Cool.
(I WISH that the forum search function was made one hell of a lot better. Type in the word movie and you get 200 entries that have nothing to do with a movie, it's just that the post contains the word movie, worse it seems to then list every flaming entry made on that post)

And why would no one care if they did? I mean, if it was well made then it would get the name of the game out into the mainstream. At the end of the day the only reason WoW is so popular is because the mainstream media latched onto it as a MMORPG that they could easily explain to the public, and since then have stuck with WoW because it saves having to do extra research. As WoW is the MMORPG that everybody hears about then it is the game that people buy when wanting to try out a MMORPG, and this in turn leads to even more media coverage, which in turn leads to an increased player base. Tap into that cycle with a well made movie and CoX goes from strength to strength.
When Hollywood is out of ideas it will grab anything to tick over. I think CoH/CoV ain't as bad as one may think, superheroes and aliens..hmmm..well when you own the rights ya can't be had for any kind of idea stealing.

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Because DeSanto's had the rights for years and isn't ever going to do anything with them?

Well, on Febuary he said he made a script, but that's all we heard so far. So it is probably just abandoned.
if you hear nothing about it doesn't mean he abandon it, you here nothing about GW2 but it's still under construction.

No, it's because most movie makers actually keep in touch reguarly also it's almost 5 months since that, so he's left it hanging or completly abandoned it.

Well we actually poked NC Europe about this in February; party line is he's had it for years and doesn't want to/won't do anything with it.
And the game's industry is very different to the movie industry.
heh, i have an artical about the COX movie, if you life in holland then look at pc gameplay.
still pessimistic about it, or are you now speculating things you don't know at all....?
We (that is, myself, Extremus, Fire Guardian and Xanthus) asked the NCsoft staff in person about the movie, and word then was that it wasn't going anywhere at all.
We have it on tape somewhere.
I'm kind of surprised that this hasn't been mentioned before (and if it has, 'umble apologies), but how about plans for a City of Heroes movie?
Even if it was only moderately successful it would boost the size of the player base. Personally I'ld like to see something in the Transformers kind of movie (lot's of action, very little need to engage brain).
Given the crop of other hero movies occuring at the moment (Hulk 2, Iron Man, Batman, Thor in 2010, etc.), I can't help feeling that CoX would be missing a trick if they didn't commission a movie as well.
(Plus, think how chuffed the developers would be to see their characters on the bigscreen).
Failing a movie there's always the option to go for a mini-series, as Sky has done with their two recent Pratchett conversions.
