Just out of curiosity, if there was to be a movie on freespace what time frame would want them to make a movie about?

The Great War, it has the most movie - like feel to it.

But of course I would love to see the supernova with hollywood special effects.

The Great War. I thought of this already BTW. Maybe the cutscenes influenced me a bit (especially the music, which is missing from most FS2 cutscenes), but the T-V war is just another war in space, and everything else doesn`t make sense without the Great War, and the Reconstruction is just boring (well, maybe not if it`s a really good movie). A sequel could be about FS2. The Great War is a good story.

We shall prove you wrong, sir.

As for the movie, I would definitely do the Great War movie first, then the GTI Rebellion, and then the Second Great War. The Great War gives the initial story and atmosphere, and the GTI Rebellion would set up all of the prototype ETAK stuff and some of the characters for the Second Great War.

I don't really think anyone cares what the story involves, just as long as it doesn't turn into those deplorable "Resident Evil" movies...*shudder*...

[achtung]

I prefer Great War just because it has more of a drama/action like feel to it.

[Fenrir]

The Great War, since anything afterwards wouldn't make much sense without it.

Great War. Just a T V war wouldent be as great of fun. Of corse a month before hand, with talk of  GTVI problems occuring. Then the shivans pop up. Much more better movie atmosphere. Anyways more fun seeing the shivans kill everyone..

Ah, the glory of Alpha 1 on film. But, who would make the cut? >)

Id like to see a movie of all of those options

After FS2 would be sweet. Very dramatic.. with capella and all. Also the life threatoning threat of GTVA falling apart would be quite the thriller..

[MatthewPapa]

Great war because it has a better story, climax and ending

Bastion 'splody. Enough said.

I wasn`t talking about the Hades rebellion (<> Reconstruction or != Reconstruction for all you C coders), which could be made into a movie, but I think it should be more like mentioned in the second movie that takes place in 2367 (I probably say this because I`ve never played ST, so all I know about the Hades rebellion is from FS2 tech room and the FS2 reference bible (I think that`s what it`s called)). Ocassional flashbacks (Bosch) and such, or maybe a short intro with narrator and then black screen/32 years later or stg like that. It is definitly needed to explain the events in FS2, but I don`t think it should be a separate movie.

Resident Evil? Meh, it's not really in the same genre as Freespace. What we really wouldn't want, would be a WING COMMANDER movie clone! Man, that was horrid. Remember those ugly-ass fighters? Just imagine what they'd do to the FS fighters . . . ick.

[Kie99]

After FS2 because I want to see what happens.

True, i forgot about that, it almost destroyed what was left of the Wing Commander fan base, already disillusioned somewhat after Prophecy...(Although the WCS should change all that )

...And honestly, can you think of any movie that would be like the Freespace Storyline (and i mean, Human Wars in space, dealing with EARTH and such - none of that 'Galaxy Far Far Away fluff) that HASN'T been a steaming pile of Canine Excrement...? Not to mention Videogame to Movie adaptations - see: Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, what they've done to the Doom movie so far - so i'm not even going to give an opion on the period lest it tempt fate and a movie actually gets made...

@Mefustae:

But yeah, a FS FS2 movie would be great. Hell they could hier us to act. Why? We got the knoloage, the fear, and the experiance of the FS world. We got the real emotions about it, and what hapened.

>)

[Akalabeth Angel]

Why a movie anyway? Why not a Freespace series like the new Battlestar Galactica? That'd be cool.

[Nuclear1]

AA does raise a point. A series would work better to cover the several months-worth of story in the Freespace 1 (you could do this with a movie too, but it would result in any of A) Loads of flashbacks, which can be annoying B) Multiple movies, which is expensive C) Condensed plot, which doesn't do justice for Freespace).

A series would be interesting.

[FireCrack]

Also, a series could inclued the last bit of the T-V war.

Erm.

*points to sig*

There's a lot more to the Reconstruction than "The Terrans split up. The Vasudans rebuilt. Then they reunified a few years later." A lot more.

Heeyarr.

[Taristin]

Great war, definately. Liva action Vasudans! Woo!
