hey i was just watching g4 and it was live and the guy said that the movie with legendary pictures was not about diablo but about warcraft....
*sigh* we know. the WoW movie has been announced for some time now, but a while ago legendary pictures (who is also making WoW movie) accidentally posted Diablo in their "In Developement" list. 24 hours after it was spotted and spread around the internet, it was taken off.
I think that if they were going to make a diablo movie there would have to be a lot of involvement from Blizzard for it to not totally suck, and I think we can all agree that the last thing Blizzard needs is another project to distract them from Diablo 3.
they will have a say in everything, because its basically their movie. and legendary is a good studio, surely they will respect blizzard enough to keep them as good friends....no better friend than blizzard. imagine you see in every homepage blizzard owns "Watch Legendary Picture's new film ____!!!"
its the best thing that can happy to anyone. imagine all the people around the world that would see that, and act upon it!
yes, legendary pictures will maintain that high quality standard they already have (300) and with Blizzard's high standards, there will be a movie made that will rival LOTR, which is the best movies of all their genre and aspects (acting, production, quality, graphics, etc).
Diablo could rival a LOTR movie in many ways. I say movie, because as far as the LOTR books go, they really do explore the human condition in a profound way. Sometimes to the point of making me feel vulnerable and emotional. The Diablo books may not have done that as much, but there has definitely been a lot of intense emotion in the game cinematics that could be translated quite well onto the big screen.
The only thing I've been trying to think of lately is whether there's been any mention of an epic battle scene in Diablo lore anywhere to rival those scenes of LOTR. The attack led by Izual on Hellforge could potentially be an incredible scene if done right. I think it would take a lot of directing talent to make a battle between angels and demons not look kind of silly. But I think they could pull it off.
UPDATE:Now the Legendary Pictures homepage has been changed. They have removed Diablo from their under development projects. What gives? it was there, along with World of Warcraft.
Believe it or not, Legendary Pictures has just announced that they are making a movie based on the Diablo series by Blizzard. No word on who will be directing the movie (or writing it or starring in it for that matteR), but if Uwe Boll has any involvement, I say we Diablo fans riot in the streets.
If you ask me, the announcement of this movie brings up three big questions:
1) Will this have any effect on when Blizzard will announce the next Diablo game?
2) Will this be a good movie or will it fall under the "video game movie" curse?
3) How will they handle the Secret Cow Level? Let's face it, if the axe-wielding cows aren't somewhere in the movie, it won't be worth watching.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have seen a trademark for it once. "Diablo: Salvation" I think it was titled.
I'll update if none find it again.

I hate how you use your 2's. But at the most, I'm sure if they wanted to do a tribute to the cows in a Diablo movie, it would be more like a sneaking homage that mostly just the fans of the games would be able to pick out. It's not like The Cow King would have some major role in it or anything.
I don't care what anyone else says. Cows are simply very terrifying animals. And make no mistake about it: if a cow had the chance, it would kill you and everyone in your family.
one of the characters could have a dream about him fighting cows along with a sorc nuking them with metior and barb wwing thru the packs
Wouldn't the Barb die? It'd be a movie, not a game. But then again it'd be in a dream so anything can happen :rolleyes:

Yeh, Diablo made me think totally different about cows... I wonder where the Cow King really lives D: *picks up Javalin* *puts a few stat points into Throw Javalin*

98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature. <- Just for you, Chaos, and just because it's true.
There is going to be a Diablo movie. The person writing the script is none other than Gary Whitta (when asked about it, Gary claimed "he cannot confirm nor deny his role in writing the script for the Diablo movie"), former EIC and current backspace columnist for PC Gamer, writer for the game "Prey" which came out last year, and is currently working on "Reaper" a movie slated for 2008.
Granted this is not concrete, but at the same time, it hasnt been denied.
You seem to be very confident about your.. ehm.. lets call it for now- Premonitions, because for as far as we're all concerned that's what they are, untill further notice. Regardless, if you truly are familiar with these news in a 110% certainty, I could only say thank God for finally noticing us, those who are still loyal to the lesser respected part of Blizzard success (but never lesser important), and Godspeed to both the upcoming movie and game (and God, if you're hearing this- JUST NOT ANOTHER MMO! Ehm.. thank you).

it would def work, not like a huge pack of like 50 or 60 you would get in a game, that would be for the metior or cold orb. but barb jus spinning thru with his giant axe slicing through the sides of the cows like their butter and blood squirting everywhere, that would be a sight to see.
