blizzard + paramount + 100 million budget = movie

just read that blizzard and paramount have begun the final scripting for a movie based in their world. nothign tied to games, just a movie.

but with a 100 million budget and thier graphic design skills,im wondering how sick the animation will be... unless it is a live action adaptation... which i think would cost more....

from all thier game cutscenes and intro videos...... i can think that one of the best computer animated films is gonna drop.

That seems like a low budget by today's standards for a film. Wasn't the cost for GD in Transformers something like 240 mil?

That's awesome. Was just saying in the Wrath of Lich King thread they should step up and make a movie.

I was just referring to the computer generated stuff. Not the other effects.

$100m is a relatively low budget for a CG movie.

Compare that to the budgets of other recent CG movies:

Ratatouille : $150m Shrek 3 : $160m Wall-E : $180m

^ Which are all big studio pictures with production based in the US.

My guess is that they will shop out a lot of the dirty work to Korea for a fraction of the price.

You guys see this?

The CGI team at Blizzard are amazing. All their game trailers and intros are sick. A movie from those guys would be great.

seriosuly. these guys are at a different level with comp anime. i mean, pixar is pixar, but these guys are at that level, just a different style.

Re: blizzard + paramount + 100 million budget = movie

Pixar is great for clean, cute, and easy to look at cgi for everyone. Blizz could make some sick D&D / fantasy type stuff if they were tasked which would be killer.

I think hatever 'cards' Blizzard Ent. will be dealt in regards to producing a film, they will make the best use of 'them'

I dunno though, will they go mainstream or make a cult classic, reminiscent of their older games?

There's a blog where someone uses that for NSFW links of hoes.

Re: blizzard + paramount + 100 million budget = movie

Man this would be pretty dope...imho

Granted I wish they'd stick to one of the game lore story lines. I'd kill to see a movie based on the Diablo or Warcraft series.

But then again I'm an uber dork who actually read all the back story books...rofl

Re: blizzard + paramount + 100 million budget = movie

A while back they released something saying they were doing this with legendary pictures under the contract of Warner Bros?
