<div class="IPBDescription">Hollywood and NS?</div> This is just some food for thought:
<span style='color:orange'>What if NS was somehow made into a large-scale movie?</span>

    It would only be a succesful movie if it had scorpions that hovar without flapping in it... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->



    *NS dosnt really have a story to it, therefor, I doubt it would even meet the standards for a movie...unless people would want to watch aliens and marines just fight for no apparent reason at all.

    Have you even read the manual? Saying that NS doesn't have a storyline is a slap in the face of all the hard work Jeff Paris did writing all the background material for the game. NS has a very cool storyline, and a movie version of "Six Days In Sanji" would be one of the coolest things I can think of.

    Do it from the point of view of the aliens, much better <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    NS does have a storyline, and an incredibly in-depth one at that. I think it's rather good movie fodder.

    the question is what genre would it be?
    action, survival horror, musical?

    personally the last one has my vote

    Actually, a two hour fight between aliens and marines woould be sweet. It worked for Black Hawk Down. And We Were Soldiers. It wouldnt need story, just a two hour fight where the aliens eventually get three hives but some brilliant commanding beat them back, or something.

    How do you explain amazing nanites that make all of this possible?

    Will dead characters simply be brought back to life with IPs?

    This is why I find writing NS storys so difficult. It's AWESOME for gameplay, but try to explain it to average joe and it's not so easy.
  • X_StickmanX_Stickman Not good enough for a custom title. Join Date: 2003-04-15 Member: 15533Members, Constellation
    I'd go to see this film. Think of the soundtrack!

    Million Res Nodes
    Cleanse Da Intruders
    Boondock Marines

    Just get some decent actors in. Arnie, Sylvester, Sigorney. Leslie Nealson. Jasper Carrot. John Candy. C3PO, man, it would rock so much.

    even better if the movie was from the alien's piont of view.

    Save the hive!

    Nanites-they try to explain how the RTS interface works for the commander, and how the aliens can do the same thing from the FPS view.

    Who said that the marine you control is the same one as you started with last time? Last I checked it just teleported in reinforcements (ala DoD's reinforcement theory of reincarnation.)

    As for a movie, meh. They made a CS movie IRL, I don't see it not happening for NS if the community gets dedicated enough.

    the movie titled Counter-Strike had NOTHING TO DO WITH CS.

    not the TBS movie!

    The 2-5 minute short film that had EVERYTHING to do with counterstrike.
    Every CS tool in the world said "I won't spoil the ending" at the end of it, lol. /me ruins the movie, almost.

    how about making two movies? marine POV and alien POV. With improved hivesight like some kind of halo-ey version of the alien he currently is. But alien PoV won't have much dialogue it'll mostly be in-head hivemind talking.

    Im sure if Aliens and Starship Troopers an be successful we can give NS a nice back story too.


    I mean look at Starship Troopers. Expendable humans get wasted over and over again by hordes of fast aliens that bite you.

    Starship Troopers -------> Yes, but that movie as also pretty damn stupid lol. I mean, i like it because of all the fighting, etc. But it just shows some marines fighting and dieing, then all of a sudden one dude thinks that there is a brain bug, so they go and capture it. Hmmm....not much of a story there. And I've read the book, it wasn't that much better either. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    So we'll just make a movie of some marines fighting and dying, then all of a sudden one dude thinks that there is a hive, so they go and destroy it.
    I don't think it'd work, it'd REALLY be something like Starship Troopers. It was a fun movie, but not a good one, if you get my point. Or take the Resident Evil movie as an example of a movie made after a game. Good? Somewhat. Great? No. At least I finally got to find out what all this Resident Evil stuff is without having to go buy a game. But hey, zombies and mutant monsters being blown away with shotguns? Seen it before. A computer that kills all humans because that's what its logic compels it to do? 2001 - A Space Odyssey (or how the hell you spell that). No, "Natural Selection - The Movie" might not suck, but it'd be decidedly "blah".
