Guild Wars 2

Considering the eternal rivalry…

WoW’s movie coming out in June 2016.

When’s GW 2’s scheduled for? wink

How would the poster for such a movie look like in your vision?

Poster:

Entirely white with an obscure draconic emblem.

Guild Wars 2, in movie theaters soon!™

Edit: TM superscript ends up as REALLY tiny on forums

I would throw so much money at a GW2 movie.

Yeah and then you start watching the movie and 3/4 into it a message shows up stating they have suspended production of the rest of the movie but don’t worry they already have a team working on the sequel.

Would be be based on the books and destiny’s edge if they made a movie?

The movie should be based on the forums. Some of the people’s flamboyant drama on these forums are definitely worthy of an Oscar or two.

^this, definitely.

Fantasy films rarely work, i will stick to my imagination

if there was a guild wars movie it would probably be set during the guild wars and be human centric in fact i doubt you would see any non humans besides maaaybe tengu and dwarves; not really the best marketing tool for gw2.
the poster would be pretty generic as far as fantasy movies go.
now if they did a stylized CGI film with their amazing concept art for a poster maybe going for a shorter internet release or mini-series rather than trying for a full theatrical feature would serve alot better.

If ANet were to fund or produce a movie for Guild Wars, it might be better to start from the beginning.

GW1’s opening missions from Pre-Searing up through about mission 7 of Prophecies could be the basis for a really epic intro movie featuring a band of heroes that witness the Searing and then heroically lead a band of survivors through the desolated and charr-occupied ruins Ascalon, then try to elude the Stone Summit dwarves in a journey across the Shiverpeaks, and finally confront a growing undead menace in Kryta, before ultimately reaching Lion’s Arch. From a pacing standpoint, it would allow for an introduction, 3 distinct segments each with a major climax, and a final conclusion. The tale would be heavy on action, but it would still offer lots of opportunity for character growth along the way. It would also be a good introduction to many famous characters (NPCs, henchman, etc) and locations in Tyria, and exposure to some of the major races (humans, charr, dwarves). Even though they weren’t introduced in the game until later, they could easily work in some Asura and Norn too without much difficulty.

Meanwhile, the rest of Prophecies could potentially be the basis for 2 more movies. For example, the 2nd movie could cover missions 8 through 14, where the heroes discover the secrets of the White Mantle, and ultimately escape from their clutches. And then a final movie covering missions 15 through 25 where the heroes ascend, battle against the mursaat and eventually stop the Lich.

At that point, they could easily skip Factions (events in Cantha could be mentioned in rumors, but not shown) and Nightfall (ditto for events in Elona). The events of Eye of the North culminating in the battle between the Great Destroyer and the Great Dwarf could then serve as the basis for the next movie or simply used as an intro that bridges to the next set of movies that occur in the GW2 timeframe.

Whenever Uwe Boll is free, I imagine.

I’ll totally pay for a trilogy with the full story of Cobiah marriner and the foundation of Lion’s Arch.
