I agree with odd chick. Obviously a movie can't consist of Abe running from floor to floor, saying "Hello" and "Follow me" to 99 Mudokons. They'll have to expand the introduction to Oddworld, illustrate the Mudokon's plight, show RuptureFarms despoiling the landscape. Luckily, the reason we all love Oddworld is the layers of story and character that define each game, and as such it'll be much easier for these games to translate to film than most others that have a negligible plot.
Although something just occurred to me today: Lorne stated in his G4 interview that the next Oddworld game would coincide with a feature film. If the first Oddworld movie is Abe's Oddysee, does that mean the next video game will be a next-generation console remix of Abe's Oddysee? RuptureFarms in 3D? Elum platform jumping? Just a thought.
