I kinda agree with Caracal in the way that I don't want OWI to change major parts of the original OW drastically, but of course things would have to be changed to accommodate the movie and storytelling. After all, there's things which work in games, but don't work in movies. :P It'd also be nice to see old ideas merged together with new ideas - Including any unused concepts that they wanted to put into the original games, but never got around to it.
Mentioning slapstick humour made me think a little. Humour in general can be funny, but sometimes it took away the atmosphere and seriousness of the original game storylines (This wasn't a problem in SW but it was a major problem in MO and AE in comparison to AO) - I hope they don't do this with the movies. It's good when there's a balance. One thing I hope they don't do is primarily aim their movies at a younger audience, or whore themselves out again to big companies like they did when MO came out (and why is
sHell all over the concepts of CS?! I hope it's being used as an example and not because sHell are sponsoring them or so).

for the rest I trust Lorne, he seems to know what to do

I hope you're right with this - I'm a little sceptical. But that's only 'cause they screwed up majorly with MO and because Stranger didn't go as far as it should've done due to bad management decisions. CS doesn't seem that original to me either, and I really hope it'll go far (People like variations on things that have sort of been done before though, so that's perhaps not a bad thing).
Just my thoughts. :P
