Penumbra the Movie : Who would be your ideal cast ?

[Tommy Gun]

Just having a bit of a think. For the game to be successfully merged into a movie, prepare for vital parts of the game to left out, new characters to appear, and the whole layout of the mine/ facility changed.
Let's face it, to my knowledge/ little research, there has not been a single movie with only one character we see. (if we exclude silents). To get the movie running, and have the enmies introduced in movie style, you would need a second character, e.g, a brother. To introduce dog, have brother starts getting attacked by dog, on ground, yelling, phillip runs out of camera for a few seconds, enters back into camera view then hits the dog with a pick axe, thus, the enemies are introduced, and a weapon is sucessfully implemented, not all that different from "Shaun of the Dead."
Problem is, that Script writers are normally afraid to greatly alter the script, and they want to stick with the material in the game, and so, they fail, because games and movies are two completely different types of media.
for a good game=movie, Be prepared to have a completely different layout of the plot to what the game is, and be prepared for scenes to be left out.
Sorry for the thread necromancy.

If they changed the scripts it would piss off the fans and they would fail anyways.

Yes but, thats a minority, i mean, honestly, outside of sweden, how many people hve heard of penumbra?
You've got a choice of a script that fails because it is just a walkthrough, or you can please the larger audience, and change the script, and have a thousand or so penumbra players who got pissed that it didn't follow the game, and have far more who enjoyed it.
