Blaze The Movie Fan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm pretty sure I did make a thread like this in the past, but since I don't wanna bump up an ancient thread, I decided to make a new one.Anyway, I think this thread does make for an interesting discussion. Do you think there will EVER be a RuneScape live-action movie? Now the Warcraft movie was very good in my opinion, and it did make more than double its budget in the box office, so I think there is now a good possibility a RuneScape live-action movie can be successful. What do you think? Do you think there ever will be one? I know that would be hard to do since there are trillions of things you can do since Gielnor is a huge open world, but I think it can work.

Ammako Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Will there ever be one? Maybe, I guess. Can't really compare it to Warcraft, given that while RS is somewhat popular, it's also not nearly as popular as the Warcraft franchise is. That and it really wouldn't be a good use of whatever budget Jagex has right now, imo. People are already complaining about the microtransactions, do you think Jagex deciding to use those profits for making a movie out of the blue instead of investing it into the game would be well received? :P That being said, it's still possible that some people could make a fan-made movie, it wouldn't have to come from Jagex directly. It would need to be non-profit, unless they'd buy permission from Jagex to produce and publish it or something. This also means it'd likely be low-budget, but you never know. It wouldn't really be hard to find something to do for it though, there are -a lot- of fairly long quest lines in RS and any one of them could easily last for a full feature-length movie if not more.

Tusimo Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 but would you want one? I mean, WoW had plot holes and Assassin's Creed didn't really make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Movie Fan Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 but would you want one? I mean, WoW had plot holes and Assassin's Creed didn't really make sense. Yeah you're right. I'd rather have a somewhat good RuneScape live-action movie than a bad one. Most video game movies are bad. But I still would like to see the world of Gielnor being brought into live-action.

Melos Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I also doubt it. The game isn't nearly as popular as Assassin's Creed, World of Warcraft, etc. Also most game movies are terrible, and those are for games with actual a single story-line. RuneScape doesn't really have a single story-line, so I can only see it possibly if they try to make a movie off the books? And even then, the books are quite different from RS the game... there are horses in them for example lol. I really can't see a movie coming from RuneScape anytime soon. If we are lucky, maybe a short anime/show like what Halo and Castlevania did...

The majority of the quests in RuneScape are story-driven. There are also many series of quests that all share the same story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's his point actually - in other words, there are so many different stories and threads that it's hard to pick one, specific one fundamental to the game. I don't know if it would ever happen (sponsored by Jagex), but maybe some fans or college students in a film-oriented major might try it sometime. You never know...

Skai_47 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 That's not a bad idea. You can make so many different stories, plot twist from it. However agree with Arceus - might be too difficult to pick one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
