Arcanum Movie

Hey fans,

So my good friend, a director (a real one with a degree and everything) is seriously considering an arcanum movie idea. So if he can pull it off, which he can, what will be the main characters path etc? Give ideas pls

 

A South African? There's a populace we don't see many of.

I would say a technologist. This game seems like it'd be difficult to condense without losing value... why's he considering it?

 

The beauty of steampunk settings is seeing all the gadgets. Magic would have to exist obviously due to the setting but a gunslinging gadgeteer would be the most interesting character by far.

 

Age of Legends ofc.
Show everything about Vendigroth.

 

Age of Legends is just too LOTR-like though.

 

The main protagonist should be a common Joe who's currently down on his luck. He should have a geeky but witty technologist friend, and a mysterious and complicated mage friend. He should also have a love interest in the shape of a human/half-elf/elf adventurer girl. That, I think, would be the recipe for success.

 

Don't forget the girl needs to have red hair.

 

Re:

Fuck you. She should be a brunette.

 

why does all these comments remind me of wildwildwest? while it was fun to watch, it was a really crappy.

Arcanum movie.. how does your friend plan to find a budget big enough to make a "movie", and last time i checked legal rights of Arcanum belonged to Blizzard. Goodluck buying it from them (even though they dont give a crap about the game, I really doubt they would give away something they came to own)

If he is filthy rich, and will come around all these problems; then I guess best movie would be equally involving Panarii, Malachean Hand Dark Elf alliance, local struggles while digging out the reality. And not revealing anything to audience right from start. it would be better to learn the world as we watch (I love how Darker than Black story advances that way). Plot must be well kept hidden, making audience believe protagonist is really the Living One. So I guess Virgil is a must.

No need to say protagonist must be a gadget user, he should definitely need a Half-Orc follower to show social aspects of Arcanum, and also a magik practitioner for showing how they are treated as second class with the rise of tech.

Less action scenes, more story (it would also be cheaper to produce anyway). But I really doubt this can be pulled off without a multi million budget. I hope your friend knows how to rob a bank or two

 

Re: Re:

Apparently red hair is the rage amongst the nerds. Personally I like attractive people but I guess not everyone can be winners like you and I.

 

Evidently, the love interest should be modelled after the elf on the cover.

 

That one always looked like a drag to me. Comedic plot twist covered then.

 

The love interest is Raven, you nimrods.

 

Wolfsbane, you're back man!
Or were you absent?

 

I like Z'an Al'urin myself.

 

Although Z'an Al'urin and Raven are good choices, I think Jayna Stiles is a better candidate. She just has such an engaging personality - and look at her face:



Pretty damn hawt.

 

Yeah, but i liked her more before the accident.
This movie would need dwarves, lots of them.
A dwarven companion and a magic user companion, or even a magic user dwarf companion would make a nice argument.

 

Imagine if they had a magic using dwarf in the game!

 

Raven has red hair. True story.

 

Zan and Jayna are ok, but Raven is the actual love interest in Arcanum. There's even a little romance story arc with her.
