than a joining of the two. Nothing more frustrating than watching a movie and feeling unsettled because the film keeps on rolling long after the story should have ended. |
Hmmm, you do have a very good point there.
I don't know what they could do to fix this. If they cut out scenes, the movie would not make as much sense. I guess that the only way would be to kinda leave out some stuff, and put some new stuff in. |
Tom, you have a good point, but I think you're only looking at a combination of the two stories to be the one followed by the other. Lorne has actually said the Abe movie has a traditional three-act structure as you've described, so I think the story elements will have been rejiggered to make one solid story.
