They did
I would be higly disapointed if CS fails, but I have faith in what Lorne does. Plus like I said before, they do it so they can do a better Oddworld movie after

That looks awesome!! Wow, I can't believe it, they're going through with production! This is amazing news, this makes me so happy!
If you ever get in touch with Lorne and Sherry, say thank you very much!

Holy Christ that looks cool. I can see the Oddworld symbolism in there

But what kinda killed me is the American flag...

This is good news, this could be the precursor to the return to the oddworld quintology.

Didn't you read Xav's post? It's not the American flag.

Clearly it is virtually the flag of the U.S.A. Just because it’s been slightly altered to the Bucks and Stripes doesn’t make it totally fresh and unique. Personally, I don’t mind it. Its symbolism is a little blunt, but a fair bit of Oddworld parody is equally blunt. But I know some people have reacted badly to it. I say there’s plenty of time for the logo to be fine‐tuned, as much as I like it as it is.

For my take on the usage of the flag click here. Go ahead Click it. You know you want to see me being an asshole. So do it.

Well this is definately nice and refreshing to have some news in any form. It's definately foot in the door of the movie industry for them to do something that people can relate to and if it turns out really well, when an Oddworld movie is going to be released people will probably see the Oddworld movie simply because "From the creators of Citizen Siege..." This is speaking very optimistic and definately best of all possible worlds...still I'm very excited!

Well, uh, gee, I couldn't really tell they were dollar signs, but it explains a lot...what I really meant by my earlier comment is that knowing that the film is about America (which I've never liked, no offence to any Americans) kind of lowered my anticipation for the film.
But yeah. I'll go see it, whatever it takes.

I live in America, and it ain't all that and a peice of cake. One of the few good things we have here is Disneyland and Walt Disney World in the same country.

But even so, I'm always looking forward to see what America/the world will look like in the future so... I'll still go out and see this movie (when it comes out that is), and I'm glad we have a logo for the movie! W00t.

Eh, to wind up my statement, I never said that America was a bad place to live, or anything like that. In fact the only thing I happen to dislike about America is its attitude. I know a lot of Americans, and I do mean, a lot, that are all like, “America is the best country in the world, we’re the richest (ahem…try looking at statistics sometime during your lifetime), we’re the most powerful, we could take over the world if we wanted to…bottom line, every other country sucks and we’re better than everybody else.” So I can just say that’s what the attitude of most Americans happens to be. Once again I’m just clarifying and please let’s not start a debate about this (I just know someone will want to say something in response to this).

*drops it*

I don’t see anything wrong with the logo, there’s a huge load of symbolism, like the keyhole, and the eye, and the hand, it definitely shows the theme of a lot of Oddworld games, i.e. the industrialization of the world. I still wonder what the final one will look like…but imo this one is pretty much good to go.

We only act that way because we are realists. We really could do all those things. I feel so sorry for you sad sack Europeans. Always whining about how horrible Americans are just because you aren't nearly as awesome as we are. Buck up, people. One day, if you try real hard, you can be as cool as us.



p.s. The logo sucks pirate penis.

I'm glad that OWI is actually working on something. But I'm disappointed that it's not about Oddworld.

heh, if you read the previous posts you will see why it's not set on oddworld and why that's probably a smater move then to begin directly with an oddworld movie
