What worries me about an Oddworld movie isn't whether or not it will be good. I know it will. I'm afraid that it is going to fail if they stick to their guns and make more adult than the common fair. Look at MirrorMask. A beautiful c.g. film written by Neil Gaiman with the art of Dave McKean. The film was made by Jim Henson studios and yet they can not get it in theatres. It is playing in about ten small theatres in the U.S. but the chances of it getting wide release are very poor. I'm just afraid that the same thing is going to happen to Oddworld. My biggest fear is that the movie will fail and Lorne will decide to shut down completely.
You're missing the point here. Mirrormask didn't fail because it was challenging. It failed because the script was crap and it was savaged by the reviewers.
