Heh, perhaps you need to put a large banner at the top of this site: THIS IS NOT A VIDEOGAME MOVIE.

This isn’t a video game adaptation!?!

Aww man…

The funny thing is, I’m certain that even fewer people will understand how wise a decision it is to base the film off of a novel and not a game. I love the MYST games dearly, but they–like most electronic games–don’t translate well to the silver screen. Its a question of going from more open-ended, interactive presentation to linear and narrative.

I’m interested in the political environment there. Enthusiasm for the new Democrats? Support from the entrenched Republicans? Catholic conservatives or college liberals? What influenced your vote?

“Heh, perhaps you need to put a large banner at the top of this site: THIS IS NOT A VIDEOGAME MOVIE.”

Dooooooo it!

So, if I understand correctly, this is (or not) a video game movie displayed as a slideshow

If it’s the case I have an idea for your slideshow movie.
Instead of having one picture for 10 seconds and then another picture for another 10 seconds, display the picture for only 0.04167 seconds and instead of having completely diferrent pictures each time, do only small changes between each ones.
Isn’t that a great idea ? How about a slideshow of ~172800 pictures ?

All in good time.

Brilliant! We can call it - a “Motion Picture”!

For some reason realXCV’s comment made me think of a Myst movie in stop-motion animation… Now that would be awesome, mainly because I love the stop-motion technique.

Just a little about press releases: They are a weird thing. We tried one once, using an online press release company called PRWeb, and it canned. It was for the purpose of advertising the first version of our business website, and we got very little from it. I’ve had friends do wonders with them, however. It sounds to me like you’ve had kind of mixed results with your own (favoring a positive experience).

The same goes for the public. They’re weird and fickle, and they need to be led by the hand whenever they encounter the media, particularly the Internet. We discovered this too late and are having to completely redo our business site.

I think that people who know nothing about the game series or the books will still go to this movie because of how well done it obviously will be! I mean, I know nothing about Iron Man, but I intend to go see the movie anyhow because it looks good.

You can make a good movie out of anything. If you WANTED to make a movie from Myst you could do it. A LOT more story and “action” would have to be infused into the script than the game provides but it could be done. Personally, I think you’re going with a better choice…Ti’ana is more exciting and a better lead-in to the D’niverse.

In regards to some people’s reaction to the release? There seems to be no end to some people’s lack of imagination.

I’d scream “Use me as you will” but that would draw mixed reactions and looks of O_o from people at the GoW

Welp, I think this is the “3rd” time I’ve helped the movie, so I’m on a roll here XD

Either way, yea, don’t worry, we here at the Myst fanbase will help you all the time, alright?

Amen!

If this was a videogame adaption, uwe boll would be on these guys like white on rice.

What influenced your vote? The promise of a 10k tax credit for buying my Hybrid next year. Notre Dame is surprisingly pro-Obama. He took both St. Joe and Elkhart county. More diversity here than you remember. But, not much more.

OOOOOOOH Hybrid! ^______^ Cool
My aunt wrote a book on those
