Mechwarrior Movie movie 'in development'

[NGTM-1R]

So where's the catch? Uwe Boll to direct?

[Scotty]

Harmony Gold be the catch, I guess.  Maybe some settlement that leaves little cash for actual production.

[Colonol Dekker]

Worst unrelated thread title ever

[Blue Lion]

What am I supposed to do with a sock?

[Colonol Dekker]

Please don't ask that question. . . I'm afraid he'll tell you the answer.

[NGTM-1R]

What am I supposed to do with a sock?

Because I am the embodiment of all that Dekker fears.

The term is "wanksock"

I knew that would happen. . .
 
So. . . .the film, is it gonna be full of political junk I won't understand or is it mostly mech funtimes?

[The E]

It's gotta come out of "in development" first...

[Colonol Dekker]

I hope Digital Anvil head up the CGI effects. They're my industry favourite. . . . .

The movie or the... hmmm

[Nuke]

wanking in socks is so uncivilized

[DarkBasilisk]

Won't get even a twitch unless you make it Armored Core

Oh, come on. Armored Core is a bunch of video games.

Battletech is god-knows-how-many novels, sourcebooks, and years of careful sociopolitical development and atmosphere.

This is why you're setting yourself up for disappointment With AC they can just have bad-ass high speed giant robot fighting (probably done by Michael Bay) with a standard non epic level plot that can be whatever the writers feel like at the time beyond some general guiderules. When the universe has been rebooted a ton of times you have a lot less instances of fans with pitchforks saying you screwed with the story

Wow. Yes. Now I need to find some way to have an armored core movie made by Michael Bay. That'd be a good use of his tendency to OMG SPECIAL EFFECTS

[General Battuta]

Yeah, maybe.

[Nuke]

id be happy to see any battletech story. i cant be bothered with the books when i still got dune books i haven't read yet.

[Colonol Dekker]

Michael bays writing and filmmaking is crap. I only like the CGI complexity and appreciate the technical skill required to pull it off.
 
 
Mechwarrior if made into a film would be more of a band of brothers style i'd hope.

[Stormkeeper]

Michael Bay AC film, eh. I have no doubt you'll get an AWESOME film filled with AWESOME special effects, cause he's such an AWESOME producer and I especially love his AWESOME explosions.

I'm still gonna adopt a wait-and-see with this. Don't wanna get my hopes up then get it crushed.

Also ...

What do I do with this?

[StarSlayer]

War of the Roses with Battlemechs would be pretty sweet.
