Oddworld FILM?

[Paul_hibs3]

Orite everyone, I have a twitter account Paulhibs3 and I contacted @AbeMudokon and I asked him "Is there going to be an Oddworld Movie? or is this just an urban myth?"

And the reply I got was "yes, but not currently in active production"

No one really spoke of it due to me being a nobody. So I thought I'd let yous all in on it lol.

Thoughts?

P.S welcome to the forums

Hi Paul,
Well that's not old news, a while back we new about this but unfortunately, as far as we know the movie is discontinued so to speak. Alternatively, there is a non-oddworld related film that is also discontinued at the moment called Citizen Siege you might be interested to know.

Unfortunately I'm not the one you should speak to about this my knowledge is basic but I hope I helped a bit.

Lorne planned the Quintology as a set of films first and only later decided to make games. He'd still like to make the films, but he's not actively working on them at the moment.

[Daxter King]

Its actually a porn film.

Raise or lower your hopes accordingly.

[Mr. Bungle]

Is it based on that fan fiction that OANST did?

I hope so.

[moxco]

He said yes? Seems like he's being optimistic to the point of mental retardation.

No offence, oh glorious one.

[OddChipango]

Screenshot or it didn't happen. I'm sure he's referring to the Citizen: Siege film, isn't he?

[Phylum]

Wht he siad is that there are plans to work on a film at some point. We've known that for a while.

[moxco]

And by 'for a while' he means many years.

You weren't even a gamete Paul.

[Paul_hibs3]

Yh I defo know about the Quintology and Citizen Siege. I'm a massive fan of oddworld. Although i've only played the playstation abes oddysee and abes exoddus. Don't have an xbox but a ps3.

I promise yous I aint lying, although i haven't done a screenshot in about 2 years for football manager lol. How do you take one again ha?

And whats a gamete?

[Paul_hibs3]

Heres the screenshot attached.

P.s sorry for the poor attempt at putting a red lined boxed around the text haha

[STM]

Yeh, meaning a few years back they wanted to make one, like Nate said...and a gamete is a bundle of sex cells.

[Abeguy]

I'm actually hopeful, because the longer they take to work on the movies means I can finish film school, acquire some notability, and then help work on them. Dream come true!

[Xavier]

I doubt any kind of oddworld film is going to see the light of day until at least another 5 years, as Oddmobb is now working on social networks.

[Abeguy]

That's fine with me :P Won't get out of film School for another 2 and a half years, and then I need to get me some recognition beyond what I have.

[marlz]

Well, the Oddworld film with concepts showing Stranger and Abe... could this be the much rumoured film to come? Perhaps SW does play a significant part in the Quintology afterall!
(the screenshots I speak of are on TOGG)

Or I could just be getting my hopes up. :S

[Xavier]

Well, the Oddworld film with concepts showing Stranger and Abe...

It shows two silhouettes, one looking like a cowboy, the other one looking like a mudokon. The rest is speculation.

[Fred The Fuzzle]

It shows two silhouettes, one looking like a cowboy, the other one looking like a mudokon. The rest is speculation.

Knowing Lorne the probability of both settings will eventually collide.

Hopefully with the Oddboxx and SW remaster we might see new Oddworld enthusiasts -> More Sales -> More Games -> OW Movie.

[Xavier]

yep, that's the plan.

[Foxtrot Wolfwhistle]

A little bit off-topic but...JESUS IS HE RIDING A SCRAB?!

[kjjcarpenter]

A little bit off-topic but...JESUS IS HE RIDING A SCRAB?!

The thought of that is over-overwhelmingly cool. Oddworld inhabitants riding scrabs like horses ... gives me goosebumps! Haha!

[Xavier]

I know it's Christmas and all but I don't think I see Jesus ride a Scrab.

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

if you look at the lower half of the body, you can clearly tell its not a scrab.

[Wil]

Just like when you look at



you can tell they're not Paramites?

[ODDWORLDisTHEbest!]

course theyre not, look at the close one with its back to the image, its like a woodlous' back.

[MA]

well, he got you there, Max.

[Wil]

Just like if we saw Sligs covered with fur we'd know they weren't Sligs?

[GlukkonGluk]

you can tell they're not Paramites?

You can tell they're not paramites as we know them. That's all. Who knows what may or may not change in a movie that may or may not happen, in a future that may or may not happen if we all die in 2012, or if OWI shut down again.

Ooh, those kinds of observations really take the fun out of speculation, don't they...?
