Ubisoft, one of Europe's largest game publishers, announced a few days ago, that opens the movie studio. President - Yves Guillemot - immediately aims high, and says it ultimately wants to reach a level such as that associated strongly with Peter Jackson, Weta studio (scenery, costumes, makeup and special effects for Lord of Rings , ran around the corner and cried Captain Obvious). What could it come to fruition in the future?
first thing that comes to mind is "can someone finally propels the basis of a good video game" because I do not look like that, so far the reasons for the joy arising from the transfer of well-known figures from the screen TV / monitor on the cinema screen was not too much. A lot of people will not agree with that, but Silent Hill he went. Pretty good, but no major revelations last year was also Prince of Persia . Here I go now to the muddy terrain and write that I still liked the first Resident Evil . Do not mention Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children , because it's more a continuation than a screen version, but successful. And besides that? Nothing. Typically, only embarrassment combined with an unhealthy amusement and average on Rotten Tomatoes at the limits of 20-30%. So why now has to be better? (Note, the author of the text is an optimist!)
First: Ubisoft already has some experience. With the launch of Assassin's Creed II was filmed trzyodcinkowy Web series being presented in the prologue to the history of the game. The whole was recorded entirely in the studio, and the background ones were added in postproduction on computers. As the applied solution, a microscopic budget and the target distribution channel - the effect is surprisingly good. Completely unknown actors do not threaten the wooden game, written in the script dialogues do not hurt your ears viewer, delight the eye action scenes, and costumes used in the level of performance surpass those of the Polish historical blockbuster. Of course, few things in the middle of the grind (eg the main character zeskakujący in one scene from the roof of the cobbled street in a little trashy and rather theatrically), but there is nothing very serious.
Secondly, the studio will want to take care of the brand created by myself, so do not let them zeszmacić. Why poor quality of films Uwe Boll has made such a legendary status? Sam, the director said in an interview that few care about the game as source material - he need only recognizable title and a little noise that the fans will do the brand on the internet before the premiere. I assume that Ubisoft will be trying to put in the production of more than just a soulless job, and learn more than just money calculated. Since becoming independent Marvelowi came after a sensational Iron Man and not a nightmare Ghost Rider, then something needs to be on the stuff.
course there is always some risk. Marvel went "to his" after years of collaboration with other film studios, and his comics exist in the minds of many more potential viewers (over 40 years on the market is doing its) than the game signed with the logo of the French publisher. The history of the industry is already familiar with one example very successful merger cinema and gaming areas of interest by developers. In 2001 Final Fantasy: Spirits Within on the verge of bankruptcy Japanese Square, leading to the acquisition of an existing since the early eighties the company by its main competitor. Japanese stumbled on the fact that they wanted to introduce a revolutionary cinema and shrilly through technology, and brand loyal fans in addition to a few people were inclined to buy a ticket. Well, that's some mistakes that others can draw conclusions from them. So keep your fingers crossed for Żabojadów I hope and hope that the players receive in the next few years the movie that you will not have to be ashamed of in the company.
And finally a quick review of potential projects:
Assassin's Creed - written for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years intrigue and eternal conflict between the two organizations: Assassins and the Templars. Hoaxes, tricks, betrayal, deceit and the mass of material assembled in an equally interesting story interesting realities. Games already przerobiły Holy Land at the time of the Crusades Richard the Lionheart, Renaissance Italy and the near future. Chance of a great adventure movie.
Far Cry - vs. mercenary army paratroopers of the genetic experiments in the background. Mark burned by a German. Maybe even better.
Uwe greets fans.
Heroes of Might and Magic - that is, a fantasy battle. On the big screen is not likely to appear, because everyone still remember Lord of the Rings, but Ubisoft has plans to also implement a series, so who knows ...
IL-2 Sturmovik - World War II and the historical battles involving armies of all possible planes. Band of Brothers with wings?
HAWX - Same as above, only in the present, when a fictional conflict, written by Tom Clancy.
Ghost Recon - Same as above, only without the planes, and elite infantry division.
Splinter Cell - again Clancy, political fiction again, this time alone, well trained and equipped superagent. First, working for a government organization, and later fought against it. The main character can play anyone important that the voice he still voiced by Michael Ironside.
Myst - a man can create from scratch a new world and close it in book form. After that it takes such a dream world of his family, and the inside begins to write another book, and then another. At one point, two of the volumes become even prison for his sons. Great starting point for the director of the imagination.
Prince of Persia - hey, it already was!
Rayman - cartoon whose main character is characterized by a complete lack of elbows and knees. Besides him, the film will be wild and untamed Rabbids (not a typo), which look like this:
madness on the screen.
