RuneScape the movie? Should they?

Answer these questions for me if you can, if you don't like my ideas, tell me a nice way instead of saying stuff like : "Your ideas suck!" or "That's horrible!"

Remember that we're focusing on the adventure side of RuneScape, not the side about rulebreakers, the game taken too far etc.

- Do you think Jagex should give permission to a film company to make their game into a movie?

- Which of the following aspects would you like to see incorporated?
Quests? Skills? Traveling around the RuneScape world? Combat? Monsters? Player owned houses and dungeons?

- Do you think there should be movie merchandise? What would it be?

- Should the movie be animated or real actors? Why would that be?

- Do you think the movie makers should sell the costumes used for the movie on Ebay?

Personally, I don't think they should. I'd rather not watch someone get 99 farming.

I'm not really sure a Runescape movie would have an interesting plot. The game is fun to play because it's interactive. If you sat there for 90 minutes watching someone on a quest..uh..it'd be not as fun.

Anime, of corse :roll:

I think if they did make a movie ( I think they should ) It should try to go over alot of runescape, without seeming too much like an infomercial. Like maybe have a few characters interacting while diong a group-quest (just like what Jagex is trying to make) and it should encorperate alot of the runescape skills and locations. And it will have to have alot of the monsters in it. Maybe seeing "the Old Man" in it would add some comedy to the bit ( seeing him teleport in ang give a box to someone in a random situation? ). And overall I think that if the movie is made, the quest should be made for runescape for us to really try to beat. I think it would be a good idea.

The part of player owned houses could be done, maybe like start the movie out in there, like over the life of one adventurer, his life, and then his embarkment with his friends upon a quest. His name would have to be made so it cannot be used by other runescappers if it used in a movie, to stop them from turning into another Zezima. It should have at least 1 mage, warrior, and archer in the group, to show off each of the 3 combat styles, and each of them will use the skills that are used for their combat style( ex. mage=runecrafting, archer= fletching/woodcutting, warrior= maybe smithing ). During the movie thay can also use the other skills, like fm for making a fire for their camp, or thieving to get a key for the quest, stuff like that. They wont have them "level up" or have the fireworks flash above their heads, that would make the film seem more childish.

They wouldent be able to show him following one of the specific runescape gods, that would cause conflict, but they should talk about the god wars and include alot of the past of runescape. That may add a bit more intrest of others into starting to play runescape, and showing them members stuff will also increase the buying of memberships.

The end of the quest would have to give the 3 adventurers rewards, most likely a new combat item for each of their skills. like a new staff for the mage, with specific powers, a new powerful bow for the archer, and a legendary sword for the warrior.

Your ideas suck! That's horrible!

I doubt they will ever make a RuneScape movie. It's just not movie material(storyline?). Personnaly I think it would be boring and stupid, and not enough people would even go see it. If you think how much it costs to make a movie, and then how many people play Rs... theres no profit.

Instead of a movie they could do an animated 30 minute television series instead.

Ye gods above who don't exist.

Let's watch someone get 99 farming by just planting taters...

I don't think you could make a movie but you could do lil 15-20 minute anime cartoons on them of miscllenious adventures.

actually a fansite did make a short movie... but they never finished it

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** July 16th, 2006, 9:41 pm

They can't even do decent music, no chance in hell could they pull off a decent film.

Not to meantion they don't have the money for it so it'd be a low budget load of..*ahem*

Not a very good idea at all...

There are movies that are based on a video game but none of them are actually correct.

For Example: Resident Evil 1 and 2.
-The movie is like the games except you never really get to go into "The Hive" in any of them. And you dont get to do all that fun crap like get out a flooding room or try and save a little girl that injects herself with the Virus just so she can walk.

Not such a good idea...In my opinion, even though Runescape is extremely popular, it has not hatched it's way into the mainstream yet to have enough support.

Besides, it'd probably be a pg-13 movie...

- Do you think Jagex should give permission to a film company to make their game into a movie?---yes, it would be quite interseting

- Which of the following aspects would you like to see incorporated?

- Do you think there should be movie merchandise? What would it be?Barrows brothers action figures

- Should the movie be animated or real actors? Why would that be?real actors
- Do you think the movie makers should sell the costumes used for the movie on Ebay-raise some good money.

Don't be silly. Almost every single movie in history that was based on a game sucks.

Runescape is a game and it should remain a game.

hmm..an animated series sounds waay better!and even if they did make a movie, if they used actors, it wuld suck as bad as the mario movie (you would know what i'm talking about if you watched that movie. it was nothing like the mario games at all...)

besides that i wouldn't wanna watch some one slaying rock slugs for 90 minutes. or watch some noob get killed by a goblin.(actually that would be kinda funny.lol)

as I was saying, if it were an anime series, (i love anime!) it would be rated pg of course with a lvl 4 noob being owned by delrith every 5 seconds.(true story)
