Has anyone heard ANYTHING about this? The one and only entry on IGN was in 2007, IMDB still shows it as In Development. Has it been forgotten or abandoned? |

All I've ever seen reported is that the "movie rights" were purchased. Movie rights are purchased all the time without a movie ever being made. They can be "sat on" until they expire... or brokered to someone who gets more excited about a prospective movie than the rights' owner... or until someone has the time to sit back, look through his asset pile, and suddenly get the inspiration to go ahead...
If I could afford it, I'd buy them from Tom deSanto and try to make the movie myself.

There was at least one really good thread with player ideas about this a while ago. I can't remember if it was before the big forum restart wipe or not. Might want to use your search-fu to see if it still there. It was a good read.

By the way, it's in good company. The Superman movie franchise was in there for twenty years between "Superman IV" and "Superman Returns". Ditto for the Batman series between "Batman and Robin (aka The Saturday Morning Cartoon)" and "Batman Begins". Currently in there are...
* Wonder Woman (the live-action one, not the animated movie out on DVD)
* Justice League
* The Flash
* Preacher (from the DC/Vertigo comic series)
* Sandman (the Burtonesque Neil Gaiman version)
* Halo (yes, the Xbox game)

I think that they should take the Web of Arachnos novel and make a movie out of it.
However, I think they should modernize it.

What if the player base all contributed to the cause??
"A great love is alot like a good memory. When it's there and you know it's there,but it's just out of your reach. It can be all that you think about. You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you. I just need to be somewhere she can find me" - Church from Red vs Blue
James Cameron might make it, but subs would have to go up to $1000 a month...

Why would you *want* to modernize it?!

If only Miss Sam *could* get the movie rights! Not only would the movie be super-awesome, but it would be made *on time* AND *within* budget!
