I agree with Abe16, cuz in a interview with lorne they talk 'bout why OI changing their style from games to movies. It's jus one of the reasons I guess, but take a look yerself. (I jus copied this from the site a while ago so a can't remember the name of the site, sorry)  my thought is; if it doesn't go well with the movie/movies then i think Lorne Lanning and co will continue making Oddworld-games. anyway if they're goin ta be a movie about oddworld then we're pretty lucky, but if the movies not 'bout Oddworld and they're doing great, for the company i guess then we could say Oddworld's dead... |
Personally, I think it's great that OWI want to do work in the animated film media. I would definitely go and see the movie.
However, what really worries me about this is that people that aren't die hard or even moderate fans of Oddworld will 1. Not know about the movie and therefore not go and see it, or 2. Not even care about seeing it just because it doesn't have a "Pixar" or "Disney" label on it. (Yes, I know that it's sad, but this is what American film goers base a good movie on most of the time, unfortunately. How did Pixar get its start? By getting a Disney label slapped on its movie.
) If the sales in the films/tv show (whichever comes first or both) are really weak, then how will OWI have enough money to go back and produce the great games that we all know and love? I'm not saying I don't have faith in OWI, but, truthfully, I don't have faith in America's movie-goers. :/ (I don't know about the movie-goers in other countries, though.) In my opinion, these movies are really a one-shot thing...I would hate to see what would happen if they didn't sell well-if that happens, then Oddworld could, in fact, be dead.
