There's a thread for this in off topic, where it belongs. ;)

Nothing against a good movie, though. :)

it wouldn't be good though, just look at all the other game-movies... Mario and street fighter immediatly spring to mind, though I sorely wish I could forget they ever happened...

It's a movie based on a game. They will hand it to Uwe Boll.

God no. Just because a franchise exists don't mean you need to make a damned movie about it.

ahm i don´t wanna start a riot here but: as far as i know, the rights for a BT Movie have been bought by someone 2 or 3 years ago, around the time when MW(5) had been announced...chances are not TOO bad, that there will be a movie if MW gets a good push this year...

i am praying for it. when i watched Transformers the first time, the scene on the military airport at the beginning....i thought "they GOTTA make a MW Movie"...

Watch Uwe Boll's movie "Carnage" to be surprised. He can do good movies too.

Dont get us wrong. I think everyone here would like to see a good Mechwarrior/Battletehc movie but the chances are against us and noone wants a terrible movie about our favorite hobby.

"I feel the 'mechs should actually be misunderstood alien constructs, and the pilots should be emo teen vampire-zombie-werewolves, and the overarching theme should be a love story. These small changes would make the concept appeal to a much wider audience." <- director's mentality.

I saw that one, it was fairly decent. But one in... I don't know, a couple of dozens? it's kinda bad.

Bay has been after the MW movie for a while, I think they even had something on IGN about it a few years back but he didin't get anyone to back him so he went after the transformers instead.

I think it coulld be done, and could even end up being good, so long as no and I mean no Shia LeBouf type acter is put into it.

That would make me puke a little and want to kill someone. Comedic relief of that nature should be shot and left behind the shed.

The community has been begging, pleading, wishing, hoping, dreaming, groveling, demanding, screaming, etc etc etc for a movie for a long time.

If they can give us transformers....(way over detailed imo) then they sure as hell give us Mechs and Mechwarrior/Battletech live action movie.

I just saw Battleship lastnight...
The graphic and movie technology is there...

GIVE ME MECHWARRIOR MOVIE OR GIVE ME YOUR HEADS HOLLYWOOD!
